Filter by:The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been used for almost 30 years to treat many intractable back pain conditions. It has demonstrated efficacy in the co-called Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) and a recent randomized controlled trial demonstrated significant superiority of SCS over conventional medical therapy to treat patients with FBSS. Another trial has demonstrated superiority of SCS over repeat surgery in the same patient population. However, the ability to reliably capture the low back with paresthesia coverage has remained challenging and elusive despite numerous strategies designed to overcome this limitation. Strategies that have been introduced but so far with limited success include transverse multiple lead stimulation, high frequency stimulation, peripheral field stimulation, and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation. To date, none of these strategies have been able to reliably overcome the long-term problems of paresthesia capture and pain relief of the low back. This proposal describes a new spinal stimulation technique designed to improve the likelihood of low back stimulation by targeting the nerve supply to the two most commonly affected pain producing structures in the back, the facet joints and the intervertebral disks. The technique has proven to be feasible in a cadaver model with ease of lead placement at the desired targets
The aim of this study is to identify evaluate the effectiveness of stretching exercises of Hatha Yoga method in pregnant women with back pain and posterior pelvic City Paulínia. -There will be a randomized clinical trial with 60 pregnant women with these symptoms. They will be randomly divided into 2 groups. The group A will perform the exercises of Hatha Yoga for ten weeks, once a week group B postural follow the guidelines recommended for the treatment of these pains, for ten weeks. Will be used as a technique for evaluating the Visual Analogue Scale to measure pain intensity and confirmation tests of the lumbar and posterior pelvic pain in order to differentiate them. A descriptive statistical analysis of univariate and bivariate distributions will be made through frequency and graphical representation. The association between the variables will be tested by statistical tests: [chi-square (X ²)], Fisher's exact test, Student's t test or Mann-Whitney, [Student's t test to compare means], ANOVA for the analysis of effects between the groups. [The significance level is predetermined to 5%]. The data will be analyzed in EPI-INFO 2000. SAS 9.0 and from the database created .
Comparison of Dexamethasone versus Depo Medrol when used in lumbar epidural injections will be conducted on subjects that have not had previous injections or have not had an injection in the last 12 months. Subjects must be receiving one level injection and not had prior surgery at that level.
