Filter by:Prospective study to analyse pain reduction with two types of canulae and two types of placements for lumbar medial branch radiofrequency denervation.
Self-administered questionnaire survey to determine the presence or absence of joint pain during bevacizumab treatment for lung, ovarian, colorectal cancers. The principal end-point is the frequency of arthralgia after 6 months of treatment with Bevacizumab.
The aim of this cluster randomized controlled trial is to improve the number of effectively referred patients with IRD to the rheumatology outpatient clinic with either use of validated referral pro formas or triage of IRD by specialists in a primary care setting compared to usual care. In addition, the investigators want to provide tools for the general practitioner to recognise IRD and improve early referral of patients with IRD, and a cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed to evaluate the decreasing effect on health-care cost.
This study is in response to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) call to all manufacturers with 510(k) clearance for metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) devices to conduct postmarket surveillance studies. MicroPort has various acetabular shells, acetabular liners, fixation screws, femoral heads, femoral stems, modular necks, and proximal bodies currently cleared for MoM indications. Together these components comprise the Wright Medical Technology (WMT) MoM THA System. The primary objective of the study is to determine the incidence of adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) in each THA implanted with the WMT MoM THA System overall and to create cross-sectional epochs of ≤ 8 years and > 8 years, since implantation.
A gap of knowledge exists on the understanding of the acute effects of stabilization exercises on pain, disability and physical performance when applied after radiofrequency denervation. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to show the effects of stabilization exercises when started in acute period and also reduce the frequency of recurrence low back pain of patients with FJS after radiofrequency denervation.
Low back pain is a major contributor to the chronic pain burden in the community. Although there are numerous pain generators in the spine, lumbar facet joints are one of the most common sources of pain. A variety of measures such as physiotherapy, oral analgesics and minimally invasive injections are used to treat lumbar facet joint pain. Facet joint steroid injections and radiofrequency denervations of the facet joint are the most commonly performed minimally invasive pain procedures for lumbar facet joint pain. Radiofrequency denervation is carried out by thermal lesioning of the medial branches that supply the facet joints. Conventionally two medial branches have been shown to innervate one facet joint and based on this, the norm is to lesion two nerves to denervate one facet joint. However, there is some variation in the nerve supply which may account for failure or false negative results of the diagnostic blocks. The aim of the present study is to explore the feasibility of sensory mapping, thereby referral pattern of the lumbar medial branches using suprathreshold stimulation and to correlate the referral patterns with painful areas in the back and leg. It will also test if the present method of lesioning two nerves to denervate one facet joint is appropriate.
This is a randomized clinical trial in healthy volunteers. 12 volunteers will have suture-method catheters placed in the adductor canal of each leg using the long-axis plane and short-axis plane technique. The investigators will inject LA in both catheters to confirm correct position. Following return of cold sensation the catheter is then displaced intentionally. The orifice is identified by injection of isotonic saline to ensure a proper displacement (spread outside of the adductor canal) and the distance from the delivery orifice of the catheter to the adductor canal is noted. A second investigator will assess distance from the LA delivery orifice of the catheter to the adductor canal using hydrodissection with isotonic saline to pinpoint the delivery orifice and subsequently reposition the catheter to obtain LA spread within the adductor canal. Successful repositioning is defined as a combination of LA spread within the adductor canal and loss of cold sensation on the medial part of the lower leg.
This study evaluates the location, frequency and duration of secondary site pain relating to immobilization in a CAM walker boot.
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a proprietary nutritional supplement that contains Krill Oil (KO), astaxanthin (AX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to reduce pain and discomfort in participants, compared to an inert placebo (palm oil) control and to a positive control (glucosamine-chondroitin). The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of KO, AX, and HA will benefit participants with joint pain.
Significant Aromatase Inhibitor-associated toxicity, affects as many as 50% of patients with breast cancer leading to early discontinuation of this life-saving cancer treatment. No effective pharmacologic therapy has yet been identified for management of these symptoms, as many patients do not experience relief of symptoms with analgesic therapy. Vitamin B12, whether as injection or oral forms, has been used as a naturopathic product to provide relief for joint pain caused by arthritis. This effect has not been studied in the setting of Aromatase Inhibitor-Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms (AIMSS).
