Filter by:The platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a new and potential treatment for patients with kinds of musculoskeletal disorders. Although few studies have showed beneficial effect of PRP for regeneration of peripheral neuropathy in animal study, the associated study in human is rare.
A single-center, prospective, non-randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel carpal tunnel tissue manipulation device in treating symptoms and decreased physical function in subjects previously diagnosed with mild to severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
The objective of the study is to evaluate in patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome resistant to medical treatment, clinical course after percutaneous treatment under ultrasound guidance. 40 patients will be included in the study. The following parameters will be evaluated: patient satisfaction, pain, functional disability, quality of life and time to return to work. The medico-economic aspect will be analyzed.
Carpal Tunnel Release via Two Small Incisions Comparing With via Standard Incision And Under Endoscope.
The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Fascial Manipulation on pain reduction, functional recovery and nerve conduction of patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale (DASH), Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and Electroneuromyography were assessed. The study is blind for the patient and the raters.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of use Alpha lipoic acid before and after surgical release of carpal tunnel syndrome. Controlled Clinical trial.
This study is focused on comparing patients' pain scores on a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the difference in analgesics use post-operatively (with the same prescription defining only the maximum frequency) between lidocaine with epinephrine & bupivacaine with epinephrine as local anesthetics in wide-awake hand surgery. The investigators' hypothesis states that a longer acting local anesthetic agent (bupivacaine) would be able to provide better postoperative pain relief demonstrated by lower pain scores on VAS and less analgesics use (as will be recorded on the patient's log). This will be mainly obvious in the first 24 hours postoperative period when the pain is usually at maximum levels and starts to decline thereafter. If the investigators' hypothesis is true, this may potentially change practices of many hand surgeons towards the routine use of longer acting local anesthetics particularly in wide-awake hand surgery, and perhaps could be extrapolated to other surgical specialties. Further, a reduction in postoperative analgesics use would be of paramount clinical importance, as it would reduce their potential side effects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of intra-operative administration of IV tylenol and/or IV toradol in minimizing post-operative pain for carpal tunnel patients and distal radius fracture patients.
The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of patient outcomes following rehabilitation. This includes functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. It includes measures of general health as well along with activities of daily living and behavioral health aspects. Measures of quality and satisfaction and use of Net Promoter Scores also are included. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of patients and their associated outcomes. This is a unique milestone in rehabilitative care and will act to inform and direct evidence-based approaches and treatment guidelines. Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process—that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use. Subsequent reporting can be risk adjusted to any variable collected which yields robust insights as to idiopathic patient conditions. However, no PHI information will be available.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of combining a wrist orthosis with either ultrasound therapy or paraffin bath therapy in treating carpal tunnel syndrome patients.
