Filter by:Thyroid and parathyroid surgery concerns around 50 000 patients a year in France. One of its main complications is paralysis of vocal cords, and the consequences can be serious. In this study, the main gold is to evaluate diagnostic performances of ultrasound for an early diagnosis (as soon as awakening of the patient) of vocal cords paralysis in the post-operative period in order to prevent at best complications.
The main goal of this study is to identify abnormal functional and anatomical brain reorganization associated with hand, foot, and shoulder function in children (0-18 years old) with cerebral palsy (CP) due to periventricular white matter injury (PV-WMI) or brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) using a multi-modal neuroimaging approach.
The study design is a single-subject ABA clinical trial that is investigating the feasibility including adherence, safety and tolerability of metformin in children aged 5 to 18 years with cerebral palsy (CP). ABA refers to Phase A1 with no metformin, Phase B with metformin, and Phase A2 with no metformin. Secondarily, the study is exploring whether metformin has possible health benefits for improving motor function and cognition.
Evaluate if adding expiratory muscle strength training to traditional voice therapy for individuals with dysphonia due to glottal insufficiency improves maximal expiratory pressure, acoustic and aerodynamic measures (i.e. amplitude, maximum phonation time, peak expiratory flow), and voice related quality of life.
The aim of this research is to compare the effect of classic constraint-induced movement therapy and its modified form on upper extremity motor function outcomes and psychosocial impact in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Randomized controlled trials with 2-3 weeks follow-up. The sample size is 40. The subjects are divided in two groups, 20 subjects in classical CIMT group and 20 in modified CIMT group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be purposive non probability sampling technique. Only 4-12 years individual with hemiplegic cerebral palsy are included. Tools used in the study are Box and Block test, Cerebral palsy (quality of life), Kid Screen 27 and QUEST (quality of upper extremity skill test). Data will be analyzed through SPSS 21.
One of the most frequently performed peripheral nerve blocks (the injection of local anesthetic near nerves to block sensation/ movement to a specific part of the body) is the interscalene brachial plexus block for upper extremity surgeries. This type of block can unmask underlying respiratory issues such as shortness of breath due to a well-known and typically insignificant side effect of temporary diaphragmatic paralysis. The nerve block may be able to use saline solution to wash out the local anesthetic and potentially reverse this respiratory side effect. Specifically, the goal of this study is to determine if the injection of saline through the nerve block catheter reverses blockade of the phrenic nerve supplying the diaphragm, without affecting the ability of the nerve block to provide pain control after surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of 10-weeks leucine supplementation on muscle growth, metabolism, body composition, inflammation and wellbeing in adolescents and young adults with CP.
The purpose of this study is to assess validity and reliability of Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) in patients with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy
Putting 80 patients divided into group S（non-intubated general anesthesia combine with Paravertebral blocks、surface spray anesthesia and Vagus block） and group D（non-intubated general anesthesia combine with Paravertebral blocks、surface spray anesthesia、Vagus block and Phrenic block）randomly,compare the volume of anesthetic and the number of increasing anesthetic during operation were compared between the two groups.If the date of group S greater than group D，it shows that the effect of anesthetic effect of group D is better than group S.
30 one year post stroke patients with upper limb paresis will be recruited to this study. The study is an RCT consists of two groups of intervention: 1. social robot, 2. computer, and one control group with no intervention. the intervention consists of 15 therapy sessions of reach-to-grasp games of the affected upper limb.
