Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of our study procedures/protocols and to look at the potential effects of chiropractic care on people with metabolic syndrome.
It is hypothesized that significantly more patients would prefer oral decitabine/cedazuridine to subcutaneous (SC) azacitidine (AZA) due to several factors, including improved treatment convenience, the reduced risk of nosocomial infections, and reduced treatment discomfort. However, this hypothesis has not been formally studied in a controlled setting. This study aims to address this evidence gap and evaluate patient, primary caregiver (carer), and clinician treatment preference between oral decitabine/cedazuridine and SC AZA in the treatment of adult patients with International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) intermediate, IPSS intermediate-2, or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or low-blast (LB) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and thereby lend further credibility to the clinical, economic, and patient value of oral decitabine/cedazuridine.
This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) among the Turkish population.
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided versus blinded dry needling for the treatment of piriformis syndrome.
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy of corticosteroid injection and tendon dry needling for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.
Cushing's Syndrome is a rare disease resulting from prolonged exposure to high levels of circulating cortisol. Clinical manifestations are variable but many patients present a metabolic syndrome (abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension). With regard to the liver, experimental data have shown that excess cortisol leads in an increase in lipogenesis and a reduction in the oxidation of fatty acids. This, in association with an accumulation of visceral adipose tissue and deregulation of adipokines, may contribute to the development of hepatic steatosis in animals. However, few data is available in humans with only one study of 50 patients with Cushing's syndrome estimating the prevalence of hepatic steatosis at 20%. NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), is defined as the presence of hepatic steatosis in the absence of secondary causes of intrahepatic fat accumulation. It is a heterogeneous disease ranging from simple liver steatosis, whose prognosis is generally considered to be benign, to inflammation (NASH, Non-Alcoholic Steato-Hepatitis) which may progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The prognosis for NAFLD is mainly related to the severity of hepatic fibrosis. In Cushing's syndrome, normalization of cortisol production is the most effective strategy to improve co-morbidities associated with hypercortisolism. However, some of these complications, especially the metabolic co morbidities, could not be completely reversible and no data is available about resolution of hepatic steatosis.
The purpose of the study is to find out the response of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) to abdominal fat reduction in central obese patients using: application of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (cavitation) on the abdominal region, aerobic exercise and a dietary regimen that will be low in calories (Low Caloric Diet) and low in fermentable oligo-, di-, mono- saccharides and polyols (low-FODMAPs).
A study of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of NNZ-2591 and measures of efficacy in children and adolescents with Prader-Willi Syndrome.
This study was designed as a randomized, control group, experimental study to examine the effect of Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques application on respiratory distress symptom cluster in patients with lung cancer.
Myofascial pain syndrome is a musculoskeletal pain condition that originates from localized, tight areas of skeletal muscle and fascia, called trigger points. Myofascial pain syndrome is the most common cause of musculoskeletal pain and its prevalence in the community is reported to be 12-55%. Patients with myofascial pain syndrome have pain, stiffness, tenderness, burning, and squeezing sensations in the muscles. In treating myofascial pain syndrome, trigger points should be inactivated and normal body mechanics should be corrected as much as possible. Treatment of the trigger point may be the main goal of a physiotherapy rehabilitation program as it can rapidly reduce acute pain. The goal is to control pain, restore limited ROM, and return the muscle to its optimal length and position. One of the treatment methods applied in MAS is kinesio taping. Kinesio Taping is a non-invasive, painless and less time-consuming method with fewer side effects, widely used as a therapeutic tool in various prevention and rehabilitation protocols. It differs from other rigid tapes because it can stretch significantly (130-140% of its original length), reducing mechanical movement limitations and mimicking skin thickness and elasticity. It has been found to be effective in reducing pain and muscle spasm, increasing range of motion, improving local blood and lymph circulation, reducing edema, strengthening weakened muscles, and controlling joint instability and postural alignment. Kinesiological tapes can be applied with different shapes and techniques according to the shape and size of the application area and the purpose of the application. Application techniques can be listed as muscle techniques, functional correlation techniques, fascia correlation techniques, star techniques (circulation / lymphatic correction technique), ligament/tendon correction (ligament) technique, mechanical correction techniques, and neural techniques. Functional correlation technique, which is one of the techniques the investigators will prefer in our study, is just above the area of pain, it lifts the skin, fascia, and soft tissue thanks to the elastic properties of the band, thereby reducing the pressure under the application area, reducing the irritation in the chemical receptors and nociceptors, reducing the lymphatic circulation. It is claimed that it increases blood circulation and helps to remove exudate more effectively, and as a result, it helps to reduce pain. The fascia correlation technique, which is the other technique the investigators would prefer to use in our study, is used to bring the fascial tissue to the desired position. The main goal is to reduce tension and adhesions by making vibration (oscillation) movement between the fascia layers. Another technique the investigators will use in our study is the star technique. This technique is aimed at reducing the pressure on the lymphatic vessels and creating a gap that allows circulation in the tissue. Fan-cut tape is often used. Our study aims to compare the effects of 3 different taping techniques (correction, fascia correction, and star technique) in individuals with Myofascial Pain Syndrome with a trigger point in the trapezius muscle.
