Filter by:The aim of the study is to evaluate, with a small-scale pilot study, the efficacy of Meditation Relaxation therapy for Sleep Paralyses in patients with narcolepsy. The study involves two arms, with intervention with Meditation Relaxation therapy or sham over a period of three months.
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effect of non-invasive repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor control in progressive supranuclear (PSP). The central hypothesis is that augmenting cerebellar inhibition via cerebellar rTMS will decrease postural instability in patients with PSP. We will use functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine changes in motor and premotor cortical activity after cerebellar rTMS.
Larynx performs important functions of the aero-digestive tract, it has vital role in control of breathing, phonation, deglutition and protection of lower respiratory tract from aspiration. Vocal cord paralysis is a common and at times debilitating laryngeal dysfunction that has great social and economic impact on patients life. Medialization thyroplasty (MT), if done accurately and up to the expectations of the patient is very rewarding. However different materials with some modifications in the technique of the classical Isshiki type 1 thyroplasty is in practice, each with its own profile of benefits and disadvantages. Most of them are costly and out of reach of general population. In this regard, we aim to test a prolene mesh implant, which is easily available and can be placed with relative ease.
Detailed description of immune response and its dynamics in sepsis and septic shock patiens by means of transcriptomics, flow-cytometry and cytokine analysis.
Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial palsy) is the most common peripheral lesion of the cranial nerves and the most common mono-neuropathy. Therapeutic ultrasound (US) is among the commonly used physical modalities for treating musculoskeletal disorders. The effects of US are due to alteration of cell membrane activity, vascular wall permeability and facilitation of tissue healing. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pulsed US treatment in patients with Bell's palsy when added to superficial heating, massage and exercise therapies.
Cerebral palsy (CP), which is the largest group of patients among pediatric neuromuscular diseases, is a non-progressive permanent disorder that affects muscle control, movement, posture and balance. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP.Children with CP were included in the study according to the following criteria; aged 5-12 years, diagnosed as spastic diplegia or hemiplegia , having a level of "I, II, III" according to GMFCS. Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. Trunk control was evaluated with Trunk Control Measurement Scale,Motor performance of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88. ICC values for photographic posture analysis was found to be highly reliable.
There is strong evidence that recent intensive interventions based on motor skill learning principles are efficient on functional and neuroplastic changes of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Besides, impaired selective voluntary motor control (SVMC) is one of four interrelated neuromuscular deficits in children with CP and is listed in the ICF-CY (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth) under body functions. Additionally, impaired SVMC has been shown to negatively affect the motor and functional abilities of children with CP. However, there have been little scientific investigations on the trainability of SVMC according to therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the effect of Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) on the body function and structures of children with bilateral and unilateral cerebral palsy, including SVMC and brain structure.
Recent research has shown that interventions with assistive technologies lead to an improvement in the motor and functional abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP). REAtouch® is a new interactive interface based on motor skill learning principles. Its efficiency during intensive motor skill learning interventions has never been tested in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the efficiency of using a virtual reality tool to provide a motor skill learning intervention in a randomized trial.
Children with cerebral palsy have an increased risk of hip dislocation, which is a painful and severe complication of cerebral palsy. The 20-years evaluation of the Swedish surveillance programme shows that hip dislocation in children with cerebral palsy can be prevented with regular clinical and radiographic examination and early intervention. We would like to determine the individual risk for hip displacement for Danish children with CP in The Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Program. This could be a valuable clinical tool in deciding on further follow-up and treatment.
The aim is to describe the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy in Denmark. Furthermore, we want to focus on status of the children's hips.
