The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare pain, mouth opening, and alveolar osteitis following surgical extraction of bilateral symmetrical impacted lower third molars using two types of wound closures. Collagen plugs will be applied in the sockets of the study side followed by suture, while the controlled side will be sutured without a collagen plug. The study will include 40 patients aged between 18- 40 years old, medically fit (ASA1), who have bilateral symmetrical impacted lower third molars and visit the oral surgery clinics of King Saud Medical City for extraction. The main question is" Does intra-alveolar collagen application after surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars reduce the incidence of alveolar osteitis?
Athletic osteitis pubis is a pathologic entity that can cause functional impairment. Scientific evidence have noticed that athletes experiment pain and a decrease on strength. Moreover, this symptomathology can affect daily life and functionality. There is no scientific evidence about the influence of manual therapy (MT) as a single treatment to improve this condition. The investigators decided to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of a MT technique with placebo technique.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate fusion of the SI joint(s) and any reduction in VAS pain scores in a prospective cohort of patients utilizing the SiJoin® Transfixing Sacroiliac Fusion Device in patients that received sacroiliac fusion, without ancillary stabilization devices.
Athletic osteitis pubis is a high prevalent pathology among athletes, especially in those who make quick change of direction of the movement, like runners or footballers. Despite the fact that there is evidence about conservative treatments, there is a lack of evidence about manual therapy (MT) techniques applied in isolation and its consequences in pain and range of movement. The investigators decided to conduct a randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of a MT technique with placebo technique.
Alveolar osteitis, commonly referred to as dry socket, is a common painful postoperative complication following tooth extraction. It is defined as pain in and around an extraction socket which increases at any time between one and three days following extraction, accompanied by partial or total loss of the blood clot from the socket, with or without halitosis (Blum, 2002). The incidence of the complication varies from 1-5% for routine extractions up to approximately 30% for third molar extractions. There are a variety of factors that contribute to the incidence of dry socket including tissue trauma, smoking in the early postoperative period and the oral contraceptive pill. Although it is a self- limiting condition, symptoms can be very debilitating for patients and therefore following diagnosis, immediate treatment should be provided to expedite resolution and to their improve quality of life during the healing period. Treatment options for dry socket vary from rinsing of the socket, regular analgesia and sometimes placement of an obtundent, sedative dressing such as Alveogyl or a zinc oxide eugenol alternative. This study will aim to compare two treatments for patients who present with alveolar osteitis (dry socket) to Dublin Dental University Hospital after tooth extraction. Following randomisation, one of two treatment modalities will be used, either a experimental treatment (Bio-PRF) or a positive control (Alveogyl). The results of this study will enable us to learn more about the efficacy of these treatment options for dry socket and how they affect patients.
The proposed study will use a PROM (Patient report Outcome Measurement)-tool in combination with clinical and biochemical data to train and validate a Relapse Prediction Model for individual patients.
Osteitis of the cranial flap after craniectomy is an unknown complex osteoarticular infection and there are few data concerning its epidemiology, its risk factors, and its management.
Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare autoinflammatory bone disease in children. Studies evaluating the quality of life of patients with CRMO are small and heterogeneous. A better understanding of the impact of the disease on the quality of life of adult patients with CRMO beginning in childhood would allow better long-term management of these patients. Our study aims are to assess the clinical and socio-professional outcomes of adult patients who started CRMO at pediatric age.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the intestinal tract. Common types of IBD include Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and indeterminate colitis. Infliximab (Remicade®) is a biologic medication that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of IBD. Previous research with infliximab has shown it to be an effective treatment for pediatric IBD, however, it can become less effective if the level of the medication in the body is not high enough or if a patient develops antibodies (proteins made by the immune system that attack foreign substances in the body) to the medication. Currently, if a patient with IBD is taking infliximab and develops either abnormal lab values or reports a worsening of symptoms the doctors will measure the level of infliximab in the blood as well as any infliximab antibodies to determine if dosing changes, to either the dose of the medication or the frequency of dosing, are needed. This process is called reactive drug monitoring. The purpose of this research study is to find out if proactive drug monitoring in patients being treated with infliximab for IBD works better for controlling IBD. Proactive drug monitoring is measuring the level of infliximab in the blood as well as infliximab antibodies on a regular basis, before symptoms worsen or lab results come back abnormal, to see if dosing changes can be made that may prevent the worsening of IBD.
