NCT ID: NCT05742048 Enrolling by invitation - Trauma Clinical Trials

Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound for Primary Survey of Traumatic Long Bone Fractures

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Long bone fractures are among the most traumatic patients seen in emergency departments. Using ultrasound to diagnose long bone fractures can reduce the risk of complications occurring During the primary and secondary survey. The diagnosis of long bone fractures is traditionally accomplished through plain radiographs taken at perpendicular angles to each other. Because of the resources required for radiographic capability, X-ray can be inaccessible in rural or remote areas, or in hospital during break time, In settings where a radiography technologist is not present on-site or in patient have conditions do for him limitations movement Using ultrasound machines to do patient examination can be performed earlier of assessment, and at the bedside, reducing diagnostic delays and time to initiation of management. Additional Advantages of Ultrasound include its simplicity, portability, repeatability, and its lack of ionizing radiation. Using ultrasound technology don't need equipment for lead protectors on health care providers, as well as the harmful effects to patients of ionizing radiation and safe to use with pregnant patients in the first and second trimester. However, this technique can be impractical because the training necessary for the use of this technology Diagnosis of long bone fractures in primary assessment can decrease risk of complications such as shock, bleeding, swelling, embolism compartment syndrome, vascular or neurological damage and patient's transposition related change shape and type of a fracture. that complications can lead to life-threatening conditions up to death specifically in geriatric and paediatric Patients

NCT ID: NCT05673655 Enrolling by invitation - Myofacial Pain Clinical Trials

Intraoral Injection of Trigger Points by Botox

Start date: December 25, 2022
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Patients with orofacial pain lasting at least 3 months. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups according to the treatment method: group I (intraoral injection) and group II (transcutaneous injection) where each patient injected Botox at each trigger point according to the treatment group by the same operator. Patients will be examined by a blinded investigator at pre- and post-injections at the following intervals: during diagnosis, 1 week, 4, and 6 weeks post-injection. The patients will be assessed using a pain score measured on a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary outcome assessed will be measuring the quality of life in an Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire (OHIP-14).

NCT ID: NCT05640154 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Health-Related Behavior

HPL Program for Geriatric Patients' at Risk for Stroke

Start date: December 16, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stroke is a highest reason of illness and death all over world. In 2017, stroke was the second greatest recurrent reason of mortality, after ischemic cardiac illness, and produced 6.2 million mortality all over world. The load of stroke does not only lie in the great mortality but the great morbidity also results in up to 50% of survivors being chronically disabled. Thus stroke is a disease of huge public health importance with economic and social consequences.

NCT ID: NCT05605886 Enrolling by invitation - Botulinum Toxin Clinical Trials

Botulinum Toxin A in Patients With Myofascial Pain Syndrome With and Without Zinc Supplementation

Start date: May 20, 2022
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Research question: Dose the use of oral zinc supplement improve the effects of botulinum toxins injection in patients with myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome? Statement of the problem: MPDS Patients treated with botulinum toxin A injection usually suffers from return of the symptoms which requires successive injections almost every (3-4M) Rationale for conducting the research: The concept of adding the zinc supplementation prior to BTXA injection is contributed to the fact that botulinum toxin is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease; therefore, every botulinum toxin molecule must be accompanied with a zinc molecule to effectively paralyze a muscle. However, commercially available BTXA preparations exclude zinc from their preparations, and BTX clinical efficiency and duration varies according to the zinc levels of the patient. Although the BTX effect could remain for several months, its zinc-dependent proteolytic activity befalls within hours of administration before the toxins are degraded in the tissues. Therefore, for achieving better results from BTX, the recipients should have adequate zinc levels at the time of administration. Therefore, oral zinc supplement intake prior to BTXA injection may enhance its clinical efficiency and duration. botulinum neurotoxins are the most potent toxins known. They bind to nerve cells, penetrate the cytosol and block neurotransmitter release. Comparison of their predicted amino acid sequences reveals a highly conserved segment that contains the HExxH zinc binding motif of metalloendo peptidases. The metal content of tetanus toxin was then measured and it was found that one atom of zinc is bound to the light chain of tetanus toxin. Zinc could be reversibly removed by incubation with heavy metal chelators. Zn2+ is coordinated by two histidines with no involvement in cysteines, suggesting that it plays a catalytic rather than a structural role. Bound Zn + was found to be essential for the tetanus toxin inhibition of neurotransmitter release in Aplysia neurons injected with the light chain. The intracellular activity of the toxin was blocked by phosphoramidon, a very specific inhibitor of zinc endopeptidases. Purified preparations of light chain showed a highly specific proteolytic activity against synaptobrevin, an integral membrane protein of small synaptic vesicles. The present findings indicate that tetanus toxin, and possibly also the botulinum neurotoxins, are metalloproteases and that they block neurotransmitter release via this protease activity. So The use of zinc supplementation prior to BTXA injection has been suggested by several previous studies to prolong its duration of action as well as improve its efficacy
