NCT ID: NCT04369092 Completed - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Myotonometer Analyses of Muscles in Multiple Sclerosis Patients With Dysphagia

Start date: October 2, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune neurological disease characterized by the destruction of myelin in the central nervous system, grey matter and axonal loss. The prevalence of neurogenic dysphagia in this group of patients is estimated to be more than 30%. The aim of this study was investigating of Masseter, Orbicularis Oris, Sternocleidomastoid muscles' viscoelastic properties in MS patients with and without swallowing problems.

NCT ID: NCT04201691 Completed - Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials

Effect of Manuel Therapy on Tonus, Proprioseption and Balance in Multiple Sclerosis

Start date: January 7, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is investigates the effect of cervical mobilization on tonus, position sense and balance in patient with multiple sclerosis. Half of participants will received classic rehabilitation program, while the other half will received servical mobilization in addition to classic rehabilitation program.

NCT ID: NCT03509337 Completed - Elastography Clinical Trials

Changes in the Ulnar Tissues by Shear-wave Elastography

Start date: May 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

A single-center, observational, prospective, single cohort study with before-after design. Evaluation by shear-wave elastography, measured in kilopascals (KPa), of the muscle, tendon and cubital nerve, before and after the maneuver of putting in tension of the ulnar nerve.

NCT ID: NCT03222154 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

EFFECTS OF SHOCK WAVE THERAPY IN WOMEN WITH PAIN IN TRAPÉZIO MUSCLE

Start date: July 1, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study consisted of 60 women who had pain-point pains in the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle. They had a medical age of 22.8 years, with a body mass index of 22.8 kg / cm2.They underwent an initial assessment, with a visual analogue pain scale, followed by an assessment of pain threshold, and manual muscle strength.Then, they were allocated into three groups: control group with 20 volunteers without intervention, placebo group with 20 volunteers with shock wave simulation and an intervention group with 20 volunteers with shock wave therapy. All volunteers were evaluated immediately after the protocol (post evaluation) and 48 hours after the intervention protocol (48 hour evaluation). A mixed ANOVA of repeated measurements was used for intra and intergroup comparisons, followed by tukey post hoc. Significance was set at 5% (p <0.05).

NCT ID: NCT03154632 Completed - Muscle Tonus Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Digital Capacitive Diathermy Versus Ultrasound on Myofascial Trigger Points

Start date: February 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective: To compare the effect on muscle tone between the application of digital capacitive diathermy and the application of ultrasound on the myofascial trigger points (MTP) of the upper trapezius muscle. Hypothesis: The application of digital capacitive diathermy on myofascial trigger points of the trapezius muscle compared to the application of ultrasound produces objective changes in muscle tone, and this change is superior to the changes generated by the US.

NCT ID: NCT02735408 Recruiting - Low Back Pain Clinical Trials

Kinesiotape Tensiomyography in Low Back Region

Start date: October 2015
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Lumbar pain is a quite prevalent pathology in general population within general and sporting population, which comes to mean high sanitary and sport costs. This concrete pain´s nature is often unspecific, but it seems that one of the main risk factors that predispose to suffer from it are changes in the paravertebral-lumbar musculature stiffness. Since one decade approximately, it has proliferated, especially within sportsmen and women the use of a therapeutic technique: the neuromuscular bandage best known as Kinesiotape (KT). This treatment seems to accept different applications, despite there´s still a lack of scientific evidence for several of its supposed effects. One of the theories about its use technique is that the bandage strain generates different effects in musculature stiffness. Thus, when the bandage is applied over the skin with a pre-stretching of the elastic bandage, it can cause arise of stiffness and strength muscle empowerment. On the other hand, if the bandage is applied without strain, the opposite result would appear, relaxation and strength muscle decrease. For trainers and therapists is important to know if the KT effect differs over the bandage technique, since the application could be different according to the specific troubles reported by the athletes. For example, talking about cyclists, who keep constantly a hold rachis lumbar flexion, could be interesting to normalize the lumbar musculature stiffness, by placing the bandage with certain strain to achieve a mechanic effect. Nevertheless, talking about other sports like weightlifting, the bandage effect should be the stiffness arisen as a preventive measure, for avoiding injuries derived from the lack of motor control in the lumbar region. These lumbar-region muscle problems affect to popular and majority sports like football, so lumbar pain is very frequently reported by football players, normally due to an agonist-antagonist musculature unbalance. In all these terms, the use of KT would be interesting in order to reduce the musculature strain degree. Tensiomyography (TMG) is showing as one of the most useful and reliable instrument for the musculature stiffness assessing, due to its velocity, harmlessness, sensing and high reproducibility. Taking in consideration that the maximum deformity measured by the TMG is inversely related with the muscle stiffness, and whereas this project pretends to modify that stiffness by means of the KT application, it seems obvious that TMG is the most suitable measurement instrument. All these precedents considered, the present project pretends to analyze the effects of different KT strain application along 48 hours with strains techniques of 100%, strain 50% and strain 0% in the normalization of the paravertebral-lumbar musculature stiffness, by means of TMG monitoring.
