Filter by:Chronic cervicobrachialgia is a public health problem. Epidural injections of corticosteroids and local anesthesics via transforaminal and interlaminar routes both have shown their potential in its treatment. The interlaminar approach offers the advantage of an epidural injection (i.e., direct contact with the nerve root in the epidural space). However, it requires fluoroscopy and can lead to potentially serious complications (compression of the nerve root, spinal cord injury...). The ultrasound-guided injection of corticosteroids via the transforaminal route, which offers the advantage of selectively targeting the symptomatic nerve root, may have the same therapeutic advantages as the interlaminar approach in decreasing unilateral cervicobrachial pain (i.e. a decrease in pain after infiltration) and reduce its risks.The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of transforaminal vs interlaminar cervical corticosteroid injection.
The aim of this observational study is to establish estimation of global lordosis of the cervical spine (from C3 to C7) in patients with cervicobrachial neuralgia.
Study Design: Longitudinal Experimental Study Objective: Analyze the relationship between Upper Limb Neural Tension Test (ULNTT1) and cervico-thoracic spine biomechanics using a new motion-capture spine movement data analyzing model based on Least Square Approximation. Summary of Background Data: ULNTT1 is a test able to determine cervical nerve roots and brachial plexus displacement within their interface structures. No studies were conducted about ULNTT1 and cervico-thoracic spine motion patterns relationship. Methods: 12 subjects with ULNTT1 asymmetry > 10° (AS group) and 11 subjects with ULNTT1 symmetry (S group) at clinical tests will be enrolled for the study. Subjects will be analyzed for ULNTT1 with an electrogoniometer using two parameters, one operator and one patient-dependent. Fine lateral bending cervico-thoracic spine motion patterns will be collected with motion-capturing technique and data will be analyzed with Least Square Approximation tools. Subjects with impairments in cervico-thoracic spine mobility will undergo to correction of those with spinal manipulative therapy. ULNTT1 and spine mobility will be so re-evaluated with same methods.
The purpose of these study is to compare the effectivity of the Median Nerve Neural Mobilization technique to the complete absence of treatment in a group of patients who suffer cervicobrachial pain.
The purpose of these study is to compare the effectivity of the Cervical Lateral Glide physical therapy neural mobilization technique to the complete absence of treatment in a group of patients who suffer cervicobrachial pain.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectivity of Median Nerve Neural Mobilization and oral Ibuprofen in treating patients who suffer cervicobrachial pain
This is a prospective clinical study to assess the performance of the prosthesis according to a composite success criterion. The clinical and functional results and the patient's quality of life up to 24 months of follow-up will also be recorded. Granvia-c is a device NOT FDA-approved and NOT under investigation in the USA.
Several studies have previously examined the use of botulinum toxin serotype A for myofascial pain of the neck and shoulders (cervicobrachial syndrome). These studies have suffered from: 1. inclusion of confounding conditions in the proband group, and 2. inability to identify predictors of response. This study attempts to define the characteristics of responders to botulinum serotype A for myofascial pain of the neck and shoulders (cervicobrachial syndrome).
