Filter by:The purpose of this prospective study is to see the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip. The study is based on the hypothesis that the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip is similar to that of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. This study is also based on a hypothesis that hip joint capsule stretching exercise will result in pain relief, recovery of hip range of motion in months.
The study investigates prospectively the cost-savings related to a one-stage bursectomy (debridement, drainage and closure at the same time) versus two-stage bursectomy (debridement, left open and closure at a second time) of severe bursitis among hospitalized patients for surgical treatment of septic bursitis. We suppose that the one-stage bursectomy reveals similar recurrence rates but is associated with a significant shortening of hospital stay, consumption of resources and increased patient satisfaction.
The adhesive capsulitis is a disease of the shoulder characterized by pain and limitation of movement amplitude. It is defined as for etiology, having discordant theories that related it to an inflammatory condition or to an algoneurodystrophy process. There is not yet a consensus about the best option of treatment. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatories have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, where the mechanism of action is the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. The antidepressants have been increasingly used in the control of chronic pain and the major action mechanism to have the analgesic effect seems to be based on inhibition of neurotransmitters reuptake noradrenaline and/or serotonin) in nerve cell endings. Literature studies associate the practice of the nerve suprascapular blockade with anaesthetics to good results of clinical improvement of the pain, however, so far, no clinical studies comparing the efficacy of the non-steroidal antiinflammatories or tricyclic antidepressants to nervous blockage were registered in the acute treatment of adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare different treatment programs for frozen shoulder by evaluating changes in pain scale and shoulder range of motion(ROM) before and after treatment. The investigators define frozen shoulder as shoulder pain with ROM limitation,shoulder arthrography demonstration of at least two of the following criteria:(1)reduced joint volume under 10ml; (2)irregular capsular margin;(3)diminished or absent axillary recess. Afer define diagnosis of frozen shoulder ,patients are randomly assigned to different Subgroups for different treatment programs.Each subgroup consists of ten patients. Each treatment program performed for 6 consecutive courses with each course consists of 6 days.Total 36 treatment days. The treatment programs and grouping as follow: Group 1:Physical modalities + therapeutic exercise Group 2:Physical modalities + therapeutic exercise+ intra-articular injection of steroid Gouup 3:Therapeutic exercise Before treatment,after each consecutive course (6days) of treatment,and at the end of treatment program, the investigators evaluate the range of motion and muscle strength of shoulder flexion,external rotation,abduction and internal rotation. Severity of shoulder pain also evaluated by pain scale before and after treatment program. The ROM before and after treatment program is compared by paired t-test.The ROM change before and after treatment in different groups compared by analysis of variance(ANOVA). The ROM change after consecutive treatment courses(6 days) are compared by multivariate ANOVA.Pain scale before and after treatment is compared by paired t-test.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of methylprednisolone infiltration in anserine bursitis treatment
A Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of MRX-7EAT Etodolac-Lidocaine Topical Patch in the Treatment of Tendonitis and Bursitis of the Shoulder.
Background: Few studies have examined the predictors of the clinical course of subjects with frozen shoulder syndrome or explained the persistence of symptoms after appropriate therapy. Altered shoulder kinematics may predispose subjects to subacromial impingement, rotator cuff tendonitis, altered shoulder joint forces, and possible degenerative changes. Subsequently, a more difficult and chronic course of frozen shoulder syndrome may develop. Objective: The purposes of this study are: (1) to develop a prediction method for determining altered shoulder kinematics and associated muscular activities which are associated with the chronicity of frozen shoulder dysfunction, and (2) to validate this prediction method and analyze the impact of the method on clinical behavior. Design: For the first year, a prospective study will be conducted to develop a prediction method that will identify impaired shoulder kinematics associated with the degree of symptom-related functional disability in patients with frozen shoulder syndrome. For the second and third years, validation of the proposed prediction method will determine whether altered shoulder kinematics and associated muscular activities subject to intervention meet the prediction criteria and demonstrate improvement in their follow-up, which will be shown to improve decision making in clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular steroid injection, sodium hyaluronate injection, a combination of the two, and placebo in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the use of an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide during the physical therapy for patients suffering from frozen shoulder (adhesive shoulder capsulitis) results in a gain in shoulder amplitude (Constant Score) and less pain as compared to patients undergoing physical therapy without this treatment.
The specific aim of this proposed pilot study is to compare two standardized processes (paper and electronic) to deliver a customized MedlinePlus health information prescription.
