Filter by:Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is one of the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathies of the lower limbs. It is characterized by paresthesia, pain, tingling, numbness, hypersensitivity, or other abnormal skin sensations on the anterolateral aspect of the thigh. The condition results from compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) along its course, often occurring as the nerve exits the pelvis.The injection of 5% dextrose (D5W) under ultrasound guidance is a novel treatment method for peripheral nerve entrapment. However, there is limited evidence about the efficacy of this method for patients with MP. The investigators found D5W was more safe and effective than corticosteroids for patients with MP. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the 6-month efficacy of ultrasound-guided injection of D5W for MP patients.
The investigators would like to conduct a pilot study prior to a practical randomized control study on the effectiveness of initial MSAT treatment on inpatients complaining of radiating pain and abnormal sensation in the lower extremities caused by traffic accidents.
To describe the incidence and severity of Paresthesia in Hand and Antebrachium in patients that have undergone CardiacSurgery.
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of a corticosteroid administered to the psoas muscle following a transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) on postoperative hip flexor weakness and thigh pain and numbness.
This prospective cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between mandibular canal trajectory and the duration of postoperative paresthesia in patients undergoing inferior alveolar nerve lateralization. The study will assess mandibular canal trajectory using anatomic factors and evaluate nerve sensory function using subjective and objective tests. Implant success criteria will also be assessed. The study will be conducted on patients who underwent IANL due to mandibular atrophy and were unable to receive standard or short implant placement. Data will be collected at regular follow-up visits up to 1-year post-surgery.
The study included 24 patients with written and verbal consent Results with close proximity to IAN diagnosed based on radiographs and evaluation on the criteria of Howe, and Poyton were selected and divided into two groups by lottery method into coronectomy and coronectomy with root canal treatment following coronectomy groups. Patients were re-evaluated on three weeks for complications and three months follow-ups for radiographic evaluations of root-fragment migration
Nitrous oxide has become an increasingly popular recreational drug amongst young people, particularly at festivals, nightclubs and parties. Considering the drug is not illegal to possess, has low cost in the form of 'whippets' and can be easily purchased online, it has become the second most commonly used recreational drug amongst people aged 16-24 in the UK. However, nitrous oxide is known to irreversibly inactivate the functioning of vitamin B12, a vitamin required for the maintenance and proper functioning of nerves in the spinal cord. Neurological symptoms in this population have been reported in around 3.4% of nitrous oxide users, although the true incidence is expected to be higher as the cases being reported by UK hospitals continues to rise. Patients may present with adverse neurological symptoms like tingling, weakness, coordination and mobility problems. Currently, studies reviewing the functional recovery of these patients have been limited by a retrospective study design, short follow up duration and being limited to small cohort sizes. This is in part linked to patient non-compliance and non-attendance at follow-up appointments. The investigators will therefore prospectively recruit all patients presenting with these symptoms and continue to collect data relating to their neurological recovery for 12 months. Data collection will be remote to ensure it is of low burden to the participants. This will allow the investigating team and others to fully appraise the severity of these toxic neuropathies and understand how best to manage their follow up.
Study type: Prospective, double-blinded, double arm, cross-over, randomized controlled clinical trial. Brief protocol: Postoperative week 0-2 -> Conventional parameters (parameters tested during trial period) Postoperative week 2-6 -> Sham stimulation (2 weeks) and paresthesia-free stimulation (2 weeks) double-blind crossover design Postoperative week 6 - month 12 -> Parameters that patients feel more benefit from
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride Tablets compared with placebo after 24 weeks, in chinese patients with paresthesia caused by Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).
Goals. To evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on paresthesia and myofunctional changes in patients undergoing bimaxillary orthognathic surgery and mentoplasty. Methodology: this is a controlled, randomized, blinded clinical trial. The sample will consist of 62 individuals in each group (general sample = 124 participants). Therefore, 124 young adults, aged between 18 and 50 years, both sexes, with at least 24 teeth, with Class II or III skeletal malocclusion, diagnosed by cephalometric radiographs, who underwent orthognathic surgery in the period from 1 to 30 days before the start of physical therapy, be available to perform the proposed postoperative treatment for six weeks. Participants will be equally and randomly distributed into two experimental groups: GF (Physiotherapy Group), GFE (Physiotherapy plus Electroacupuncture Group). The variables to be studied will be: socioepidemiological data; sensitivity assessment by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test; Edema assessment by the MD Anderson Cancer Center Head and Neck Lymphedema protocol, validated in Portuguese; assessment of mandibular movements using a Western-DC digital caliper; Assessment of masticatory function using the Chewing Quality Assessment Questionnaire. Data will be analyzed descriptively and organized into tables. Subsequently, the normality of continuous variables will be tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. As the variables are normally distributed, we will use parametric tests such as the paired t test, independent t test, ANOVA and Pearson's correlation. Nonparametric tests such as Wilcoxon paired signed rank test, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Spearman correlation test will be used in case of non-normality of continuous variables. The significance level will be adjusted to 5% in all analyses.
