Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare healthy children between 1 to 3 years old. The main question it aims to answer is 1. Is there an effect towards fecal quality after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? 2. Is there an effect towards short-chain fatty acid composition after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? 3. Is there an effect towards clinical profile after consuming milk formula supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains (Bifidobacterium longum BB536, Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis M-63)? The clinical trial period started off with all the participants consuming a milk formula three times a day, for 14 days as a baseline period. Afterwards, the participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: probiotic and placebo. Following the baseline period, participants in the probiotic group consumed formulated milk supplemented with the triple Bifidobacteria strains, while the placebo group ingested the same formulated milk without adding triple Bifidobacteria strains for 90 days. Researchers will compare the probiotic and placebo groups to see if there are any effects towards the fecal quality, short-chain fatty acid level and clinical profile after consuming the milk formula.
Rink hockey teams from senior category (adults) will be recruited to implement a groin injury prevention program consisting on the Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) throughout the regular season, 0 times, once or twice per week (september 2023-march 2024) Weekly team exposure to training sessions and games will be collected as well as cases of groin problems in the entire population When the season ends, the number of groin problems will be compared between teams that used the prevention program once a week against twice a week or no sessions a week.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin injection (or Botox) in the treatment of thumb joint pain/arthritis. People with thumb joint pain or arthritis usually receive steroid injections to help with the pain. However, this medicine does not always work well and also carries known important side effects. There is currently no alternative to this injection medicine. This clinical trial seeks to investigate botulinum toxin as a possible alternative to steroid injection. The difference between Botox and steroid injections is that they are different medicines and work in different ways. Botox, as it is being used in this study, is not FDA-approved. It is therefore considered an investigational medicine.
kinesio taping would reduce pain, improve gait performance, and enhance the functional capacity of turf toe patients undergoing physical therapy
A current study will be conducted to determine the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. This study will be a clinical trial conducted at the Pakistan sports board in the Lahore district. The study will be completed within the time duration of Six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 17 participants in each group will be taken in this study to find the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. Athletes will be divided into two groups. Group A will be treated with closed-chain exercises and Group B will be with neuromuscular training. Pain (Numeric pain rating scale NPRS), Proprioceptive (balancing on a single leg with the eyes closed, balancing on a wobble board, Dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance test and Y Balance Test), Functional Ankle Instability (Greek version of the Identification functional ankle instability questionnaire IdFAI), Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY) and Ankle Instability Instrument (AII), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Range of Motion ROM (measure Goniometer) will be used as Data collecting tools. Three sessions of treatment per week for 4 weeks will be given. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 22. In descriptive statistics Frequency tables, pie charts, and bar charts will be used to show the summary of group measurements measured over time.
Groin pain that relates to the adductor muscle usually represents in the groin region specifically in superior internal thigh. Tears or strains may happen within the muscles itself, tears or strains mainly occurs at musculotendinous junctions or within the tendons. Adductor strain is a familiar but mostly ignored cause of groin injury and pain among athletes. Risk factors include past hip or groin injury, age, weak adductors, muscle fatigue, lessen range of motion, and deficient stretching of the adductor muscle complex.
To examine the effects of an individualized balance and proprioception training program on pain, function, and the risk of recurrent ankle sprains.
The current study involves a prospective interventional study that primarily intends to compare foot joint loadings of participants with chronic ankle instability (CAI) with those of subjects who recovered after an ankle sprain (LAS copers) and healthy controls during running and more challenging tasks. This study further aims to explore the impact of foot muscle properties and fatigue on the same biomechanical outcomes. Therefore, the investigators will recruit 72 participants (24 per group) aged from 18 to 44 years. Each of them will come only once to the CMAL laboratory (UZ Leuven, Pellenberg).
The study is a 5-week human study including 24 18-35 year old healthy men. Each participant will have muscle injury and tendon strain induced in one leg using neuromuscular electrical stimulation in conjunction with forced lengthening contractions. The investigators will monitor the recovery from injury/strain over a 4 week period, in which half of the subjects will receive growth hormone (somatropin) to stimulate the connective tissue synthesis.
Case series, repeated-measures design, pilot study. Adult, female, migraine patients underwent seven Ischemic Compression Myofascial Trigger Points (IC-MTrPs) therapy sessions. The aim of the study is to investigate whether therapy of the shoulder girdle and neck muscles by deactivating MTrPs causes modification of biomechanical and biochemical variables in the blood and reduces headache in people with migraine, improving their quality of life by improving their health. People qualified for the study were divided into 3 groups according to the type of migraine: 1. CM group - patients with chronic migraine 2. EMa group - patients with paroxysmal migraine with aura 3. EMb group - patients with paroxysmal migraine without an aura. All patients underwent 7 interventions in the area of the muscles of the shoulder girdle and neck (by deactivating trigger points) performed every 2 or 3 days. They did not take any headache medications during the treatment period. However, during a migraine attack, they could undergo treatments and research measurements. Biomechanical measurements of the cervical spine, shoulder girdle muscles and blood chemistry were performed before, during and after the patients' therapy. All treatments were performed on the following muscles: - m. trapesius pars descendent (trapezius upper), - m. sternocleidomastoideus (sternocleidomastoid), - m. temporalis (temporal), - m. legator scapulae (levator scapula), - m. supraspinatus (supraspinatus), - m. suboccipitales (suboccipital).
