Filter by:For patients suffering of osteoarthritis, only analgesic treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs and cortisone infiltrations provide significant but temporary relief of their pain. The objective is to compare the analgesic effect of 2 infiltrations: Cingal (sodium hyaluronate and triamcinolone) versus cortisone (triamcinolone). It is anticipated that the Cingal infiltration will have a greater analgesic effect than a simple cortisone infiltration in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder. Method: - Randomized controlled trial - Monocentric - Randomization will be done using sealed envelopes
This comparative treatment study aims to challenge a current clinical practice. Specifically, whether the use of ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post insertion failure rates with longer utility time compared to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) inserted in the standard manner during the emergency department (ED), observation and in-patient stay. There are two secondary aims to the study: a) determining if ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous catheter insertion results in lower post removal complication rates compared to PIVCs inserted in the standard manner; and b) determining if catheter-to-vein ratio can predict post insertion success of PIVCs and what catheter-to-vein ratio is most successful. In this study, catheter-to-vein ratio is defined as the diameter of the lumen of the vein divided by the outside diameter of the catheter.
Background: This study aims to obtain the most favorable syringe and needle combination, which causes the least pain during local anesthesia tumescent injection in the simulation of fully awake hand surgery. Methods: A randomized single-blinded controlled trial is designed for 30 adult male healthy subjects to compare the pain from injection using syringe and needle combination i.e. 1) 1 cc syringe with 26G needle, 2) 3 cc syringe with 26 G needle, and 3) 5 cc needle with 26 G needle. The injection will be performed in any of at the second, third and fourth fingers of either subject's hand randomly. The injection will be SIMPLE block technique using 1 cc of NaCl 0.9% solution under the injection speed of 30 seconds/cc. Subjects are required to rate two check-point of VAS at the timing of needle puncture and just right after the completion of the infiltration. Upon the completion of each finger, the subject is also asked to give response to seri of questions regarding the procedures and their preferences. At the end of all injections, subject is asked to rate his preference of syringe and needle combination.
The purpose of this study is to examine deficits in activation and motor patterns, as well as central drive in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. There are three specific aims: (1) determine the effect of acute pain relief on rotator cuff muscle activation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, (2) determine the effect of exercise on rotator cuff muscle activation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, and (3) compare rotator cuff muscle activation between patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy and healthy controls.
Early rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is of paramount importance and requires optimal pain control based on a multimodal concept, including injection of local anaesthetics. Regarding this latter, different options have emerged recently such as the adductor canal block, performed before the surgery by the anaesthesiologist or the infiltration of the articulation performed by the surgeon at the of the intervention. No trial has compared these two approaches. As practice of medicine should be based on evidence, we decided to undertake this randomised controlled trial where we compared the adductor canal block with the local infiltration analgesia technique in terms of pain and functional outcomes
The purpose of this study is to determine whether commercial ultrasound imaging systems can discern normal from infiltrated tissue near a peripheral intravenous site.
The purpose of this study to to monitor the peripheral intravenous (PIV) site on subjects receiving continuous IV fluids for infiltration and extravasation events. Infiltration is an indication that the PIV is leaking fluids outside of the vascular system. The study hypothesis is to demonstrate that changes in the optical signals of the non-invasive monitoring medical device will detect infiltration and extravasation events.
Vascular access in patients carries a significant risk of accidental extravasation of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications with the potential for tissue injury. This prospective controlled study assessed the diagnostic utility of using intravenous diluted sodium bicarbonate to confirm placement of IV catheters in volunteers . Diluted sodium bicarbonate or 0.9% normal saline, will be injected in a randomized order while end-tidal carbon dioxide in the exhaled air will be monitored. The investigators hypothesize that the injected bicarbonate will dissolve into carbon dioxide and water and cause a transient increase in the measured exhaled CO2. The effect is unique to bicarbonate and will not appear once normal saline is injected. the safety of the administration of bicarbonate on the metabolic profile of the volunteers will be assessed by measurement of venous blood pH and electrolytes.
