Filter by:This study aims to establish the incidence of residual paralysis in patients following administration of a mini- dose of atracurium (less than ED95 i.e. <0.23mg/kg or <15 mg in most patients) during supraglottic airway insertion and correlate it with the duration of time from drug administration to arrival at PACU. The secondary aim is to compare the incidence of residual paralysis in patients who receive full doses of atracurium (per body weight) with those who receive mini-doses.
The purpose of this study is to analyze if trunk training has effects on trunk, upper, lower extremity motor functions in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy. Second purpose is to analyze the relation between trunk control and prematurity, birth weight, upper and lower extremity motor functions in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate differences between ultrasound guided supraclavicular versus retroclavicular brachial plexus blocks: two similar brachial plexus nerve block techniques that differ in their needle trajectory and injection site.
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of autologous bone marrow mononuclear stem cells in patients with cerebral palsy.
1. INTRODUCTION AND MAIN OBJECTIVES The incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis after an inter-block scalénique varies between 30 and 100% in the literature. Its clinical impact is mostly absent and paralysis regresses after the block lifted. When it is suspected, it can be diagnosed by a chest radio, showing an elevation of the dome. The objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis by measuring the thickness diaphragmatic as quantitative assessment of diaphragmatic contraction noninvasive ultrasound scan and feasibility of this measure in SSPI unit (post-interventional monitoring unit) with scan (ultrasound) in the usual way used for the block under ultrasound scan. 2. STUDY TYPE Prospective, single-center clinical study routine care involving 50 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo surgical procedures in the area of the shoulder or arm for which locoregional analgesia inter-block type scalénique or supraclavicular ultrasound scan is indicated below. 3. START OF THE STUDY February 2014 with an expected duration of six months.
This is a protocol to govern the prospective trial of facial nerve monitoring in patients undergoing parotidectomy with an eye towards interpreting if the facial nerve monitor provides useful information to operating surgeons and if the information provided by the facial nerve monitor can predict degrees of postoperative facial nerve paresis. Additionally, the study will determine if performing daily facial rehabilitation exercises provides a benefit in reducing time to recovery of temporary post-parotidectomy paresis.
This study is considered a pilot exploratory study. Intervention, prospective, double-armed, randomized, placebo-control clinical trial. The therapeutic effect of oral Magnesium sulfate on spasticity and constipation will be studied.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose (MTD) within the specified dosing range) of single intravenous (IV) infusion of C2N-8E12 in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
The objective of the research is to determine whether the MyotonPRO has a valid and reliable application in facial, head and neck surgery. In addition, the study aims to compare this new technology with current electromyography.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mirror therapy combined with upper extremity strengthening training on upper extremity function in children with unilateral spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP): a single blind randomized controlled trial. In the literature, there was no randomized controlled trial. According to literature, there are few studies that investigate the effects of mirror therapy in children with CP. But there is no randomized controlled trial, explore the effects of mirror therapy combined with upper extremity strength training on upper extremity functions in unilateral spastic CP. Hypothesis of this study is that mirror therapy combined with strength training improves upper extremity function and muscle strength in unilateral spastic CP.
