Filter by: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.
the goal of this half-face controlled study is to evaluate the effect of exosome-containing liquid dressings on the recovery of patients after Nd:YAG laser 532 treatment.
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.
This study is a randomized controlled sham applied study. Its aim is to evaluate the efficacy of Er:YAG laser for the treatment of atrophic vaginitis in postmenopausal women. 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
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.
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.
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%.
We will recruit 30 poor ovarian responders and thin endometrium patients, aged 35-45 year old, and treat with intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) via an intravenous catheter for irradiation of the blood under a period of 60 minutes for 10 days. We will evaluate the number and the quality of oocyte retrieved, endometrium thickness and pregnancy rate. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether ILIB is the efficient treatment to improve the ovarian response and the clinical outcome of the poor ovarian responders and thin endometrium patients.
