Filter by:The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of a neuromuscular exercise program on strength, balance, sleep quality and functionality in individuals with Patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The aim of this trial is to determine the potential effects and mechanisms of cannabinoid-induced pain relief in complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Multiple psychophysical approaches will be conducted in conjunction with psychological and inflammatory marker testing to determine if and how cannabinoids produce stabilized improvement in CRPS-related pain and comorbidities. The trial consisted of a pre-treatment screening period, six-week treatment period and a two-week follow-up.
This study is a quasi experimental and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of eccentric exercises on gait parameters in patellofemoral pain syndrome: a quasi - experimental study
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) in individuals diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain syndrome and treated with medication. The study was organized as a randomized controlled trial. The sample size is 30 patients suffering from chronic pelvic pain syndrome.
This study is planned to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of OM-89 in Patients with Recurrent Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS)
Recurrent or chronic abdominal pain is one of the common gastrointestinal problems in children. While most children do not have organic origins (so called functional abdominal pain disorders; FAPDs), the symptoms can nevertheless be severe enough to impair the patient's quality of life, growth, and development. To help rule out organic disorders and diagnose this condition, some individuals underwent multiple invasive and costly studies. Generally, the diagnosis of FAPDs is based on clinical symptoms and criteria, it can be divided into irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), abdominal migraine, functional abdominal pain (FAP) and functional dyspepsia (FD). Approximately 14% of children globally, between the ages of 4 and 18, experience functional abdominal pain issues8. In Thailand, the prevalence of FAPDs among adolescents (mean age of 16 years) was 5.3%, functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome were found to be the most prevalent subtypes. The pathogenesis of FAPDs is believed to result from disruptions in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, which may happen early in life or throughout. Hence, several studies, specifically in western countries, reported the role of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), in modulating abdominal symptoms in children with FAPDs. It is widely known that the diversity of gut microbiota depends on multiple factors including ethnicity, mode of delivery, dietary and environmental factors. However, the studies on the use of probiotics in pediatric patients with FAPDs have been mainly conducted in western countries. Since there are limited studies on the effectiveness of probiotics in Asian children with FAPDs, the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of probiotics, LGG, in the treatment of children who suffered from FAPDs. The secondary objectives are to measure daily pain score in children with and without FAPDs, to evaluate and compare the diversity of fecal microbiota in children with FAPDs and those without FAPDs, and to compare the diversity of fecal microbiota between children with FAPDs who took probiotics and those who did not.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a severe pain condition affecting 3-8 million people in the United States lacking treatments that work. Emotional suffering is common in IC/BPS and known to make physical symptoms worse, and studies show patient sub-groups respond differently to treatment. Individuals with IC/BPS have distinct subgroups, or "phenotypes," largely characterized by the distribution of pain throughout the body. Supported by our preliminary evidence, the overall goal of this project is to assess how IC/BPS phenotype may affect response to two different therapies often given without regard to patient phenotype, pelvic floor physical therapy (PT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for IC/BPS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of V117957 in subjects with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, compared to placebo.
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is characterized by lateral hip pain, pain radiating to the lateral leg, tenderness and rotation around the greater trochanter, and pain with specific activities such as abduction or adduction. GTPS is primarily diagnosed clinically. Conservative treatment for GTPS includes activity modification, physiotherapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local corticosteroids, and platelet-rich plasma injections. Particularly, regional muscle sensitivity, such as in the gluteus maximus, is prominent. In recent years, dry needling therapy, which has gained popularity and increased research attention, has become an alternative treatment option, especially if the underlying cause is myofascial pain syndrome or deeper issues like piriformis syndrome. The provided text discusses dry needling as a treatment for various neuromusculoskeletal pain conditions, emphasizing its use as a minimally invasive procedure that involves applying filiform needles to the relevant muscle tissue without the administration of pharmacological drugs. The literature suggests that dry needling therapy has the ability to induce biochemical, biomechanical, endocrinological, and neurovascular changes associated with the reduction of pain and disability in individuals. However, the optimal treatment dosage has not yet been determined, and there is inconsistency in the literature regarding the number of needles to be inserted and the duration of needle retention. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of dry needling are often designed to compare or add it to other injection therapies. Additionally, there is a limited number of studies conducted with real-time imaging. In the planned study, the use of ultrasound-guided dry needling aims to provide a sham application opportunity, where the patient is blinded to the nature of the procedure, allowing for a meaningful investigation of efficacy. This aspect of the study is expected to contribute significantly to the literature.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of applying Transcranial direct current stimulation on pain levels and function, quality of life, muscle strength and range of motion in individuals with subacromial pain syndrome.
