Filter by:Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is one of the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathies of the lower limbs. It is characterized by paresthesia, pain, tingling, numbness, hypersensitivity, or other abnormal skin sensations on the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. The condition results from compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) along its course, often occurring as the nerve exits the pelvis.The injection of 5% dextrose (D5W) under ultrasound guidance is a novel treatment method for peripheral nerve entrapment. However, there is limited evidence about the efficacy of this method for patients with MP. The investigators found D5W was more safe and effective than corticosteroids for patients with MP. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the 6-month efficacy of ultrasound-guided injection of D5W for MP patients.
In the current retrospective cohort study, conducted by both pain specialists and neurophysiologists, the primary outcome was to search for the effect of obesity on the efficacy of PRF of LFCN in refractory MP for 6 months. Secondary outcomes were to identify the clinical and diagnostic features of the MP.
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) in the management of Meralgia Paresthetica (MP), a peripheral neuropathy causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the thigh region. Participants with MP will be randomly allocated to either the HILT or sham HILT (control) group. The study will evaluate the effects of HILT on pain intensity, functional outcomes, and quality of life. Findings from this trial will provide insights into the potential benefits of HILT as a non-invasive and safe treatment option for patients with MP.
To investigate the effect of muscle energy technique on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in a postpartum female. BACKGROUND: meralgia paraesthesia is one of the serious disorders in the postpartum female which results in pain and less physical activities. ………HYPOTHESES: This study hypothesized that: muscle energy technique will have a significant effect on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in postpartum female
Meralgia paresthetica is an entrapment neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Its main manifestation is neuropathic pain on the lateral aspect of the thigh. Neural prolotherapy has shown improvement and relieve of neuropathic pain. The aim of the current study was to assess the efficacy of neural prolotherapy (subcutaneous perineural injection of dextrose 5% solution) on reliving pain and improvement of function and quality of life in patients with meralgia paresthetica.
To investigate the effect of Neurodynamics Nerve flossing on femoral neuropathy in patients with haemophilia Background: heamophilia is one of the serious chronic disorders in children and adolescents which results in less physical activities and restlessness hours than their peer. HYPOTHESES: This study will hypnotize that: Neurodynamics Nerve flossing will have a significant effect on femoral neuropathy in patients with haemophilia RESEARCH QUESTION: will the Neurodynamics Nerve flossing has an effect on femoral neuropathy in patients with haemophilia?
Pelvic pain syndromes have a high prevalence of up to 8% in the general population and up to 50% following pelvic trauma and pelvic surgery. While medical management is the initial therapeutic step, it is often ineffective with surgical decompression and resection of the putative nerves being the ultima ratio. Cryoablation can induce long-lasting nerve conduction blocks with resultant pain relief for several months. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of magnetic resonance (MR) neurography-guided cryoanalgesia for the treatment of pelvic and associated pain syndromes.
Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is an entrapment mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), where conservative treatment options are not always sufficient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound (US) guided lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injection in the management of meralgia paresthetica by comparing with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy and sham transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy.
Femoral neuropathy after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with femoral nerve block may be as high as 24% at 6 postoperative weeks when evaluated prospectively and systematically through a clinical neurological and an electroneuromyography (ENMG). It is still unclear whether this neuropathy is the result of the surgery, especially the Tourniquet, or the block nerve. The goal of this study is to define the etiology of this postoperative neuropathy.
Nerve blocks are an effective way to control pain after surgery. There are two major nerves that provide sensation to the knee: the femoral nerve provides sensation to the front of the knee and sciatic nerve provides sensation to the back of the knee. The femoral nerve has two branches. To locate the nerve, we use a machine called (Nerve stimulator) which is attached to the needle used for nerve block. Use of a nerve stimulator is standard practice for this procedure. Ultrasound is being increasingly used to locate nerves but is not used universally. We will use the nerve stimulator and ultrasound to locate the femoral nerve but patients will randomly be selected to enter a group looking at the stimulation of one or the other branches of the femoral nerve. The two branches when stimulated produce different muscle contractions in the thigh. We do not know from research which is the optimal contraction to position the needle to get the best block. After the knee replacement patients will still have the same analgesic medication available as patients would have received if they were not in the study.
