Filter by:This was a multicenter randomized controlled study. 66 post-stroke patients with pharyngeal dysphagia were randomly allocated to the observation group (n=33) or the control group (n=33). Both groups were provided with comprehensive rehabilitation including routine rehabilitation and swallowing function training. Besides, the observation group additionally underwent the stellate ganglion block (SGB). At admission and after 20-day treatment, Kubota water swallowing test, video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and Rosenbek penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) were used to assess swallowing function.
This clinical trial will enroll participants to evaluate the effects of SPG block on post-traumatic headache. The study hypothesizes that patients that receive a SPG block with lidocaine vs. placebo (saline) will have a lower number of headache days in the week following the procedure, and will also report lower symptom scores. Eligible participants will receive one treatment (SPG block) as well as complete surveys prior to and after receiving treatment (for a total of approximately 2 weeks).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the ganglion sphenopalatine block (SPG block) on persistent headache following acute COVID-19 infection.
The objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of Spheno-Palatine (SP) ganglion block to alleviate the pain of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH).
Compare the emotional experience of patients with focal lesions of the basal ganglia by ischemic or hemorrhagic damage and healthy participants. These anomalies will be highlighted by neuropsychological and electrophysiological assessments.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment for advanced complicated Parkinson's disease (PD). Several controlled randomized studies have given proof of an advantage for operated patients as compared to medically treated patients in terms of motor outcome, activities of daily living and health status. However these studies have addressed mostly stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). GPi stimulation has not been compared to best medical treatment (BMT) in a prospective randomized controlled trial in patients with complicated PD who are not good candidates for STN stimulation. The investigators aim assessing GPi-DBS in patients with PD who have contraindications for STN-DBS.
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the strongest pains known to humans. Some patients do not have enough effect with the available pharmaceutical treatments and are offered a type of surgery, which involves the injection of glycerol in a nerve structure called trigeminal ganglion. The researchers will do a pilot study on 10 patients with a new surgical technique using neuronavigation. The researchers believe that this new neuronavigation-based system can improve the precision of the technique and reduce the risk for complications.
There are no studies as yet specifically investigating the application of DRG stimulation in the treatment of chronic pain affecting the upper limbs. The investigators propose to investigate the effect of dorsal root stimulation in patients with chronic hand or upper limb pain.
Digital myxoid cysts arise from degeneration in the connective tissue of the digit joint, usually the last joint of the finger or toe, often due to underlying joint arthritis. They may connect with the joint. Pressure from the cyst can result in deformity of the digit's nail and trauma to the cyst results in leakage of the fluid, representing a potential source of entry for infection. Cysts can be tender and interfere with the digit's function. A variety of treatments are available, from simple extrusion which is rarely successful, to more destructive cryotherapy, infra-red coagulation and formal excision under local anaesthetic. These latter three approaches can result in considerable scarring. Sclerosant injection of polidocanol in one small non-randomised trial has been reported to be a well tolerated efficacious treatment with minimal scarring and long-term resolution. Following a pilot study, the investigators aim to trial this treatment to assess efficacy in a larger population.
The purpose of this research study is to find out which combination of pain medications following surgery work the best and result in the fewest side effects.
