Filter by:Patients who have undergone lower limb or knee surgery are often required to participate in rehabilitative exercises to regain or maximise movement and function in the affected leg. Physiotherapy interventions for rehabilitation can be painful, uncomfortable, and tedious, reducing compliance and limiting the movement and function achieved by the patient. Clinical studies have reported improvements in pain, compliance and outcomes by incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) into care. Evidence suggests that more Immersive VR (IVR) is effective in rehabilitation, while being cost-effective, with few adverse side-effects. Previous research by this team with adult burn patients and paediatric upper limb rehabilitation patients indicate that IVR could help reduce pain, increase compliance and improve care experiences and outcomes. The objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility and perceived impact of the Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) intervention as a tool in physiotherapy rehabilitation for children (aged 11-16) after lower limb or knee surgery.
The IVR games have been enhanced to include more levels. The new aspects to be tested in this study are new IVR exercises that would be made upper limb rehab designed for children for home use, as repeated sessions with progression through different levels could improve the prospect of good functional recovery. A new wireless headset has recently become available, which will enable the IVR to be run without the need for separate equipment, thereby making home use possible as no complicated set-up will be required. This project aims to explore the feasibility, acceptability and perceived effectiveness of an improved suite of Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) system suitable for Upper Limb Motor Impairment (ULMI) rehabilitation for children at home. A multidirectional perspective has been adopted, including patients, caregivers, and clinical staff. The aims and objectives of the clinical feasibility trial are: - to investigate the potential of IVR for ULMI rehabilitation (range of motion recovery) at home compared to usual physical therapy in a small sample of paediatric patients. - to measure the impact of the interventions from a mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) and a multidirectional perspective (patients, clinicians, family members).
To evaluate the efficacy of different techniques for the reduction of dental anxiety in pediatric patients. Generally, anxiety amongst paediatric patients is higher as compared to adult patients. So different modalities are used by the dentists in order to reduce the anxiety of such patient to help to make treatment procedures easier and optimal.
Upper abdominal surgeries are associated with severe postoperative pain. Thus, maintaining effective postoperative analgesia in the paediatric age group is very crucial in terms of future pain perception and chronic pain development. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is an interfascial plane block characterized by its ease of application and low complication rates with the introduction of ultrasonography. The aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effects of ESPB in this particular age-group.
Pain is considered to be subjective, however in children it is believed to be felt rather than expressed, because they often depend on the caregiver for their safety and well-being. There is significant pain after thoracotomy surgery because of pleural and muscular damage, ribcage disruption, and intercostal nerve damage during surgery, which if not effectively managed, it will lead to various systemic complications; pulmonary (atelectasis, pneumonia, and stasis of bronchial secretions), cardiovascular (increased oxygen consumption and tachycardia), musculoskeletal (muscle weakness), increased neuro-hormonal response and prolonged hospital stay. So adequate and sufficient post-operative analgesia for paediatric patients is mandatory. The use of highly potent opioids for paediatric cardiac anaesthesia has gained widespread popularity during the last 20 years.In addition to the important advantage of hemodynamic stability, the large-dose opioid-based anaesthetic techniques also blunt the stress response, However, large doses can cause oversedation, respiratory depression, and prolonged mechanical ventilation after surgery. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB), recently developed by Forero et al, is a novel technique in management of thoracic neuropathic pain guided by ultrasound. It became popular because it is much safer and easily administered than other alternative regional techniques as thoracic paravertebral and thoracic epidural block. To our knowledge, Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) performed in aortic coarcitectomy operations has not been investigated yet.This has encouraged the performance of the present study.
Objectives: The new approach of pediatric esthetic dentistry intended to achieve a healthy beautiful smile rather than achieving only a beautiful smile. The objective of this study was to assess the clinical performance of ceramic Endocrowns and Zirconia crowns for the restoration of pulpotomized primary molars and parental satisfaction toward these crowns. Study design: Randomized clinical trial/split mouth design compared the clinical outcomes of two coronal restorations, on patients with bilateral carious second primary molars restoring one side with Endocrown (IPS e.max Press) and the other side with zirconia crown. Children attended Nahda University; Faculty of Dentistry clinics who need restorations screened for inclusion criteria till 20 patients are recruited (20 teeth for zirconia crown restorations and 20 for Endocrowns restorations). All children fulfilled the inclusion criteria were evaluated for factors including restoration integrity, marginal adaptation, marginal discoloration, oral health and overall clinical success at 3,6,12 months while parental satisfaction at 12 months follow up..
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of colestilan (MCI-196) in paediatric subjects (aged 2 years to <18 years) with CKD stages 3b to 5, diagnosed with hyperphosphataemia, who are not on dialysis.
The Primary Objectives of this study are to assess the long-term efficacy of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy) and to assess the long-term safety of treatment with colestilan (MCI-196) (including combination therapy).
The Primary Objective of this study is to determine the initial starting doses of colestilan (MCI-196) in paediatric subjects with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5 on Dialysis and with Hyperphosphataemia.
