Filter by:Musculoskeletal pain is a common affection due to ageing, sedentarism and intense exercise practice causing acute and chronic injuries. The main objective of this trial is to prove efficacy of a natural topical composition containing Arnica montana, Hypericum perforatum, Calendula officinalis, Melaleuca sp. and menthol in pain management in adults with acute or chronic pain. This randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial will include 200 patients with musculoskeletal pain, 100 in the intervention group receiving the topical formula and 100 in the placebo group, who will receive a similar formula without active ingredients. The products will be applied topically twice daily for 14 days in areas with moderate or severe pain. The study objectives are immediate and long-term pain alleviation, stiffness perception joint mobility, and general recovery perception.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomised, controlled study, with two parallel groups, designed to assess the clinical impact of a digital exercise program against conventional rehabilitation for shoulder tendonitis. The hypothesis is that all the clinical outcomes measured will significantly improve after the program, and patients using this novel system will attain at least the same outcomes than the ones attained by the conventional PT group.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a daily, 15-minute stretching routine for one year reduces musculoskeletal pain and improves quality of life in personnel working in the radiology and cardiology departments at Mayo Clinics and Mayo Clinic Health System sites.
Experiencing an episode of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in young age significantly increases the risk of developing MSK pain later in life. Consequently, knowledge on modifiable risk factors early in life is needed. In this prospective cohort study, data from the population-based Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) will be used to investigate whether a combination of lifestyle factors in adolescence is associated with persistent MSK pain in young adulthood.
This is a pragmatic controlled clinical trial taking place in the first phase of COVID-19 lockdown re-opening in Spain. Patients of 52 chiropractic clinics were invited to participate in a pseudo-random order (one out of every three contacted patients) as they were contacted to either schedule an appointment with their current chiropractor or not, depending on the clinic's and the patient's availability. Patients would receive chiropractic in-person care (one or more than one visits) or no care at all, for a two-week period. According to the care received, they were assigned to one of three groups (receiving no care, receiving care once, and more than once). Participants filled an online questionnaire with self-reported outcome-measures at the beginning of the two week period. A follow-up questionnaire was completed 14 days after.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy of targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment on aromatase inhibitor-associated musculoskeletal pain. This trial asks a critical, previously unaddressed, question of clinical importance about management of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain secondary to aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Many breast cancer survivors taking AIs experience muscle and/or joint pain, which may cause many to stop taking AIs and may inhibit exercise or physical activity, despite its known health benefits. Physiotherapeutic treatment is considered a standard management strategy for many MSK pain conditions, in which targeted specific exercise therapy is now as an evidence-based management strategy with proven effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Thus, referral to physiotherapy would be a natural strategy in women who experience MSK pain as an adverse effect to AI therapy. However, it is unclear if physiotherapeutic treatment has similar effects on AI induced MSK pain as in primary MSK pain. Two systematic review (one with a meta-analysis) have assessed the effect of different pain management strategies for AI-induced MSK-pain and found great uncertainty in the effects of exercise, relaxation techniques and acupuncture. They also found limited evidence on the subject and moderate to low quality of the studies included. The evidence on the subject is clearly limited but the need for a treatment option to minimize the side-effects of the AI medication real and necessary. Targeted individualised physiotherapeutic treatment is tailored for the affected (painful) tissue/joint/region specifically and is based on extensive experience and evidence from MSK physiotherapy in rheumatic and orthopedic patient population. Targeted individualised physiotherapy treatment take into account the individual patient, her constitution, the painful tissue/region/joint (e.g. its biomechanics, physiological properties, and inflammatory activity), and is adjusted according to day-to-day variations in pain and progressed based on the interaction between changes in symptoms and function and tissue healing. Such approach is expected to yield a greater effect on MSK pain, than a generic exercise program. Further, targeted treatment programs are delivered by trained physiotherapists, who have specific clinical training and experience in clinical management of patient and handling MSK pain, which is also expected to yield better clinical outcomes than programs delivered by people without clinical training. Altogether it is very likely that a targeted physiotherapy treatment will be of significant benefit to breast cancer survivors with AI induced MSK pain. The aim is to compare targeted individualized physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care with medical care alone on aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain in female breast cancer survivors. It is hypothesized that targeted physiotherapeutic treatment and medical care reduces musculoskeletal pain significantly in women with aromatase inhibitor associated musculoskeletal pain when compared to medical care alone. The plan is to include 120 participants from the oncology department at Rigshospitalet, Denmark. Participants will partake in the study for a total of 26 weeks. During the first 12 week the intervention group will receive the physiotherapeutic treatment twice a week. The medical care visits are place at the first visit to the clinic, week 13 and week 26.
An uncontrolled pilot in which Veterans age 60-95 years with chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain will undergo Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) delivered over video teleconference (VTC; together vEAET). This study aims to obtain early implementation outcomes, as well as evaluate efficacy and estimated effect sizes.
Parkinson disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Pain is the frequent non-motor symptom that significantly compromises the quality of life, affecting 80% of patients during the course of the disease. There is currently no evidence-based treatment for PD-related pain in general. Nociceptive pain is the most frequent pain in PD an is frequently musculoskeletal in nature. Epidural spinal cord stimulation is known to provide analgesic effects in several types of pain syndromes. Here we test analgesic effects of a non-invasive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation as an add-on treatment for nociceptive (musculoskeletal) pain directly related to Parkinson disease.
Musculoskeletal pain is common and often occurs already in adolescence. To be able to target future interventions that aim to prevent new episodes of MSK pain, more studies on modifiable risk factors are necessary. In this prospective cohort study, already collected data from the Fit Futures study will be used. The aim is to investigate if perceived social acceptance among peers in the first year of high school is associated with musculoskeletal pain in the last year of high school, and if this association is moderated by psychological distress.
This feasibility study will evaluate yoga as a treatment for chronic pain in people living with Alzheimer's disease, and their Caregivers. The experimental treatment is yoga delivered via a tablet computer to participants at home ("teleyoga").
