Filter by:There is currently no real consensus on the optimal management of acute sprains of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the long fingers. The aim of this study is to assess the beneficial effect of an injection of corticosteroids for the treatment of this type of sprain (one single sub-cutaneous injection, in the acute phase). This treatment, if effective, might become the treatment of choice for these types of injuries, instead of a prolonged immobilization or a careful early mobilization.
sports accidents and incidents are relatively frequent. We hypothesize that the pursuit of good hydration, including days without training or competition could prevent their occurrence
The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of patient outcomes following rehabilitation. This includes functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. It includes measures of general health as well along with activities of daily living and behavioral health aspects. Measures of quality and satisfaction and use of Net Promoter Scores also are included. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of patients and their associated outcomes. This is a unique milestone in rehabilitative care and will act to inform and direct evidence-based approaches and treatment guidelines. Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process—that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use. Subsequent reporting can be risk adjusted to any variable collected which yields robust insights as to idiopathic patient conditions. However, no PHI information will be available.
Ortheses are commonly used for the repair of damage to the musculoskeletal system. However, immobility, by itself, causes serious side effects that require long and costly rehabilitation. The Sensory Feedback Ortheses allow to artificially maintain the proprioceptive and tactile flow in order to maintain the activity of their host brain areas and thus reduce significantly the usual therapy duration. The clinical study Orthosens will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Sensory Feedback Ortheses.
Transdel Pharmaceuticals is investigating a topical cream formulation consisting of 10% ketoprofen for the local treatment of pain associated with mild to moderate acute soft tissue injury in this confirmatory Phase 3 trial.
The aim of the study is to measure the effectiveness of treatment over 7 days with commonly used anti-inflammatory medications namely etoricoxib and diclofenac (Voltaren) on reducing the severity of pain, swelling and loss of function (range of movement, proprioception) arising from a mild to moderate sprain (partial tear) of the lateral (outer) ligaments of the ankle joint. This injury is commonly known as an ankle sprain.
Imprimis Pharmaceuticals is investigating a proprietary, topical cream formulation consisting of 10% ketoprofen (containing 100 mg of ketoprofen in 1gram of cream) for the local treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain.
To determine whether valdecoxib 40 mg twice a day the first day and then 40mg once a day until Day 7, was at least as effective as diclofenac 75 mg twice a day for 7 days, in treating acute first or second degree ankle sprain. The study also compared valdecoxib and diclofenac with respect to time to onset of pain relief (measured after the first dose), tolerability (adverse events) and time to return to Normal Function/Activity, among other measures.
The overall aim of this project is to determine the effect of a tibiofibular joint manipulation on the neuromuscular response of the fibularis longus and soleus muscles in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Another aim of this study is to determine the long term effects of a tibiofibular joint manipulation on range of motion and self-reported function. We hypothesize that a manipulation applied at the distal tibiofibular joint will result in greater muscle activation, improved functional dorsiflexion ROM, and increases in FAAM scores compared to a tibiofibular joint manipulation applied at the proximal joint. We further hypothesize that both distal and proximal tibiofibular joint manipulations will result in greater muscle activation, improved functional dorsiflexion ROM, and increases in FAAM scores than no treatment at all.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a ketoprofen topical patch on the pain associated with ankle sprain or strain.
