Filter by:Therapeutic effectiveness of coldness in relieving pain and reducing inflammation has been known for many years now. Over that time, various coldness therapies have gained in popularity, including winter swimming, snow baths or whole body cryostimulation (WBC) . Recent researches have shown positive effects of WBC on metabolic profile, low-to-moderate chronic inflammation and related diseases (e.g., obesity). WBC could be, thus, intended as an adjuvant method in the treatment of dysmetabolic conditions, such as overweight or obesity. WBC is a cheap easily accessible practice, with a few well-defined contraindications and limited non severe possible adverse events, if performed in specialized centres. At the same time, in sport science appears data, which indicated on inhibition of adaptive changes induced by regular training. The primary aim is to define, through a randomized controlled approach, the relative effectiveness of up to 20 consecutive sessions of either WBC, high-intensity intermittent training (HIIT), or their combination (WBC and HIIT) in improving the metabolic status of overweight and obese subjects. The effects will be assessed, at different time-points, in terms of insulin sensitivity and modification in the profile of hormones regulating the energy metabolism (adipokines, myokines, bone-derived hormones) and the inter-organ cross-talk.
Statement of the problem: Postoperative pain following endodontic treatment is a common complication that might require analgesics for pain relief. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and Intracanal Cryotherapy (ICCT) are both recommended as non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment modalities for management of painful situations. Aim of the study: This study is conducted to clinically evaluate and compare the effect of both LLLT and ICCT on post-endodontic pain (PEP) over 5 days in molars with symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP) using visual analog scale (VAS). Materials & Methods: This parallel arm, randomized clinical trial will involve 95 systemically free patients with SAP in molars. The patients will be randomly allocated to 5 equal groups as follows: control (no intervention), placebo (mock laser therapy), LLLT, ICCT and a combination of both. Postoperative pain levels after 6 hrs, 12 hrs, on 2nd day and 5th day are going to be assessed on the VAS and shall be noted. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analysed.
