Filter by:Physical therapy and rehabilitation may improve low back pain and quality of life after lumbar disc herniation. But there is not any agreement of its optimal start time, and rehabilitative methods. This study evaluates the effects of early and late rehabilitation to the low back pain and quality of life following unilateral microdiscectomy.
Our study aims at investigating short and long-term outcomes following surgery for subaxial spine injuries in the elderly (octogenarian) population.
Laparoscopic gynecological surgery causes postoperative pain.The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of ultrasound (US)-guided oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OSTAP) on 24-hour total analgesic consumption with transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (TQLB).
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of muscle energy technique versus Maitland's mobilization on shoulder pain and disability after neck dissection surgeries.
This study will compare patient reported outcomes (PROs) and patient satisfaction scores of patients seen at virtual phone visits with patients seen at in-person visits for post-operative follow up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months at a sports medicine clinic. This study will determine if there is a difference in PROs and satisfaction scores between these two groups of patients. The investigators hypothesize patients who are seen during a virtual phone visit will report different PRO and patient satisfaction scores compared to patients who are seen during an in-person visit for post-operative follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6-months.
Comparing the growth of intra-operative tissue cultures of Cutibacterium Acnes after primary shoulder replacement when using a no-prep control group versus antimicrobial wound gel versus betadine applied to the skin layer after the skin incision has been made. Reducing the bacteria present in the deep tissues at the end of the surgery may prevent infections from developing in the future.
Aim: This randomized controlled trial study aimed to evaluate the effect of SMS use on compliance with postoperative breathing and coughing exercises and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer surgery. Material and methods: In the study, 62 patients who underwent lobectomy in a university hospital's thoracic surgery clinic between 01.02.2022 and 03.04.2023. The intervention group was chosen to be the group that received SMS messages.
Patients' outcome was studied after surgery for renal cell carcinoma. The primary outcome was overall survival and desease free survival. Secondary outcame was complications to surgery.
Background: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and a double-looped semitendinosus gracilis (hamstring group) graft are commonly used for ACL reconstruction. Short-term and mid-term studies show little to no significant difference between the two groups, and there are a few long term studies to compare results between the two grafts. Purpose: To compare the results after using either BPTB grafts or hamstring grafts 18 years after ACL reconstruction. Study design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence II. Methods: 114 patients with ACL rupture between 2001 and 2004 were randomized to reconstruction with either BPTB graft or a hamstring graft. Patients were operated at four major hospitals. The 18-year follow-up evaluation included isokinetic testing of muscle strength, patient-reported outcome measures, clinical knee examination and an assessment of radiological osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Hypothesis:Hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the long-term outcome between the two groups, as well hypothesis of no difference in patients with prosthesis after ACL reconstruction, arthrosis difference in operated knees and the rate of graft failure between the two groups. Previous follow-up studies showed a significant difference in total flexion work between the two groups, so detecting a persistent difference between the groups will be point of interest.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare pain management in neonates and infants under 3 years of age undergoing cardiac surgery with use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients will be randomized to either continuous morphine IV (standard) of intermittent paracetamol IV (intervention). The investigators' hypothesis is that intermittent IV paracetamol is effective as the primary analgesic drug in post-cardiac surgery patients up to 3 years of age and that the use of IV paracetamol will reduce overall morphine requirements.
