Filter by:The aims of this study is to investigate sono-guided shoulder steroid injection combined with Kinesiotaping applications in reducing shoulder pain, improving functional performance on upper extremity and quality of life in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain.
Problems related to the shoulder are frequently seen in the society. Many methods are used to evaluate these problems. One of the most frequently used methods is self-report scales. When the shoulder-oriented self-report scales in the literature are examined, methods such as Visual Analog Scale, Numeric Scale and Likert Scale are used more frequently. In the literature, there is no scale that seeks clear answers as yes/no by grading shoulder-oriented activities. We would like to contribute to the literature by developing a scale that uses such a scaling method. All of the shoulder-oriented self-report scales used in Turkey were developed by cultural adaptation. In our study, it was aimed to develop an easy-to-understand scale that includes items with high social intelligibility and offers a new scaling method.
Mini-optics has been used in orthopedics for a short time. The Nanoscope used in this study is marketed by Arthrex. Its main indications concern knee, elbow, wrist, carp and small joints of long fingers for diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic purposes. Some teams use it to replace expensive radiological examinations and/or difficult to access, in consultation, for diagnostic in the knee, but also for therapeutic for partial meniscectomy with several related publications. The investigators recently published a feasibility study of isolated tenotomy of the biceps with this minimally invasive device in consultation (first indexed article describing this technique). This project is part of the broader context of "In Office" surgery, for which there are many applications. Through the miniaturisation of optics and access to "portable" technologies, surgical procedures can now be performed in consultation ("In Office"). For example: release of the carpal tunnel or ulnar canal to the elbow under ultrasound, partial meniscectomy, removal of foreign body from the elbow in consultation. Indeed, in addition to the technical interest of this innovation for a simple and frequent surgical procedure, it should make it possible to transpose anxiety management for the patient, time-consuming and costly for the institution into a heavy technical platform (operating room) towards a simplified, fast and streamlined approach in consultation. In the scientific literature, other equivalent surgical procedures have already been identified and performed in consultation with various tools (carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve in the elbow, meniscectomy in the knee but also in other surgical specialties such as cataract in ophthalmology) with better patient satisfaction, improved patient journey, reduced costs, an increase in the number of patients treated. The investigators wish to demonstrate the non-inferiority of intraarticular tenotomy of the biceps long head performed in consultation with mini-optics and local anaesthesia compared to the operating room in order to modify practices and optimize the management of patients within the institution while improving their satisfaction.
The aim of this study; To evaluate the effect of hot application on postlaparoscopic shoulder pain and analgesic use in patients undergoing upper laparoscopic surgery in general surgery.
Investigators propose a research design protocol to evaluate the efficacy of laser acupuncture in improving shoulder pain and improving shoulder function recovery after stroke.
A previous study of the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (EPOLTEST) in a population aged 18 to 25 years isolated 3 main factors influencing the CKCUEST score: upper extremity span, weight, and sex of the individual. A predictive equation for the CKCUEST score was thus established and to date has a capacity to determine the real score of approximately 51%. The results of this first study show that a certain number of variables have not been studied. The purpose of this study, EPOLTEST 2, is to take into account the variables already studied on a larger population (18-50 years old) and to add an assessment of shoulder muscle strength and abdominolumbar endurance.
Patients have different response to different treatment modalities, and sore/pain medicine is no exception. In our experience, low-level laser (LLL), ultrasound, and prolotherapy can reduce sore /pain through different genetic pathway. Whether the therapeutic effect is controlled by the genetic variants of those sore /pain related genes or not, is still in debate. The aims of this study are (1) To find genetic SNPs which can determine the response of sore /pain treatment modalities. (2) To find possible metabolomics and proteomic markers of sore /pain. (3) To determine the algorithm of precision medicine for sore /pain control via the genetic markers. Investigators will recruit 80 myofascial pain patients from Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, National Taiwan University Hospital Bei-Hu Branch in 2021 and 2022. The participants will receive LLL, ultrasound, and prolotherapy, and the therapeutic effect will be recorded. The blood and urine samples from the first, the second, and the third visits will be analyzed by next generation sequencing, and mass spectrometry to find the possible biomarker in 2023 and 2024. Investigators expect to develop the individualized treatment plan by means of these biomarkers. Hopefully, the results will be widely applied in the field of sore /pain medicine.
This study was planned to determine the effect of hot application applied to patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy on shoulder pain and physiological parameters (blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, pain score, oxygen saturation. The hypothesis of the study: To see the effect of hot application and its effect on physiological parameters after hot application in individuals who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The population of the study will consist of patients who were admitted to the OMU SUVAM General Surgery Service and underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The sample of the study will consist of individuals who have undergone 84 laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations, who agreed to participate in the study, and who met the criteria for inclusion in the study, between the specified dates. The sample size of the study was determined in the G*Power 3.1.9.4 program by considering Cohen's standard effect sizes. Effect size was calculated based on 0.25, Type I error 0.05, Type II error 0.20 (80% power) and 38 patients were calculated for each group, but considering data loss, it was aimed to reach 10% more, with 42 patients for each group and 84 patients in total. Which group the individuals in the sample group would be in was determined by randomization, and a randomization table was created over two groups. In the study, data will be collected using the Patient Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Physiological Parameter Form. The patients in the intervention group will be treated with hot water bags twice, for 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the evening, to the shoulder area, starting four hours after the operation, until the patient is discharged. When the individuals in the control group have pain, analgesic drug treatment will be applied at the request of the physician, and no other intervention will be applied.
The post-stroke survivors suffered from shoulder pain are very common. The investigators performed Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN). This experiment used a randomized controlled trial to assess the immediate, short-term and long-term effects of Fu's subcutaneous needling therapy on hemiplegic shoulder pain in patient with stroke.
The glenohumeral joint is an articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the head of the humerus that is enclosed by a synovial capsule divided into three main components: anterior, posterior, and the axillary pouch. Symptoms of posterior capsule tightness are linked to altered shoulder biomechanics and impairments which includes glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, incomplete glenohumeral adduction, impaired inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) function, and increased risk of impingement symptoms. In the literature the two techniques available for stretching posterior capsule are pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and sleeper stretch. Pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is therapist administered and sleeper stretch is patient-administered. The work on the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is more specified and rational to mark the tightness in the posterior capsule.
