Filter by:This is a prospective, multicenter observational study evaluating the efficacy of ganglion stimulation (medical device) in cases of post-herpetic neuropathy. This study introduces recent methods of phenotypic stratification of postherpetic neuropathy into the field of interventional pain therapy. The aim is to identify which clinical expression of this diverse pathology can derive the greatest benefits from an otherwise effective but expensive therapy such as ganglion stimulation. The study protocol includes the application of a common clinical practice, already in use for several years at the promoting center and participating centers (as well as internationally scientifically codified). It is supported by an innovative stratification of clinical expression (phenotype of the disease), recently introduced in the literature. The study aims to identify, through careful clinical evaluation, predictive indices of the greatest success in invasive ganglion stimulation therapy, a treatment associated with significant system costs and considerable inconvenience for the patient. The results of the experimentation will allow the codification of evaluative clinical pathways to predict a higher success index in certain clinical expressions of postherpetic neuropathy compared to others. This will help reduce the costs of implant trials and enable defining the real objective of the proposed therapy in consultation with the patient.
This was a multicenter randomized controlled study. 66 post-stroke patients with pharyngeal dysphagia were randomly allocated to the observation group (n=33) or the control group (n=33). Both groups were provided with comprehensive rehabilitation including routine rehabilitation and swallowing function training. Besides, the observation group additionally underwent the stellate ganglion block (SGB). At admission and after 20-day treatment, Kubota water swallowing test, video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) were used to assess swallowing function.
Here, this study aimed to conduct magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of the thoracic DRGs in a cohort of healthy individuals. The acquired images will be thoroughly analyzed utilizing 3D-slicer software. We expect to furnish crucial baseline anatomical data of thoracic DRGs in healthy subjects, provide an anatomical basis for clinical investigation and therapeutic interventions.
For patients scheduled to undergo upper limb sympathetic nerve block due to chronic neuropathic pain in the upper limb lasting more than 3 months, the ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion block group (S group) and the fluoroscopy-guided thoracic sympathetic nerve block group (T) Patients are randomly assigned 1:1 to one of the groups, and the procedure is performed. To evaluate the effectiveness of sympathetic nerve blockade, temperature changes in both palms are measured twice, 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after the procedure, using an infrared thermographer. Other variables related to the procedure are surveyed by outpatient visit or telephone before the procedure, after the procedure, before returning home, and 1 week and 1 month after the procedure.
At present, there are no reports on the application of stellate ganglion block in the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients at home and abroad. Based on the preliminary clinical observation, this project intends to apply stellate ganglion block in the treatment of patients with intermediate and advanced Parkinson's disease through an open, randomized controlled small sample clinical study. To determine whether stellate ganglion block can effectively improve motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms in patients with primary advanced Parkinson's disease.
Efficacy of Nicotinamide on Retinal Ganglion Cell Functions in Glaucoma Patients : Clinical Trial, Cross-over Design, Double-blind, Placebo-control, Randomized, Single-center Study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the combination of Ultra Sound (US) guided radiofrequency stellate ganglion block (SGB) and radiofrequency Thoracic Paravertebral block (TPVB) comparing to US-guided SGB or TPVB alone on the post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS).
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block on surgical conditions, hemodynamics, intraoperative and postoperative analgesic use, recovery characteristics, and postoperative pain during septorhinoplasty under general anesthesia. The study was planned as double-blind, randomized, controlled. 72 patients who will undergo septorhinoplasty surgery will be collected. (g power analysis was performed.) Evaluation of the effectiveness of bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block was planned. Patients will be divided into 2 equal groups (36 patients). After the induction of general anesthesia, one group (Group: 1) will be administered 8mg dexamethasone and 10mg bupivacaine submucosal, the other group (group:2) will be administered 4 cc saline. aspects will be evaluated.
Evaluate the efficacy of two regimens of management in relieving chronic refractory pain in patients with upper limb complex regional pain syndrome after orthopedic trauma
The aim of this study is to compare the diameter of Left internal mammary artery and its blood flow by using the pulsatility index before and after the left stellate ganglion block in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
