Filter by:The study will determine if Symphonie Aqua Digital System, a new method of socket creation, in a weight-bearing environment, may produce more successful fitting and comfortability & functional outcomes than traditional sockets (non-weight bearing scanning). Additionally, the study will determine if a well-fitting socket will positively impact the overall health of amputee residual limb.
The aim of the present pilot study is to evaluate the effect of antiperspirant to treat residual limb hyperhidrosis with the emphasis on the utility of the iodine-starch test to identify the location of the sweating.
Limb loss is frequently associated with postamputation pain that can be challenging to treat and often involves opioids. Advances in the field of neuromodulation has led to development of an intentionally reversible percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) system that has had promising results when treating chronic postamputation pain. PNS may offer sustained pain relief even after the treatment period has ended. Currently, there is no convincing evidence regarding the role of PNS in the acute postoperative period, which may be a critical time to control pain as those with higher pain appear to be at higher risk for developing persistent post-procedural pain. The investigators of this study aim to evaluate the feasibility and effects of PNS in the acute postoperative period and determine the feasibility of completing a randomized controlled treatment outcome study.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate onabotulinumtoxinA superiority to aluminium chloride for the treatment of residual limb hyperhidrosis.
