Filter by:The purpose of this research study will be to assess the effects of a compressive tissue flossing (CTF) program on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members. Dependent variables will be the Defense and Veteran's Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS), decrease their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) score, increase their maximal grip strength in the affected upper extremity (UE). Measurements will be taken at baseline, immediately after the first CTF intervention, and at the 1-week follow-up, for a total of 3 measurements.
In this study, the objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of a single application of human Connective Tissue Allograft (CTA) as a treatment of LET. CTM Biomedical markets and distributes decellularized particulate human placental connective-tissue matrix products, intended solely for homologous use to supplement or replace damaged or inadequate connective-tissue. These are structural tissue allografts processed according to the criteria contained in 21CFR 1271.10(a) for regulation solely under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act. Drug/Device Handling: If the research involves drugs or device, describe your plans to store, handle, and administer those drugs or devices so that they will be used only on subjects and be used only by authorized investigators.
Chronic tendinopathies (CT) have a high prevalence (30% of musculoskeletal injuries), causing pain, decreased physical activity and functionality, as well as limitations in daily life. Virtual reality (VR) fosters patient recovery through playful activities that promote competitiveness, stimulates motivation and continuous attention, allows individualizing the exercise program, objectively assessing the execution of the treatment and monitoring the patient's evolution. Therefore, the VIRTENDON-REHAB project aims to conduct a low-risk randomized controlled clinical trial to analyze the efficacy of a VR-based physical rehabilitation program in a population diagnosed with CT on pain, functionality, range of motion, strength, muscle activation pattern, kinesiophobia, quality of life, adherence to treatment and patient satisfaction with the use of the system, compared to a control group. Likewise, the aim is to characterize the clinical profile of this population and to know the relationships between the previous variables. Measurements will be taken at the beginning of the intervention, at the end (12 weeks) and 3 months after the end of the intervention. A descriptive analysis will be performed, inter- and intra-group differences will be analyzed by means of t-Student, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U and mixed ANOVA tests. Cohen's d will be used to determine the effect size. Relationships between variables will be analyzed using structural equations. The results obtained will allow improving knowledge on the management of CT using VR, as well as improving clinical care and reducing healthcare costs.
The study will address the gaps in the pain experience measurement in those with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) by building on the current body of literature, as well as applying modern pain science measures. The comprehensive measurement of various biomedical, psychological, and psychosocial constructs will provide pain profiles that will allow for the subclassification of LET to better inform loading prescriptions based on the systemic effects from LET.
The investigators believe that blood flow-restricted training can result in increased caste hypertrophy and strength without stressing the tendon in lateral elbow tendinopathy, and that changes in local metabolic activities can be effective in the process of tendon healing. The researchers' aim in the study is to investigate the effectiveness of blood flow restriction training in lateral elbow tendinopathy for 8 weeks, in addition to the 2 days a week multi-modal physiotherapy program, which will be applied by limiting blood flow by 40-50% occlusion recommended for the upper extremity using the patient's systolic pressure to the severity of 20-30% of 1 maximum repetition, 75 repetitions including 30-15-15-15 repetitions and 30 seconds rest period between sets, remaining attached to the recommended 10-15 minutes period for the top extremity.
A randomized cross-over trial comparing the immediate effects of a wrist extensor exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on pain perception in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET).
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of rotator cuff and scapular muscle strengthening exercises applied in addition to the 8-week elbow focused rehabilitation program in lateral elbow tendinopathy, by comparing it with the elbow focused rehabilitation program.
Soft Tissue Adapted Biocompatible Hyaluronic Acid, or STABHA™, has demonstrated varying degrees efficacy in patients treated for common musculoskeletal tendinopathies and ligament injuries, such as ankle sprains, lateral elbow tendinopathy, and rotator cuff tendinopathies. Factors associated with prognosis following treatment remain largely unknown. Identifying appropriate patient populations for use of STABHA™ is a necessary first step to facilitate the design of future clinical trials in the management of acute and chronic musculoskeletal soft-tissue injuries.
Evaluation of the applying a stretching protocol to lateral epicondylitis.
The purpose of the current investigation is to examine the effect of tissue-flossing on upper extremity, pain, strength and functional performance in subjects with musculoskeletal-related complaints of pain surrounding the elbow complex
