Filter by:This study aim to compare the efficacy of guteal muscle injection and subacromial ultrasound guided injection to treat frozen shoulder. Firstly, in order to calculate the sample size correctly, we start the preliminary study. Besides, in order to propose clinical new technology which combines the advantages of the two therapies, improve the efficacy ratio of frozen shoulder therapy, and provide a frozen shoulder treatment plan according to health economics.
This study is a prospective, case-control observational trial. The investigators will compare the Megadose Shinbaro Pharmacopuncture group to the control group to analyze the effectiveness of shoulder Megadose Shinbaro Pharmacopuncture.
To report the outcomes of a series of patients with recurrent anterior and/or posterior shoulder instability who underwent surgical repair of the affected labrum using the SureLock all-suture anchor.
This investigation is a prospective, multi-center clinical investigation. It is anticipated that a total of one hundred (100) subjects will be enrolled at approximately 5-10 sites. The clinical investigation has been designed to follow the surgeon's standard of care for joint arthroplasty patients, which entails clinical evaluation on a regular ongoing basis, or as needed should the patient become symptomatic in the treated joint.
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million adults in the United States and is estimated to cost the nation more than $560 billion dollars each year. Regular physical activity is widely recognized as essential for maintaining health for all individuals, but is particularly important for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) as physical activity can prevent further deconditioning and may even improve pain outcomes. Previous literature has shown that certain categories of partner behaviors (e.g., solicitous, punishing, distracting) are associated with different health outcomes for ICPs, and recently researchers have begun examining partner behaviors through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, specifically looking at the effects of autonomy support from a spouse on physical activity among ICPs. Partner autonomy support has been positively associated with physical activity levels and better health outcomes, but no studies to date have explored what factors predict whether or not a partner will use an autonomy supportive interpersonal style (as opposed to a controlling interpersonal style) with the ICP. Similarly, more research is needed on the mechanisms by which autonomy support promotes positive outcomes for ICPs. Though receiving autonomy support has been linked to increased physical activity and improved mental health, no studies have yet tested the full Self-Determination Theory model as one possible explanation of the link between this form of partner support and desirable health outcomes. In particular, it is important to understand the ICP's perspective on how partner autonomy support influences need satisfaction and autonomous motivation as possible mediators between autonomy support and ICP physical activity. Furthermore, little research has explored other need supportive behaviors or their need frustrating counterparts. The current study will not only provide greater understanding of autonomy support, but will also expand the literature regarding these other need supportive and need thwarting behaviors. Lastly, given the value of need supportive behaviors from one's partner, it is essential to evaluate how partner perceptions of those need supportive behaviors align with ICP's perceptions of those behaviors. Any need support a partner provides is likely moderated by the ICP's perception of that support.
Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) constitutes the analgesic criterion standard for shoulder surgery. However, it is associated with a high incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis (HDP) that may not be tolerated by patients with chronic pulmonary disease. Continuous ISBs have not avoided this complication with the reported and regularly used local anesthetic dilutions (i.e. 0.125% bupivacaine, 0.25% ropivacaine, etc). This observational study will register the incidence of HDP in continuous interscalene block (CISB) using a very diluted solution of levobupivacaine (0.04%) in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The main objective of this study is to determine the frequency of HDP the first postoperative day before patient discharge(POD).
A post market, non-randomized, multi-center, open-label,clinical study using survivorship to study the safety and efficacy of the Integra® TITAN™ Total Shoulder System 1.0 (TAS) when used for total shoulder arthroplasty.
StimRouter Neuromodulation System includes an implanted lead which provides peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic pain. Post-stroke shoulder pain patients will be the focus of this study. After meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria, approximately 50 enrolled patients will participate in the study through 6 months of follow-up. Various measures will be used to assess patient response to use of the device.
Preliminary evaluations have been completed and resulted in patients and therapist indicating positive outcomes through increased patient engagement, asynchronous communications (i.e. messaging) between therapists and patients, and objective assessment and monitoring of exercises performed by the patients. The investigator's hypothesis is that patients using the Wellclub device and application in addition to in-clinic physical therapy will be more compliant with their home exercise programs and have the same or better functional outcomes than patients with similar conditions who use in-clinic care only.
The specific aim of this prospective study is to determine whether local anesthetics prior to subacromial steroid injections reduce pain and consequently if they are cost-effective in the treatment for shoulder pathology.
