Filter by:This single group study was conducted to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing an exercise intervention during oxaliplatin infusion across three months of oxalipatin-based chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies.10 patients were enrolled onto this study and validated questionnaires were used to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and collect patient-reported outcomes over the course of study enrollment.
The Exablate 4000 obtained CE Mark for the treatment of Neuropathic Pain in December 2012. The purpose of this post market study is to obtain real world data on the safety and performance of the Exablate treatment for neuropathic pain. The objective of this study is to capture the change in pain intensity, physical/emotional function, and pain impact for patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain who undergo an Exablate treatment.
This research aims to investigate the effect of massage on diabetic foot risk, HbA1c and physiological parameters in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This randomized controlled experimental design will be carried out in Bolu Izzet Baysal State Hospital Köroğlu Unit Internal Medicine Polyclinic and Internal Medicine Service. According to power analysis, the minimum sample size was determined as 60 people, 30 of which were in the intervention group and 30 in the control group. Data collection tools include "Peripheral Neuropathy Sign and Symptom Score", "Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)", "Glycemic Control Assessment (HbA1c)", "Physiological Parameters (blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation)", "Inlow's 60-second Diabetic Food Screen". A total of 24 massage sessions will be applied to the intervention group, 2 times a week during the 12-week working period. Participants in the control group will continue their medical treatment protocols and massage will not be applied.
At present, there are no FDA-approved treatments for chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Discrete neuro anti-inflammatory effects of metformin support its repurposing as a neuroprotective agent in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of metformin on the amelioration of paclitaxel induced neuropathy in cancer patients.
Most of the literature found on whole body vibrations(WBV) instead of focal muscle vibrations (FMV) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients. The studies found on the effects of focal vibrations could not be generalised on the huge population of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced neuropathic pain because of small sample size and due to subordinate studies i.e, pilot studies done on the focal vibrations in which 3 different modes of vibrations is used without comparing with the control group. These studies are not much valuable in literature as well as for clinical purposes due to lack of control group. As mentioned in previous studies that better results achieved with the WBV on pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathyso that the hypothesis can be made that when FMV directly applies on the focal region that may influence the pain and/or peripheral neuropathy status.
There are several mechanisms concerning pathophysiology of paclitaxel induced peripheral neuropathy. One of the main mechanisms is induction of Schwann cell dedifferentiation by paclitaxel. At the preclinical level, cilostazol potently inhibited paclitaxel-induced dedifferentiation of cultured Schwann cells, yet this positive effect have not been clinically investigated.
Adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy tend to fall more frequently than healthy population as a consequence of multiple sensorimotor and cognitive damages. In this protocol study, a randomized controlled trial is proposed using a sensorimotor intervention based on Feldenkrais method to improve somatosensory aspects and, therefore, postural control of participants.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of pentoxifylline 400 mg twice daily administration on the prevention of paclitaxel-Induced peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer patients.
Distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (DSP) is a chronic, debilitating painful condition affecting quality of life in persons living with Type 2 diabetes. Treatments prescribed to manage DSP pain, such as nonnarcotic and narcotic analgesics, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, are largely ineffective. This is a preliminary study at assessing the feasibility, efficiency and preliminary efficacy of a novel non-pharmacologic pain management approach, moxibustion, to reduce DSP pain and improve quality of life.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous (IV) lidocaine versus oral duloxetine on the onset and severity of TIPN in patient with breast cancer as well as evaluation of Patients' quality of life and estimation the cell mediated immunity. The current study is a single blinded randomized controlled study, assumed that lidocaine could prevent and reduce TIPN similar to duloxetine in patient with breast cancer. Method of randomization: The allocation sequence was generated using permuted block randomization technique and the block size was variable. Allocation sequence/code was concealed from the person allocating the participants to the intervention arms using sealed opaque envelopes. Primary outcome: Degree of neuropathic pain measured by neuropathy pain scale (NPS) among breast cancer patients on Taxane chemotherapy after the pretreatment with either lidocaine or duloxetine. Secondary outcomes are: The incidence of TIPN using DN4 questionnaire and nerve conduction study and Patients' quality of life using The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-CIPN20 as well as the Change in serum level natural killer cell to estimate cell mediated immunity.
