Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of ultrasonography-guided hydrodissection technique with 5% dextrose and dexamethasone injectates when applied in different volumes in the treatment of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
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.
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the diagnosis of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was made based on clinical findings and physical examinations. Then, the cross-sectional areas of the participants' median nerves from different levels were measured. Meidolateral and anteroposterior diameter were measured at the level of the carpal tunnel inlet. Flattening ratio was calculated. wrist to forearm ratio and wrist to forearm difference were calculated. The obtained data were compared between RA with CTS, RA without CTS and healthy control.
This study aims to investigate the role of inflammation in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using a prospective cohort study design. The study will involve a sample of at least 50 individuals with CTS who will undergo a comprehensive clinical and biochemical evaluation to assess the role of inflammation in CTS. The primary outcome measures include inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), as well as clinical measures of CTS severity. Data will be analyzed using regression analysis to determine the relationship between inflammation and CTS. The study is expected to provide information on the role of inflammation in CTS and inform the choice of drug and concentration for transdermal drug administration.
This study will be a Randomized controlled trial with a sample size of at least 100 individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will be randomized to receive either thermal ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound, a combination of both, or a placebo treatment for 10 minutes, three times per week, for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will include pain intensity, functional status, and nerve conduction studies. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
The aim in this prospective, randomized and controlled, single-blind study; In the conservative treatment of patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, to investigate the effects of neurodynamic exercises that applied with nonimmersive virtual reality technology and patient education program presented by the telerehabilitation method on pain-numbness, functional status and quality of life, to compare the effects of neurodynamic exercises that applied with traditional methods and standard education given to patients in outpatient clinic conditions on the same parameters.
The purpose of this study is to examine: 1. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the sensory and motor median nerve conduction velocity in carpal tunnel syndrome. 2. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the wrist pain in carpal tunnel syndrome. 3. The effect of neurodynamic mobilization on the hand function in 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 study compares two widely used treatments in closing the wound after open carpal tunnel release surgery: absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. It is conducted as a randomized controlled trial, where the participants are divided into two research groups. The visual outcome of the scar will be evaluated a year after the surgery.
