NCT ID: NCT03479736 Completed - Retinal Detachment Clinical Trials

A Study of Fluoroquinolones Exposure and Collagen-Related Serious Adverse Events

Start date: November 20, 2017
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether there is an increased risk of achilles tendon rupture (ATR), retinal detachment (RD) or aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) following exposure to fluoroquinolone (FQ) or other antibiotics (amoxicillin, azithromycin, trimethoprim and trimethroprim/sulfamethoxazole) or febrile illness not treated with antibiotics, using a study design that minimizes the impact of confounders not usually captured in health services databases such as heredity or smoking.

NCT ID: NCT03029910 Completed - Tendinopathy Clinical Trials

Eccentric Training and Cryotherapy Vs Eccentric Training and Whole Body Vibration in Achilles Tendinopathy

Start date: January 30, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of eccentric exercise combined with vibration or cryotherapy in Achilles tendon pathology. The investigators hypothesis is that the combined eccentric exercise is better than the results presented by the exclusive eccentric exercise. This intervention differs from the classic studies in that we maintain the intensity throughout the treatment.

NCT ID: NCT03014739 Completed - Achilles Tendon Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Shear Wave Elastography Reproducibility in Achilles Tendons and Plantar Fascia

ME1
Start date: June 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Achilles tendon plays a significant role in walking and sporting activities, particularly through ankle joint and lower limbs stability. Ultrasound imaging can be the first-line examination of choice for patients suspected of having Achilles tendon injury, which is more and more frequent. Nowadays, ultrasound elastography can be used to evaluate the viscoelasticity properties of Achilles tendon, however little is known about the reproducibility of the technique. This study aims to evaluate the reproducibility of supersonic shear imaging SWE™ Young's modulus measurements of shear wave velocity (m/s) in Achilles tendon and plantar fascia.

NCT ID: NCT02062567 Completed - Ultrasound Clinical Trials

Ultrasonographic Guided Treatment of Acute Achilles Tendon Rupture. Evaluation of Two Novel Ultrasonographic Measurements

Start date: February 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

With this project the investigators wish to: 1. Test the reproducibility of Amlang's ultrasound classification by examining the intra- and inter-rater reliability. 2. Investigate whether Amlang's ultrasound classification is able to predict which patients are likely to develop complications when treated non-operatively. 3. Investigate whether Barfod's length measurement is able to predict which patients are likely to develop complications when treated non-operatively.
