View clinical trials related to Median Nerve Disease.
Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare ultrasound-guided perineural injection of the median nerve with classic minimal incision surgical technique for median nerve decompression in patients diagnosed with mild, moderate, and severe carpal tunnel syndrome.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a kind of worldwide and common sexual dysfunction disease, which mainly affects men over forty years old. The clinical characteristics of ED is the inability to maintain sufficient erection to obtain satisfactory sexual intercourse. Age, education, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and hypertension are factors inducing ED. Recent years, the prevalence of ED is rising, and more men aged below forty years old are suffering ED. Published review indicated that the prevalence of ED was 40.56% in Chinese men aged over forty years old. A survey conducted in China suggested that 40.56% men aged over forty years old suffered from ED. Another international survey found that, 21.48% sexually active participants suffered from ED. Several researches demonstrated that, ED affects health and quality of life of patients and partner. Besides, ED induces patients' psychosocial problems, including depression and anxiety, and reduce work efficiency. According to American Urological Association guideline published in 2018, the clinical therapies for ED include phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i), vacuum erection device, and penile prosthesis implantation. PDE5i (such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil) is a first-line drug for ED, recommended by doctors and patients. However, the most common side effects of PDE5i were headache, dyspepsia, flushing, and blurred vision. Furthermore, the ideal dose and type of PDE5i still need to be further studied. The use of PDE5i is restricted by those reasons. Acupuncture is an important role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and acupuncture received more concerned recently. The correlation between meridians and viscera is the center of acupuncture scientific problem. Acupoints stimulation can regulate visceral sensation and mobility to treat diseases.
The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between disease severity and sleep quality in CTS patients and to compare the findings with healthy controls.
The aim of our study is to determine the effectiveness of US-guided hydrodissection of the median nerve in different contents and volumes in patients diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
There is relation between the cervical radiculopathy and carpal tunnel syndrome and why the referred pain is fall at carpal tunnel not at elbow.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of median nerve neuromobilization on median nerve elasticity using shear wave elastography. Methods: The study included 36 healthy volunteers (72 upper extremities) aged 18-30 years. Inclusion criteria; no known systemic neuromuscular and metabolic diseases, no nerve impingement syndrome, and no upper extremity bone-tendon-muscle surgery in the last six months. Sociodemographic data of the participants were recorded. Wrist flexion and extension bilaterally with universal goniometer and finger grip strength bilaterally were measured with pinchmeter. Median Nerve Stress Test was performed. Median nerve elasticity was measured by Shear Wave Ultrasound Elastography. The extremity of the dominant side as a study group and the non-dominant side as a control group were measured bilaterally. Median nerve neuromobilization (stretching (n = 18) and shifting (n = 18)) was applied to the upper extremities of the dominant side. The application was carried out as 3 sets in one session. Evaluations were repeated after application.
Objectives: To develop a protocol for early treatment using sensory reeducation through the mirror after surgical reconstruction of the median nerve and / or ulnar hand, and its comparison with the evolution of the return of skin sensitivity after a not early rehabilitation which will be conducted by physiotherapists, with blinding of the evaluators.
