Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combining low level laser therapy with cognitive behavioral treatment for patients with temporomandibular joint disorders using a randomized controlled design.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of muscle preliminary contraction in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. HYPOTHESIS: Muscle preliminary contraction has a significant short-term and long-term effect in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. RESEARCH METHODS: At least 216 patients with degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty, will be studied. They will be randomized into pairwise sub-groups. All will receive standard advice. The maneuver sub¬groups will receive additional advice - preliminary contraction of the muscles in the corresponding kinesiology segment. This advice will be embedded in all motor activities of daily living involving the relevant area. The following follow-up parameters will be used: visual analogue pain scale, manual muscle testing, goniometry, centimeter, and preliminary contraction success rate. Their follow-up will be threefold - at the beginning, after 1, and after 6 months. For statistical processing, multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA), with post hoc Bonferroni multiple tests, and Pearson correlation analysis, with post hoc regression analysis, will be used. CONCLUSION: The positive results will allow the preliminary muscle contraction to be used as a universal tool in the rehabilitation, prevention, and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty (international contribution). This maneuver is very short (seconds), easy (everybody can perform it), does not require the allocation of time, space, and resources (including financial ones), and is instantly incorporated into everyday life.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and impaired function in the lower back and pelvis region.
Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are recommended as an important tool in follow-up of osteoporosis treatment. However, there is a lack of knowledge in the reliability of BTMs during and after glucocorticoid treatment. Glucocorticoids suppresses BTMs during treatment with at least 30% and, moreover, glucocorticoids increase the risk of fractures. Patients with an inflammatory joint disease are at increased risk of osteoporosis, and disease flares are often treated with glucocorticoids, whichmin turn can lead to loss in reliability of the BTMs in patients who also are on osteoporosis treatment. There is a need of more knowledge on BTM changes during and after glucocorticoid treatment for optimized patientcare, reduced risk of side effects and reduced health economic costs.
The sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) which has a widely heterogeneous etiology, may cause impairment of stability, mobility, posture and flexibility as well as pain due to adaptive or pathological biomechanical changes. In 2020, the number of patients with low back pain (LBP) worldwide was more than half a billion and is expected to exceed 800 million by 2050. Although SIJD has been shown to be related with LBP in more than 30% of patients with LBP, SIJD is still often overlooked as a cause of LBP. Once the diagnosis of SIJD is confirmed by physical examination, the first treatment option consists of the use of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or physiotherapy approaches. The proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a neurophysiological model-based multifaceted exercise method which is widely used in rehabilitation practice. However, despite the major role of SIJD among the causes of LBP, there are limited studies investigating the efficacy of PNF in SIJD and its effectiveness remains unclear. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pelvic PNF techniques on pain, mobility, flexibility, lumbar range of motion, posture, and trunk muscle endurance in patients with SIJD.
The aim of the present study was to assess the treatment outcomes in patients affected by M-TMDs in terms of pain scores assessed with pressure pain threshold (PPT). The levels of de-pression, anxiety and the Oral-Health Impact profile were also assessed and compared to healthy controls. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of M-TMDs and a control group of healthy subjects were enrolled. At baseline, OHIP-14, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 were administered. PPT was registered at the level of masseter and temporalis muscles. The patients were then treated with oral splints and physio-kinesiotherapy following a standardized treatment protocol. At 6-months follow-up, PPT was registered, and the questionnaires were re-administered to compare treatment outcomes.
This clinical study aims at evaluating clinical, radiographic, patient-reported outcomes of total knee arthroplasty with Physica TT Tibial Plate in combination with Physica Porous KR or Physica Porous PS up to 2 years after surgery, in order to assess the performance of the devices. Furthermore, ithe objective is to collect short-term survivorship of the implant and the incidence of early complications.
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of NSS2-Bridge in postoperative pain management in comparison to Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA).
This randomised controlled study was conducted to investigate the comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises on individuals with hemophilic arthropathy in the lower extremity. There are two groups in the study: home exercises and comprehensive physiotherapy combined with home exercises. Is physiotherapy combined with home exercises superior to home exercises on joint health, bleeding frequency, reaction time, dynamic balance, muscle strength? The aim of this study is to increase the compliance of hemophilic individuals to physiotherapy and adapt home exercises to their lives with weekly sessions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study about the clinical effect of Intra-articular Injection on Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction The main question it aims to answer is: • Can Intra-articular Injection help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Participants will be randomly assigned into the experimental group and the control group, all under comprehensive treatment. The experimental group will be given Intra-articular Injection additionally, The study lasts 15 days for each patient. Researchers will compare the assessments between the two groups to see if Intra-articular Injection can help improve the Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
