Filter by:This was an open-label, single-centre, parallel-group clinical investigation, to evaluate the effectiveness and in-use tolerability of a range of four orthotic insoles on target areas of pain in the lower body, associated with musculoskeletal stress, experienced by those who spend most of their working day on their feet
The study investigates both the effects and the experienced value of the mobile application, MIRA, which is a combination of an electronic diary, a dialogue tool and a decision support tool. The individual user registers real-time data reported in a mobile application, e.g. pain, sleep, mood, social activities, work-related activities, based on the goals and condition of the individual user. In this study, users are citizens participating in vocational rehabilitation due to long term sick leave. The purpose of MIRA is to support a positive and trustful relationship between the citizen and the professional, and to enhance user involvement and shared decision making in the course of rehabilitation. This happens through promotion of the citizens knowledge and understanding of their own health condition and increase his or her self-efficacy, i.e. their ability to cope with their health condition at work and in everyday life. The study uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, analysed both individually and in combination, where findings of the different methods are combined to provide a deeper understanding of the positive and negative effects of using MIRA in vocational rehabilitation. In this way the study investigates both the effect of applying a digital tool, such as MIRA, on a number of quantifiable measures (using questionnaires), and at the same time the study explores what works for whom and why using qualitative and combined methods. In this way, the study aims to contribute with knowledge in a balanced manner, regarding the pros and cons of using digital tools with real-time self-reported data in rehabilitation. The study aim will be fulfilled through the following sub-purposes: 1. To investigate the effect of using MIRA in a course of vocational rehabilitation in relation to the citizens' self-efficacy for pain and work and their experience of shared decision-making in the course of rehabilitation. 2. To investigate the citizens' experience with and perception of using a digital tool like MIRA in their course of rehabilitation. 3. To investigate the professionals' experience with and perception of using a digital tool like MIRA in the course of rehabilitation. 4. To investigate the mechanisms of effect of MIRA (i.e. what works for whom and why), through and integrated analysis of the findings of sub-purpose 1-3.
Persistent pain may lead to several alterations in the brain activity and sensory perception (i.e. pain). Around 80% of professional musicians experience prolonged episodes of musculoskeletal pain throughout their careers, a percentage that is four times higher than in the general population. With this background, the intended experiment aims at understanding the role of several biological factors associated to sensorimotor training that can lead to alteration of the brain activity and, consequently, pain processing.
To investigate the efficacy of the footstrike pattern transition from rearfoot to midfoot / forefoot pattern compared to lower limb muscle strengthening exercises and lumbar spine region on decreasing the intensity of chronic musculoskeletal pain in cadets from Naval School. Methods: A randomized controlled trial with blind evaluator and allocation of participants in three parallel groups will be performed. Participating in the study, 81 cadets of the Naval Academy of Rio de Janeiro, between 18 and 24 years of age with chronic musculoskeletal pain in the lower limbs or in the lumbar region and who have the rearfoot as footstrike pattern. Participants will be randomly assigned into the following groups: (1) footstrike pattern transition from rearfoot to midfoot / forefoot; (2) muscle strengthening of the lower limbs and lower back; and (3) usual treatment group. Primary treatment outcomes will be pain and specific disability measured twelve weeks after randomization. Secondary treatment outcomes will be pain and specific disability measured six and nine months after randomization. An intention-to-treat analysis will be performed using mixed linear models to compare outcomes between groups.
This study examines the diagnostic accuracy of the clinical examination as compared to MRI findings
The primary objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of 2 analgesic strategies, based on percutaneous cryotherapy plus medical supportive care versus medical supportive care alone in the treatment of cancer patients with painful musculoskeletal metastasis.
To determine the safety and efficacy of single intra-operative treatment of Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype E (EB-001) intramuscular (IM) injections into the Rectus Abdominus (RA) in participants undergoing abdominoplasty.
1. Examine the use of low level therapeutic laser (LLLT) combined with physical therapy for improvements in pain, range of motion, and function in individuals with chronic pain from musculoskeletal conditions. 2. Compare changes in pain, mobility, and ability to return to home/work/recreational activities between treatments with standard physical therapy plus LLLT or the standard physical therapy program alone.
Each day orthopaedic surgeons worldwide treat patients with musculoskeletal pain. But little evidence exists about orthopaedic patient understanding of the common methods of managing musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, it is our aim to determine which discussion method best improves patient comprehension of common methods of managing pain.
Human clinical trial to measure the effect of long duration therapeutic ultrasound on tendon injuries. The hypothesis is that use of long duration ultrasound will relieve pain, increase tendon strength, and improve quality of life for patients with tendon injury.
