Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Botulinum Toxin to Fasciotomy in Treatment of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome
We will investigate the feasibility of a simple outpatient one time injection regimen for the treatment of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS). We think botulinum toxin injections will be a potentially cost-effective, low-risk alternative to surgery in reducing pain and returning patients to full activity.
The study will be a prospective cohort pilot study designed to compare Active Duty patients, 18 years of age or older, with Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) undergoing two different treatment interventions. The first arm will be patients receiving investigational botulinum toxin injections. The second arm will be patients who undergo the standard of care surgical fasciotomy. Both arms will be evaluated for pain relief with the universal pain scale and lower extremity functional index (LEFI) surveys at pre-treatment and again at one, three, and six months post-treatment. Clinical data that will be analyzed for research purposes in both groups include age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, time to diagnosis, minutes of exercise prior to onset of symptoms, minutes of rest before relief of symptoms, LEFI and pain on the Universal Pain Assessment Tool. ;
