Filter by:This study is a randomized controlled trial. Subject population is adult patients with Hunner-type interstitial cystitis. The objective of this study is to compare the therapeutic effect between the two surgical modality; TUF (transurethral fulguration of the Hunner lesion) versus TUF+HD(addition of bladder hydrodistension prior to transurethral fulguration of the Hunner lesion).
This study intends to determine the effects of trigger point dry needling in patients with Patellofemoral pain Syndrome.
To investigate the effectiveness of muscle inhibition and space correction techniques of kinesiotaping (KT) method; on pain, functional status and quality of life in female patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) related to upper trapezius active trigger points (TP) in comparison to control group and to determine the advantage of each technique over another.
Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is one of the common urologic problems, nevertheless; its etiology and pathophysiology are poorly understood, with no solid guidelines for effective treatment. The beneficial health attributes of cinnamon and its derivative and components were reported by several researchers, this study is designed to illuminate the possible benefits of cinnamon on patients with Chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)
This is a randomized prospective study assessing the impact of psychosocial factors on pain and physical performance among adolescents with anterior knee pain. A set of psychosocial surveys assessing activity-related fear, stress, anxiety and depression will be completed by the participant/parents. Participants will then complete clinical tests of physical performance, numeric pain rating scale, and a self-report questionnaire of functional ability. Participants will then be randomized into one of two psychosocial intervention groups (psychologically informed education group and a control group). After participants receive their assigned education intervention, the clinical tests of pain and self-reported functional ability will be readministered. Participants with anterior knee pain will then complete follow-up surveys of their psychosocial beliefs, pain and self-reported functional ability through REDcap at immediately post-intervention, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months.
The study will investigate an association between ankle dorsiflexion and altered frontal knee kinematics during step down test in patients with PFPS.
Patients will then be randomized via a web-based randomization system Redcap Allocation will be stratified based on the presence of a pre-existing spinal cord stimulator to either the nitrous oxide study group or the oxygen control group. The nitrous oxide group will receive 50% nitrous oxide mixed with 50% oxygen, and the control group will receive 50% oxygen (oxygen plus air mixture). Both groups will undergo inhalation therapy for a duration of 2 hours via an FDA-approved mask breathing circuit. Vital signs (blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate) will be monitored every 30 minutes. Pulse oximetry monitoring will be continuous. Patients will be monitored for side effects including nausea, vomiting, desaturation, sedation, respiratory depression, and dizziness. Patients and other involved providers will be blinded to the treatment type.
Patients with myofascial pain syndrome at upper trapezius will be randomized into 2 groups, fascial injection group and subcutaneous control injection group. Pain condition pain, range of motion and function will be evaluated in 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after injection.
Mental disorders have been shown to be associated with a number of general medical conditions (also referred to as somatic or physical conditions). The investigators aim to undertake a comprehensive study of comorbidity among those with treated mental disorders, by using high-quality Danish registers to provide age- and sex-specific pairwise estimates between the ten groups of mental disorders and nine groups of general medical conditions. The investigators will examine the association between all 90 possible pairs of prior mental disorders and later GMC categories using the Danish national registers. Depending on whether individuals are diagnosed with a specific mental disorder, the investigators will estimate the risk of receiving a later diagnosis within a specific GMC category, between the start of follow-up (January 1, 2000) or at the earliest age at which a person might develop the mental disorder, whichever comes later. Follow-up will be terminated at onset of the GMC, death, emigration from Denmark, or December 31, 2016, whichever came first. Additionally for dyslipidemia, follow-up will be ended if a diagnosis of ischemic heart disease was received. A "wash-out" period will be employed in the five years before follow-up started (1995-1999), to identify and exclude prevalent cases from the analysis. Individuals with the GMC of interest before the observation period will be considered prevalent cases and excluded from the analyses (i.e. prevalent cases were "washed-out"). When estimating the risk of a specific GMC, the investigators will consider all individuals to be exposed or unexposed to the each mental disorder depending on whether a diagnosis is received before the end of follow-up. Persons will be considered unexposed to a mental disorder until the date of the first diagnosis, and exposed thereafter.
This study evaluates if the application of resistive capacitive monopolar radiofrequency therapy associated with physiotherapeutic techniques and pain education provides benefits with respect to physiotherapy and pain education techniques alone in the management of patients with chronic pelvic pain.
