Filter by:The investigators would like to examine the role of some relevant biopsychosocial factors in the development of persistent CRPS. According to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) [43], the outcomes will belong to one of the three following components: - Body structures and functions (pain, CRPS severity score (CSS)), - Activities (disability) - Participation (return to work, quality of life). The primary aim is to assess predicting factors for chronification. The secondary aims are: - to evaluate if it is possible to classify acute complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) patients into subgroups according to their risk of chronification. - to document the course of the disease. The main evaluation criteria will be to determine the impact of the different clinical and non-clinical variables on the course of the CRPS and on the aforementioned outcomes then, which will use as endpoints. - Primary endpoint: disability - Secondary endpoints: participation-QoL, return to work, pain, CRPS severity score.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of myofascial release techniques applied on the superficial anterior myofascial chain of the body on pain, functional status, posture, biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of myofascial tissues in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. There will be two groups in this study. Each group will consist of 30 patients aged 25-50 years with patellofemoral pain syndrome. A total of 60 participants will take part in the study. Conventional physiotherapy will be applied to the control group, while myofascial release techniques will be applied to the experimental group in addition to conventional physiotherapy. Treatment programs will be applied to both groups 2 days a week for 6 weeks. Postural problems that can be seen in the superficial anterior myofascial chain line will be evaluated. These problems: forward head, q-angle, genu varum, genu valgum, foot postural problems and pelvic tilt. In addition to all these assessments, knee pain, lower extremity functionality and biomechanical properties of the anterior myofascial tissue will be evaluated.
Compare efficiency between repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and dry needling in patient with upper trapezius myofascial pain syndrome.
In this study, the investigators planned to compare local anesthetic injection added to stretching exercise, ozone injection treatment added to stretching exercise, and only stretching exercise in patients with upper trapezius muscle myofascial pain syndrome.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of Kinesio taping on myofascial pain syndrome post neck dissection surgery.
A double blinded clinical controlled trial will be performed on individuals with patello femoral pain syndrome in which Trigger Point Dry Needling will be given to experimental group while Sham Needling will be given to the control group, targeting the trigger points present in the Quadriceps of affected individuals assessing the pain,functional disability and range of motion of the affected individuals.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of routine physical therapy with and without core stability exercises on pain and range of motion, in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. The spine, abdominal region, pelvis, hips, and proximal lower extremities, are defined as the core of the body. The effects of core muscle strengthening have been proven as an effective method of management in various cases. The knee is the frequently injured joint in core instability with the decreased hip strength. Deficiency in the control of the neuromuscular system of the body's trunk or "core" may affect the stability of the lower extremity, which can lead to injury in the tibiofemoral or patellofemoral joints.
Our study aims to lay the basis for a predictive modeling service for postoperative complications and prolonged hospital stay in patients suffering from psychiatric diseases undergoing colorectal surgery. Furthermore, we aim to investigate the impact of preoperative Risk factors, psychiatric and psychosomatic diseases on the outcomes of colorectal surgery and the complications after colorectal surgeries like anastomosis insufficiency via predictive modeling techniques The service mentioned above will be publicly available as a web-based application
Post-/long-COVID occurs in patients with severe, moderate, and even mild courses. The symptomatology is multi-layered and complex. Patients with mild and moderate courses and especially younger patients are not optimally integrated into one of the existing care structures of COVID outpatient clinics and regular primary care. The diagnosis of post-/long-COVID and a consequent targeted treatment are currently partly not ensured. The variability of symptoms and the resulting complexity of diagnosis and treatment also pose a challenge in rural areas. The aim of the project is an evaluation of a program for low-threshold needs identification and treatment planning for a hybrid (personal supporting counselors and digital trainings) post-/long-COVID care. The contents of the present project include an innovative basis outside the existing standard care for the identification of affected persons. This will be done by means of a low-threshold online screening, which can also be carried out by the affected persons themselves. Furthermore, an intensive interdisciplinary assessment linked to medical rehabilitation resulting in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral treatment plan is a core component of the current project. Finally, the implementation of digital trainings which are accompanied by a personal supporting counselor and augmented by continuously available trainings in the form of digital modules aim to provide general recommendation for the future support of post/long-COVID care. The current research project aims to evaluate the feasibility and the practicability of a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and cross-sectoral treatment program consisting of a low-threshold online screening and holistic assessment for PACS. Furthermore, it aims to evaluate digital interventions and the use of so-called personal guides that may help to facilitate the recovery of PACS.
This initial pilot project aims to study the use of FDA-approved 40mg triamcinolone injections in the bladder for the management of interstitial cystitis with or without Hunner's lesions. Intradetrusor triamcinolone injections are already the standard of care for IC patients with Hunner's lesions, but its role in management of IC without Hunner's lesions has yet to be determined. Triamcinolone is a long-acting corticosteroid that acts by inhibiting the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which may contribute to attenuation of inflammation in interstitial cystitis. We will recruit 27 females 18 years of age or older that have been diagnosed with IC/BPS. Patients will undergo a one-time cystoscopy along with the triamcinolone injections for IC management as a part of the research study. Validated questionnaires will be provided before the treatment to quantify symptoms at baseline and after treatment at follow-up visits. Follow up visits will occur in clinic every 4 to 6 weeks, which will continue for a maximum of 1 year. Scores at follow-up visits will be compared to baseline.
