Filter by:To determine the effectiveness of the "Free from Pain" exercise and information programme. The complete programme provides exercises and information for people over the age of 60 to reduce early osteoarthritic and generalised musculoskeletal pain and fear of falling. The study will compare the effects of 2 versions of the Free from Pain programme to ascertain which is the most effective.
This project proposes to systematically develop and evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a digitally delivered, graded exposure treatment for youth with chronic musculoskeletal pain, utilizing a sequential replicated and randomized single-case experimental design (SCED). SCED provides the opportunity to rigorously evaluate treatment effectiveness at the individual level. Development of iGET Living will be based on a series of short iterations, with alpha testing (Aim 1) on a small sample of adolescents with chronic pain (N = 15). For Aim 1, participants will participate in three, two hour focus groups (one per week over the course of three weeks), resulting in 6 total hours of participation per participant for Aim 1. Aim 2 will involve a sample (N = 20 youth) of naïve end-users. Participants will be enrolled in a baseline period ranging from 7-25 days (done to support SCED methodology) after which they will be enrolled in the online intervention program, lasting 6-weeks. Patients will be contacted 3-months post-discharge from treatment (week 22 of enrollment) and will complete self-report outcome measures at this time.
A number of previous studies investigated the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
In professional musicians there are characteristic diseases. In this area there is no preventive culture and many musicians end their professional careers due to ailments and pathologies that cause the abandonment of the profession or they learn to live and play with pain. It is a very demanding profession that requires many hours of training without respecting the necessary rest, which undoubtedly produces fatigue and muscle overload, neurological disorders, etc. Also, the demands to achieve perfection lead to serious work problems. Given that it is a profession that suffers from pain and psychosomatic alterations and that is often accompanied by emotional alterations due to work demands, it is necessary to know this problem and to what extent it affects the musician to be able to act from different areas and improve his well-being. The objective is to know specifically the characteristics of professional musicians, their impact variables, both musculoskeletal and emotional, variables related to the workplace and to evaluate their quality of life.
The Swiss chiropractic cohort (Swiss ChiCo) practice-based research network (PBRN) is nationwide research project with the aim to develop a musculoskeletal focused PBRN within the Swiss chiropractic setting and describe the characteristics of clinicians recruited. Development of the PBRN has been guided through participatory engagement of multiple stakeholders including patients, clinicians, scientists, and policymakers.
Persistent musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in adolescence is associated with disability, absence from school and reduced quality of life. We know little about risk factors and underlying mechanisms of persistent MSK pain in this age group. For example, the effect of other health complaints on the development of persistent MSK pain is scarcely investigated. In this prospective cohort study, data from the Fit Futures study on Norwegian adolescents (15-19 years old) will be used to investigate whether health complaints and an accumulation of health complaints in adolescence are associated with the incidence of persistent MSK pain two years later.
The study will determinate influence of four selected physiotherapeutic procedures on the pain intensity and the range of mandibular mobility in patients with myofascial disorders in the SS.
The proposed randomized control trial will evaluate auricular point acupressure (APA) treatment administered by the participant themselves with the use of a phone app on chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) outcomes. This study will randomly assign participants into three groups: (1) Self-guided mAPA (S-mAPA), (2) In-Person Training + mAPA (IP-mAPA), and (3) Usual Care Control (UC). EMA will be used to assess momentary pain outcomes and APA adherence. Data will be collected at pre- (T1), post-completion of intervention (T2), follow-ups at post 1M- (primary endpoint) (T3), 2M (T4), and 3M (secondary endpoint, long-term sustained effect) (T5) for a total of four assessments.
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) on playing-related pain, upper extremity and hand function, grip and pinch strength in violin players. One hundred seventeen participants who were professional violinists for at least two years were randomized to receive either therapeutic tape application (KT group), a sham tape application (placebo group) or no application (control group) for one week. The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) in one week. The secondary outcomes were the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Purdue Pegboard Test, grip and pinch strength. Outcome measures were performed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one week later (follow-up). Participants were asked to play the "Violin Concerto No.2, Op.35", and pre-and post-performance pain and grip and pinch strength were assessed.
Phase III clinical trial, multicentre of superiority, randomized, double-blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled and use of ibuprofen gel in the treatment of acute pain.
