NCT ID: NCT04177537 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Real-World Experience of Athletes Treated With SAM

Start date: October 1, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is an FDA-approved bio regenerative technology, applied with a wearable device (SAM, Zetroz Systems LLC) for daily use. The treatment provides long-duration ultrasound for approximately four hours. This report included a retrospective convenience sample of 6 athletes from one sports medicine and rehabilitation facility. The objective of this report is to examine the real-world outcome data on symptoms improvement and return to function using Sam. It was hypothesized that LICUS stimulation, in conjunction with traditional therapies, will accelerate the healing process of musculoskeletal tissue leading to a reduction in pain, increase functionality, and a higher probability of returning to work and sports-related activities. The sample included athletes with sports-related musculoskeletal injuries. Demographics, injury history, treatment history, and clinical outcomes data were retrospectively collected for athletes who were treated with SAM in conjunction with traditional therapies. Clinical results showed a benefit from the treatment with a decrease in pain (100%), and 3 out of 6 athletes were able to return to work or sports (50%). Overall the study shows that Sam accelerates the healing of soft tissue leading to a decrease in both acute and chronic pain.

Participants were 110 undergraduate students enrolled in two groups of this randomized controlled multicentre study: a control group (traditional learning) and experimental group (ECOFISIO mobile application). All participants were assessed both theoretically and by means of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) exams.

NCT ID: NCT04134741 Completed - Back Pain Clinical Trials

Assessment of Effectiveness of Neuromuscular Training in Treatment of Lumbar Spine in Football Players

Start date: January 3, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project aims to assess the effectiveness of neuromuscular training according to the concept of Kinetic Control (KC) in prevention and treatment of lumbar spine and knee pain and in reduction of risk of injury in female football players. The study was designed as single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and conducted on a group of 18 female football players from University Club of the Academic Sports Association of Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska. Participants were randomly divided into two 9-person groups: A - used standard training and neuromuscular training (Kinetic Control) and B - used only standard training. Main hypothesis: The application of neuromuscular therapy (KC) reduces the risk of injuries and pain of the lumbar spine and the knee and improves the static and dynamic balance. Research questions: 1. Will the application of the KC training reduce the risk and frequency of spine and knee injuries in females football players? 2. Will the KC training lead to reduction of the intensity of lumbar spine and knee pain? 3. Will the application of the KC training lead to increase in the torque strength of knee flexors and extensors and improved stability of the knee? 4. Will the application of the neuromuscular training (KC) lead to reduction of the disability level and improved functional level?

NCT ID: NCT04129827 Completed - ACL Injury Clinical Trials

Meniscal Lesions in Return to Sport After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

LCA-40
Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Most athletes who undergo Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) plan to return to some level of sporting (RTS) activity. However, rates of return to pre-injury sport are often less than might be expected and many factors influence whether individuals return to sport after this surgery. This study aims to better understand the role of meniscal lesions in RTS and to assess the advantage of the integrated evaluation with clinical, biomechanical and psychological tests to decide the correct RTS timing in non-professional athletes undergoing ACLR.
