NCT ID: NCT06382805 Recruiting - Physical Therapy Clinical Trials

Comparison of the Effects of Kinesio Tape and High-intensity Laser Therapy in Lateral Epicondylitis

Start date: May 2, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Lateral epicondylitis is a common upper extremity disease that occurs with tenderness in the lateral epicondyle, the common attachment point of the wrist extensor muscles, and pain during resisted wrist extension. The main purpose of treating lateral epicondylitis is to reduce pain and increase functionality, but there is no accepted standard treatment method. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of kinesio tape and high intensity laser in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis.

NCT ID: NCT06038890 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Prostate Hyperplasia

The Learning Curve of Transurethral Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate, Prospective Assessment

Start date: August 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Despite the high-quality evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP), wide adoption of the procedure is hindered by learning difficulties. Veil-sparing HOLEP was popularized with a standardized approach to learning. Prospective multicenter assessment of the learning curve of HoLEP through a novel technique with structured learning protocol. Learning outcome measures will be assessed against time and number of performed cases of new learners in a multicenter study.

NCT ID: NCT06000202 Recruiting - Vaginal Atrophy Clinical Trials

In this study, demonstration of the efficacy of Er:YAG laser for the treatment of atrophic vaginitis in postmenopausal women is intended with Maturation Index (MI), vaginal pH measurement, Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Vaginal Health Index (VaHI), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and ultrasonographic elastography

NCT ID: NCT05811026 Recruiting - Laser Clinical Trials

Efficacy of Periorbital Rejuvenation With a 1927 nm Diode Laser Treatment

Start date: March 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the treatment design, therapeutic effects and safety of the 1927 nm laser for the rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes.

NCT ID: NCT05793476 Recruiting - Vulvodynia Clinical Trials

Therapeutic Efficacy of Erbium:YAG Laser in Postpartum Patients With Episiotomy Scars

Start date: August 4, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Episiotomy is a planned surgical incision to the perineum and posterior wall of the vagina during the second stage of labor. The fibrotic and sclerotic scar tissue formed as part of the healing process of episiotomies may cause pain. Therefore, episiotomy is associated with sexual dysfunction due to the painful sexual intercourse, chronic pain and infections and scarring in long term. Er:YAG laser is a safe option for the treatment of vulvar pain. Er:YAG laser is a non-invasive and non-ablative procedure that strengthens the connective tissue in the vaginal wall. It provides controlled thermal energy and causes shrinkage of collagen fibrils of the vaginal epithelium and lamina propria. It also induces neocollagenesis, elastogenesis and neoangiogenesis by temperature change. Er:YAG laser is also an effective modality to treat the scar tissue formed after the mediolateral episiotomy since it is a matter of functionality and esthetics. By tissue remodeling effect Er:YAG laser will improve the scar tissue of episiotomy and ameliorate the vulvar pain. In this study, the therapeutic effect of Er:YAG laser on the tissue healing of the episiotomy scars and the reduction of vulvar pain.

NCT ID: NCT05627141 Recruiting - Muscle Damage Clinical Trials

Photobiomodulation, Cryotherapy Combined With Compression, and Massage for Recovery

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Skeletal muscle fatigue is an inevitable phenomenon in the training and competition routine for many crossfit athletes, which can impair their physical performance and predispose them to musculoskeletal injuries. Thus, strategies and/or therapies that minimize fatigue and accelerate muscle recovery are extremely relevant for everyone involved with sport. The aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the effects of photobiomodulation, cryotherapy combined with compression, and massage as isolated therapies for muscle recovery after a protocol of induced muscle damage and fatigue in Crossfit athletes. This is a randomized, double-blind, crossover, sham-controlled clinical trial. Will be recruited 60 male participants, adults, aged between 18 and 40 years, Crossfit practitioners. They will be randomly allocated into 3 groups of 20 participants per therapy, each crossed between effective and sham every 15 days. The primary outcome will be muscle performance in functional test (free squat) and knee extensor torque in maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Secondary outcomes will be evaluated by the levels of muscle damage via creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and inflammatory process via blood C-reactive protein (CRP); and delayed onset muscle pain via numerical verbal scale (0-10). All outcomes will be evaluated at baseline, 24h and 48h after induction of muscle damage and fatigue. Data will be analyzed and compared intra and inter groups with a significance level of 5%.

NCT ID: NCT05596838 Active, not recruiting - Keratoconus Clinical Trials

Long-term Result of Placing Intracorneal Rings in Keratoconus Using Laser

STAK
Start date: January 20, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Intracorneal rings are indicated in patients whose central cornea does not present opacity and whose visual acuity is not satisfied despite correction with lenses or linked to an intolerance to lenses. Surgeries such as crosslinking and intracorneal rings placement are alternatives to corneal transplantation with the expected effects: stabilization of the disease for corneal collagen crosslinking and visual rehabilitation by the placement of intracorneal rings. The main objective of this study is to evaluate visual benefit1 year after placement of intracorneal rings using laser in keratoconus

NCT ID: NCT05476445 Completed - Pain, Postoperative Clinical Trials

Effect of Cryotherapy and LLLT on Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Treatment

Start date: May 2, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and intracanal cryotherapy applications on postoperative pain in endodontic interventions of primary molar teeth with apical periodontitis. 75 patients were randomly assigned to the control, low-level laser and cryotherapy groups.Root canal treatments were performed in a single session. The pain intensity felt by the patients on the preoperative and postoperative 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th days were recorded using the Wong Baker visual pain scale. Preoperative and postoperative 7th day percussion sensitivity was recorded using the VAS (visual analog scale) scale. The pain scores of the groups at different times after the procedure were compared. Statistical analysis of the data was performed at the 0.05 significance level.

NCT ID: NCT05299996 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Congenital Disorders

Flexible URS in Management of Renal Stones in Anomalous Kidney

Start date: April 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The urotheliasis is a common problem encountered daily by all urologists worldwide with rates up to 13% in North America, 9% in Europe and 5% in Asia . The urotheliasis is treated by conservation, medical treatment and surgery according to many factors . Anomalies in the kidney happens due to failure in ascending , fusion, rotation or all together, horse-shoe kidney is the most common example , found in one of 400 patients . PCNL and URS are the golden standard method for stone extraction worldwide, since their introduction 1975 by Fernstrom and Johansson & Arthur Smith respectively in normal kidney .Since the development of the endourological procedures and instrument , continuous updates and upgrades have been applied ,such as enhancing the optical systems ,reducing the diameter, navigation (deflection angles) and stone fragmentation .Stone treatment in anomalous kidney is more demanding, requires more skills and training . The flexible ureterorenoscopy has some problems first the cost but this problem is being now solved by the use of disposable scopes , second the skills it requires , third the possibility of sepsis is higher . To our knowledge most of the studies in the literature are retrospective, carrying some weakness in them. There is no agreed-upon therapeutic method for treatment of stones in anomalous kidney so the investigators will evaluate the role of F-URS in a prospective study.
