The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two methods of arthrocentesis in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is surgery-guided arthrocentesis more efficient in terms of operation time compared to traditional two-needle arthrocentesis? Does the use of surgical guides lead to less postoperative pain and better patient comfort? Participants will: Undergo either the traditional two-needle arthrocentesis or the surgery-guided arthrocentesis. Be monitored for operation time, postoperative pain, and overall patient comfort. Researchers will compare the outcomes of patients who underwent traditional two-needle arthrocentesis with those who had surgery-guided arthrocentesis to see if the latter can shorten operation time and improve patient comfort.
The ceramic-ceramic friction pair is widely used today in total hip arthroplasty, including fourth-generation ceramics which show the lowest wear rate. These have considerably reduced the risk of head fracture compared to previous generations; however, the risk of insert rupture persists with rates similar to those of third generation ceramics. These ceramic fractures require complex revision surgery, which brings complications, exposing patients to the risk of third-body wear and tear related to persistent post-surgical debris. They are frequently due to an incorrect assembly of the ceramic causing intraoperative or early postoperative rupture. To fix this, manufacturers have developed pre-assembled cups in the factory. The Dynacup One C cup developed by Corin® corresponds to the pre-assembled version of the Dynacup cup, making it possible to eliminate the risk of anomaly during intraoperative assembly linked to the human factor and to offer patients with very small cups an adapted ceramic implant. A single study with a small sample compared the two implants (pre-assembled version [vs] modular version) clinically, radiologically and functionally without showing any significant difference. The lack of data in the literature comparing these two implants motivated us to conduct a randomized comparative study on a large sample of patients.
In the postoperative period of a total knee arthroplasty, subjects present limitations of articular amplitudes, swelling, pain and functional limitations. Functional rehabilitation is unanimously recommended, including the use of cryotherapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the methods of application of cryotherapy. Thus the objective of the study is to compare 2 cryotherapy techniques associated with a classic rehabilitation on the improvement of mobility, swelling, pain and functional parameters. The 2 cryotherapies were a compressive cryotherapy and a so-called classic cryotherapy by cold pack.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.
To examine the effects of temporomandibular joint mobilization and exercises added to the conventional physiotherapy program on posture, functionality and muscular endurance in individuals with chronic neck pain.
The study's objective is to evaluate the efficacy of implemented Virtual Reality therapy for patients who have undergone lower limb arthroplasty and are in inpatient rehabilitation. The study aim to examine its influence on reducing anxiety levels, mitigating depressive symptoms, enhancing motivation for elderly patients to participate in physiotherapy, and improving their overall functional state and fall risk.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with arthropathy. Arthropathy may require periarticular corticosteroid injection therapy. This observational study examines efficacy, and safety of steroid injections in SCD patients. Data collection includes patient's gender, age, race, smoking history, alcohol intake, analgesic use, pain score, sleep quality, limb joint injections, post-injection analgesia, and post-injection complication. Pain is measured using numeric pain scale. Sleep quality is measured using Likert scale.
The goal of this Randomized, Double-Blind, Clinical Trial is to investigate the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on postural stability, muscle strength, muscular endurance, mandibular functions and proprioception in sedentary individuals aged 18-45 years with head forward posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular Malalignment). The main questions it aims to answer are: • Do Scapulothoracic exercises given in addition to cervical posture exercises have an effect on postural stability, proprioception, muscle strength, muscular endurance and mandibular functions in individuals with Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular malalignment? Researchers will compare conventional neck exercises (control group) and scapulothoracic exercises applied in addition to conventional neck exercises (treatment group) to see the effects of scapulothoracic exercises on the neck and jaw area.
This is a randomized controlled, multicenter study. According to the inclusion criteria, volunteers were recruited from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. After signing the informed consent, the subjects were assigned to the experimental group and the control group through the central randomization system. The researchers will complete the total hip arthroplasty for patients in the experimental group with the assistance of surgical robotic system. The patients in the control group do not use the surgical robotic system. The proportion of acetabular abduction angle and anteversion angle in the lewinnek safe area is the primary outcome measurement. The operation time, WOMAC score, Harris score, SF-36 and dislocation rate are the secondary outcome measurements. The incidence of complications, devices and other adverse events were recorded.
