Filter by:The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of trigger point injections with 1% lidocaine in reducing myofascial back and neck pain in the Emergency Department compared to lidocaine patches 5%.
Patients with a definite diagnosis of classical TGN and PIFP will undergo a structured clinical questionnaire and a trigeminal sensory profile using the quantitative sensory testing. Clinical measures and sensory profiles will be correlated with MRI measures.
Post craniotomy pain is defined as headache developed up to 7 days from a craniotomy, not otherwise explained. A moderate to severe pain affects from 60 to 84% of patients. Sphenopalatine ganglion block has been successfully used in patients with chronic or acute headache, facial pain and for transsphenoidal pituitary and endoscopic sinus surgeries. There are evidences that sphenopalatine ganglion block reduces vegetative responses to skull pin closure. This study aim to investigate feasibility and efficacy of sphenopalatine ganglion block in reducing pain after a neurosurgical supratentorial craniotomy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the injectate spread in erector spinae plane blocks under fluoroscopy.
This is a 16-week non-blinded, parallel, controlled trial to determine the feasibility and potential efficacy of an olive oil dietary intervention to alleviate facial pain caused by trigeminal neuralgia type 1 (TGN).
The study will determinate influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with myofascial disorders in the SS.
Orofacial pain is one of the most common dysfunctions among wind musicians, a population with a high incidence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Regarding the treatment of TMD, the efficacy of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise has been studied, but there is a lack of high quality research supporting its implementation. There is, however, an agreement on the need of combining the treatment of the temporomandibular joint and the cervical spine, due to their close biomechanical relation. Aims of the study: To analyse the efficacy of an evidence-based manual therapy protocol alone or in combination with an exercise program on the treatment of orofacial pain during musical practice on wind musicians. Furthermore, this study aims at observing whether if said treatment is more effective in the short, medium, or long term, and which variables are the most influenced.
Aims of this research are to detect if an improvement in sleep pattern in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), produces a reduction in pain and dysfunction in the orofacial area by examining variation in temporo-mandibular disorder (TMD) signs and symptoms and if the prevalence of TMDs in OSA patients controlling this disease decreases to levels comparable to healthy subjects. 41 OSA patients will undergo a complete TMD examination prior to start any OSA treatment and after at least 18 months of therapy. Variations in TMD signs and symptoms will be recorded.
Exparel has a proven efficacy in providing pain relief for up to 72 hours with a single-dose administration at surgical sites. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopically-guided injection of Exparel (Bupivacaine) for the treatment of craniofacial pain. This study would be conducted in a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo- controlled, and cross-over fashion. We aim to investigate whether the administration of Exparel (Bupivacaine) to the lateral nasal wall may positively impact craniofacial pain and functional outcomes, in patients who experience relief with the topical application of Lidocaine (routinely given prior to almost all ENT endoscopy).
Chronic neck pain is among the most frequently seen chronic painful conditions. As an important cause of disability, chronic neck pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that negatively affects quality of life. Cervical disc herniation is one of the leading causes of chronic neck pain and conservative methods such as exercise and pain medications are used first in the treatment. In patients unresponsive to conservative treatment, epidural steroid injection is successfully and frequently used treatment option. Epidural steroid injection in the cervical region can be applied with two approaches: interlaminar or transforaminal. Myofascial trigger point characterized by intramuscular taut band and hypersensitive spots is a condition in which central and peripheral sensitization play a role in the pathophysiology. There are underlying myofascial trigger points in many etiologies that cause chronic neck pain. Trigger points can increase the severity of pain and in some cases they can be the main factor in the etiology of pain. Therefore, the presence of myofascial trigger points should be investigated, even if another cause is detected in chronic neck pain. Dry needling is an easily applicable and effective treatment option in myofascial trigger point. Although it is well known that myofascial trigger points frequently accompany cervical disc herniation, their effect on treatment outcomes has not been investigated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of dry needling for trigger points on the treatment results of interlaminar epidural steroid injection in patients diagnosed with cervical disc herniation.
