NCT ID: NCT02814513 Completed - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Disorders

Feasibility of the ANDAGO System in Pediatric Neurorehabilitation

Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this feasibility study, the researchers would like to investigate whether it is feasible to apply the ANDAGO V2.0, a new mobile robot for body-weight supported gait training (developed by Hocoma AG) to children and adolescents undergoing neurorehabilitation. The investigators will explore several outcomes and will compare some outcomes between the children and adolescents when they walk in the ANDAGO or with their regular walking aids.

NCT ID: NCT02609802 Completed - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Disorders

The Different Analgesic Potency of Volatile Anesthetics at Equi-MAC

Start date: November 2015
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the difference of analgesic potency of sevoflurane and desflurane at equi-minimum alveolar concentration using a surgical pleth index.

NCT ID: NCT02560155 Completed - Clinical trials for Surgical Site Infection

Preoperative Decolonization and Surgical Site Infections - a Prospective Randomized Trial

DECO-SSI
Start date: November 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical site infections are a major postoperative complication and are mostly due to colonization with endogenous germs, like Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis or Propionibacterium acnes. In literature, preoperative decolonization procedures showed a trend in lowering surgical site infection rates, but especially in orthopedic surgery data is controversial and randomized controlled trials are lacking. In the main study, the study investigators aim at performing a controlled prospective randomized interventional trial to measure the impact of preoperative decolonization of nasal Staphylococcus aureus carriers on surgical site infection rates in orthopedic surgery. In an alongside study a controlled prospective randomized interventional trial to measure the impact of preoperative skin decolonization of patients undergoing an orthopedic procedure will be conducted.

NCT ID: NCT02468934 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Electrical Stimulation for the Treatment of Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) Using the SPRINT System

Start date: October 22, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation (small levels of electricity) can safely and effectively reduce pain following total knee replacement (or total knee arthroplasty (TKA)). This study involves a device called the SPRINT System. The SPRINT System delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the leg that received the knee replacement. The SPRINT System includes a small wire (called a "lead") that is placed through the skin in the upper leg. It also includes a device worn on the body that delivers stimulation (called the SPRINT Stimulator).

NCT ID: NCT02468154 Completed - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Disorders

Efficacy of Leg Casts With Heel Off-loaded in Children

Start date: November 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Assess whether by placing a "custom made" splint with heel in the immediate postoperative period until removal of the cast, the rate of pain, the number of healthcare interventions to maintain the off-loaded heel position and number of pressure sores in children wearing lower limb plaster casts is reduced.

NCT ID: NCT02451813 Completed - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Disorders

The Relationship Between Needle Position and Injection Pressure During Femoral Nerve Block

Start date: October 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recent evidence suggests that injection pressure monitoring may be able to predict needle nerve contact in the brachial plexus nerve block model, but little is known about multifascicular nerves. The investigators hypothesize that injection pressure monitoring can reliably predict needle-nerve contact during femoral nerve block.

NCT ID: NCT02301832 Completed - Tibial Fractures Clinical Trials

Reliability of Sensor Spacing for NIRS in Traumatic Tibia Fractures

Start date: December 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This is a study intended to evaluate a non-invasive device that uses light to measure the amount of oxygen in the muscles of injured and non-injured legs in specific situations. The name of this technology is NIRS (near-infrared spectroscopy). The goal of this study is to collect the information necessary to understand the use of the NIRS monitoring system to diagnose and direct treatment decisions in case of complications sometimes experienced in traumatic tibia fracture, such as excessive swelling called acute compartment syndrome (ACS).

NCT ID: NCT02221115 Completed - Trauma Clinical Trials

A Survey of Google Glass by Orthopaedic Trauma Patients and Surgeons

GoogleGlass
Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients seen in the Orthopaedic Trauma clinic will be asked to consent for potential video/picture recording using the Google Glass device during their visit with the orthopaedic surgeon or resident. The investigators want to record the patient's level of acceptance and response to this new technology. There are two arms: Patients seen by a doctor wearing the Google Glass device and those that will not be exposed. Both groups will be asked to complete a survey after their clinic visit. The device users (doctor) will complete a survey which will evaluate how effective this new tool is in the Orthopaedic clinical setting.

NCT ID: NCT01999647 Completed - Foot Diseases Clinical Trials

Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Local Anesthetic Injection Into or Around the Sciatic Nerve for Lower Limb Anesthesia

Start date: December 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study was designed to assess whether the injection of local anesthetic into the nerve (intraneural), as opposed to around it (perineural), requires a shorter time to develop surgical anesthesia of the lower leg. The investigators will compare the two types of injection using the same drug, so as to determine if there is an actual difference onset time. They will also examine the overall success rate of either kind of sciatic nerve blocks as the sole anesthetic for non-emergent orthopedic surgery. The safety of these procedures will be examined by in-hospital and phone-call follow-up contacts.

NCT ID: NCT00616837 Completed - Clinical trials for Orthopedic Disorders

Remote Orthopedic Outpatient Consultation by Help of Telemedicine

Start date: November 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients from 4 local communities in northern Norway referred (either new or follow up) to orthopaedic department, University hospital of Northern Norway for outpatient consultation, are randomly assigned to either remote consultation by use of telemedicine (camera and screen), or standard consultation at the hospital. There are x-ray facilities also at the remote site. The patients randomized to telemedicine consultation meet special trained nurses at the remote site, but doctor only by video conference. The patients will be followed for up to one year. The primary endpoint is quality of care achieved with the telemedicine consultation as compared to standard outpatient consultation (assessed by questionnaires filled out by the doctor involved). Secondary end points are patient satisfaction assessed by questionnaires and economic analyses. The study hypothesis is non-inferiority of telemedicine consultation vs. conventional, outpatient consultation.
