Filter by:The use of evaporative coolants in the management of acute musculoskeletal injury has received increasing attention recently. However, its efficacy compared with conventional cryotherapy in treating injured human subjects remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of evaporative coolants with that of ice packs in the preoperative management of edema and pain in patients with an ankle fracture
In this study, it was aimed to investigating and comparing the postoperative effects of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) in terms of pain, swelling on the cheek, and trismus after mandibular third molar surgery. The study included a total of 27 patients with bilateral impacted mandibular third molar which surgically operated at different times. Patients were evaluated in two randomly separated groups. For the first group; A-PRF and for the second group; L-PRF was applied into the tooth socket. The outcomes variables were; pain, swelling, the number of analgesics taken, and trismus. These variables were also assessed on the basis of; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th days following the operation.
This study compares the effect of two types of suturing techniques in the postoperative swelling and mouth opening after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molar. total wound closure will be performed in one group of participants while partial closure will be performed in the other group.
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of dose regimen of serratiopeptidase (serodase 5 mg) as a prospective, randomized, parallel, double blind Placebo- controlled study.
Fast Track Recovery Arthroplasty Project is supposed to analyse a new medical method to accelerate patient's remobilisation process after total knee endoprostheses. The method, called c-treatment, is a computer-controlled cryotherapy (soothing cooling therapy) at which the device measures temperature at the affected site (the operated knee in the investigators investigation) and optimizes the cooling temperature. The optimized cooling therapy is supposed to reduce swelling and postoperative pain whereby patient's postoperative mobilization can be done earlier leading to a reduction of length of hospitalization. To verify c-treatment's efficiency compared to conventional cryotherapy, patients are split in a test group and a standard group. The standard group is treated following the standard protocol at the Department of Orthopaedics Surgery Graz using cold packs (Fa. Dahlhausen, product code 93.000.00.042). Patient's in the test group receive c-treatment therapy following the study protocol. All patients are instructed to fill in standardized questionnaires to evaluate social scores and pain scores preoperative as well as postoperative. The knee's swelling and range of motion as well as blood parameters monitoring the healing process are measured following the study protocol. The comparison of these parameters between the standard and the test group is supposed to verify c-treatment's efficiency.
Postoperative swelling is one of most common concerns to plastic and oromaxillary surgeons after orthognathic surgery. The purpose of this study is to develop a steroid regimen protocol for minimizing postoperative facial swelling after orthognathic surgery.
This clinical study was designed based on our hypothesis that vitamin D plays an important role in chronic urticaria and that high dose supplementation with vitamin D in subjects with chronic urticaria will improve clinical response. This clinical study will investigate our hypothesis in three Specific Aims: 1. Determine whether high dosing vitamin D supplementation (4000 IU/day) reduces medication usage (primary outcome) and urticaria severity score (secondary outcome) in subjects with chronic urticaria as compared to low dosing (600 IU/day). 2. Determine if high dosing of vitamin D (4000 IU/day) is safe and well-tolerated in subjects with chronic urticaria with or without baseline vitamin D deficiency. 3. Investigate whether there is an association with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, vitamin D receptor mRNA expression, and chronic urticaria severity.
