Filter by:This study investigates the effect of exercise training on pain, physical activity and quality of life in pediatric hemophilia patients.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Acetabular Shells when used with the Vivacit-E and Longevity HXLPE liners and instrumentation in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
Pharmacists may also logistically serve as ideal health-care destinations to implement and deliver prevention, early intervention, and referral of oral health services to reduce the incidence of potentially preventable oral conditions including tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Interprofessional teamwork between pharmacist and dentistry may help to encourage pharmacists to take a more active role in promoting oral health. By providing information and assistance for self-care and the use of over the counter (OTC) products for minor problems on oral health, it can provide better patient care in the Malaysian health-care system
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective surgical procedure for reducing knee joint pain and improving the quality of life of patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. Although advanced surgical techniques and prosthesis design are achieved, postoperative pain is a significant factor that affects those patients who have undergone TKA with a satisfactory outcome. The reasons for postoperative pain after TKA are somewhat unclear Although there are studies evaluating the preoperative and postoperative conditions of the patients using pain scores, these values differ greatly in patients who are suitable for the same procedure. Previous studies have demonstrated that variability exists between individuals in basal pain sensitivity, which is assessed using quantitative sensory testing To our knowledge, only one study has investigated the pain condition using an algometer and postoperative pain and the analgesic requirement on the day of surgery and during the postoperative period.Unlike the above-cited study, in this study, we evaluated the effect of using a tourniquet on early-stage pain and 1-year postoperative functional outcomes when patients were divided into two groups according to the pain threshold.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how people feel after a radiofrequency ablation standard of care surgery using a different type of needle (multi-tined expandable electrode/MEE) in comparison to receiving conventional medical management (CMM) techniques.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of physiotherapy program and review the associations between neck movements, pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements and quality of life in individuals with migraine.
This study aims is to evaluate the effect of opioid free total intravenous anesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMF) temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery.
Examine the effect of strain-counter strain (SCS) versus muscle energy technique (MET) on pain pressure threshold (PPT), functional disability, and the innominate angle tilt with SIJ dysfunction.
Background. The recurrence of hemarthrosis in patients with congenital coagulopathies favors the development of a progressive, degenerative intra-articular lesion (hemophilic arthropathy) that mainly affects the knees, ankles and elbows. Disability and functional limitations are characteristic sequelae of these patients from an early age. Objective. To assess the joint status, the perception of quality of life, the performance of roles and the performance of daily life activities, in patients with hemophilic arthropathy. Study design. Observational, multicenter study. Method. 70 patients with hemophilia A and B will be included in this study. Patients will be recruited from 4 centers in different regions of Spain. The dependent variables will be: pain (measured with the Visual Analogue Scale), joint status (Hemophilia Joint Health Score), perception of quality of life (SF-36 questionnaire), list of roles, performance of daily life activities (Barthel scale), performing the instrumental activities of daily life (Lawton and Brody scale). The evolution of the variables will be analyzed using parametric (t-student or ANOVA) or non-parametric (Wilcoxon or Friedman) tests. A correlation analysis will be carried out between the dependent and independent variables, as well as a linear regression analysis between the observed determining variables. Expected results. The aim is to observe the relationship of pain and joint status in patients with hemophilic arthropathy, with their perception of quality of life, the development of the roles they play and the performance of basic and instrumental activities of daily living.
This study will compare the effects of closed incision negative pressure dressing vs. standard of care silver dressing on lower limb swelling after bilateral primary total knee arthroplasty.
