NCT ID: NCT06380439 Not yet recruiting - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

The Effect of Wrist Ankle Acupuncture on Post-Total Hip Arthroplasty Pain

Start date: April 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most cost-effective orthopedic surgical procedures which can restore hip function and improve the patient's quality of life. However, total hip arthroplasty is significantly associated with postoperative pain. Pain after total hip arthroplasty surgery can adversely affect the patient's early postoperative recovery, postoperative mobility, and hinder rehabilitation. Wrist ankle acupuncture (WAA) is a simpler acupuncture technique, using fewer points, shallow needle insertion and lighter stimulation. Wrist-ankle acupuncture as multimodal analgesia after orthopedic surgery is useful for reducing pain and reduce the incidence of post-surgical side effects. The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether wrist ankle acupuncture therapy gives better and results for post total hip arthroplasty pain than sham wrist ankle acupuncture

NCT ID: NCT06371638 Completed - Postoperative Pain Clinical Trials

Dexmedetomidine and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD)

CODE-POCD
Start date: January 7, 2024
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) affects all age groups and can lead to increased morbidity and more extended hospital stays. Dexmedetomidine reduces POCD by inhibiting the increase in proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α, and its anti-inflammatory activity contributes to its protective effect. Previous studies found that dexmedetomidine reduced POCD incidence in non-cardiac and cardiac surgery. Therefore, the goal of this study was to specifically investigate if using TCI dexmedetomidine to maintain anaesthesia in laparotomy surgeries reduces the incidence of POCD compared to inhalation anaesthesia by sevoflurane.

The Role of Manual Twirling Acupuncture in Reducing Muscle Pain and Stiffness After Biceps Curling in Healthy Untrained Individuals

Start date: April 22, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Regular physical activity can help to prevent and control non-communicable disease. WHO recommends at least in adults to do moderate-vigorous physical activity includes muscle strengthening. But regardless the importance and recommendations of physical activity, not all of the world's population does it .Biceps Curling is a popular physical exercise which easy to do , it can strengthen the muscles in the upper body. However based on the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in individuals who just starting to do physical exercise may experience pain and can become a barrier to do physical activity, so an approach is needed to prevent this and acupuncture is one of them. Currently, a lot of acupuncture research has been carried out to reduce the condition pain and stiffness after weight training, but there are not many study using manual acupuncture twirling in this condition . That's why the aim of this study Is to see the efficacy of giving manual acupuncture with twirling stimulation for pain and stiffness post weight training. The study method will be a Single Blinded Crossover Randomized Controlled Trial which will compare the efficacy of Manual Acupuncture twirling with Manual Acupuncture Sham for post-exercise pain and stiffness .

NCT ID: NCT06355115 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Pacemaker Complication

Prophylactic Antibiotics Duration Towards Healing and Risk of Infection in Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) Installation

PACE-PRO
Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The insertion of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) is frequently a life-saving procedure. However, the implantation process could sometimes lead to a rare but serious infection. Therefore, administering prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infections before they occur, is a useful strategy to lower the risk of such infections. Nonetheless, the optimal duration of prophylactic antibiotics for PPM remains uncertain. Individual study results are ambiguous and debatable due to the fact that each center has its own policy governing the regimen for prophylactic antibiotic use. Accordingly, the goal of this clinical trial is to assess and compare the effectiveness of two types of widely used prophylactic antibiotic durations in relation to the risk of infections following PPM implantations. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the efficacy of different durations of prophylactic antibiotics (single dosage vs 3-day dosage) in preventing infective complications following PPM implantations? 2. What factors may influence the optimum use of prophylactic antibiotics for individual patients undergoing PPM implantation to minimize the risk of infective complications? Researchers will compare a single dosage vs a 3-day dosage of prophylactic antibiotics following the PPM implantation procedure to see the risk of device-related infections. Participants will: - Be given a single-dose or 3-days dose of antibiotic regarding the PPM installations. - Visit the clinic for follow-ups and tests.
