Active clinical trials for "Contusions"

Objective of this study is: to determine efficacy and safety of a Esflurbiprofen Hydrogel Patch compared to placebo in patients with acute strains, sprains or bruises of the extremities following blunt trauma, e.g. sports injuries. to demonstrate that the Esflurbiprofen Hydrogel Patch is superior to placebo, and that the patch has acceptable local tolerability.

The study evaluate the effectiveness of dry cold application on pain intensity and bruise at the subcutaneous injection site among patients admitted in medical I.C.U. Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 hospitalized patients (30 in experimental and 30 in comparison group). Dry cold was applied to the subcutaneous injection site using ice bag filled with crushed ice with half table spoon of salt for 20 minutes after the administration of injection and no intervention was given in comparison group.

Subcutaneous heparin injection is one of the most frequent nurses' clinical care. This study aimed to Identify and compare the effects of four different injection duration on pain and bruising associated with subcutaneous injection of heparin in 90 patients. Four injection methods were used for them: A: 10s injections duration B: 10s injection duration and waiting 10s before withdrawing the needle C: 15s injection duration and waiting 5s before withdrawing the needle D: 5s injection duration and waiting 15s before withdrawing the needle. Bruising was measured by a flexible millimeter ruler 48h after each injection; and pain was measured by pain visual analogue scale immediately after the injection. Data will be analyzed by SPSS.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of once daily application of a diclofenac sodium topical patch in reducing acute pain due to mild to moderate wrist sprain, strain or contusion when applied to the painful area.

This study will assess the analgesic efficacy of DSG 1% compared to placebo in the reduction of the pain associated with acute blunt trauma injuries.

The objective of this study is to assess the comparative utility of topical formulations in hastening the resolution of skin bruising. For each subject, four standard bruises of 7 mm diameter each were created on the bilateral upper inner arms, 5 cm apart, two per arm, using a 595-nm pulsed-dye laser. Randomization was used to assign one topical agent (5% vitamin K, 1% vitamin K and 0.3% retinol, 20% arnica or white petrolatum) to exactly one bruise per subject, which was then treated under occlusion twice a day for 2 weeks. A dermatologist rated bruises in standardized photographs immediately after bruise creation and at week 2.

In the transarterial technique for axillary brachial plexus block, the axillary artery is intentionally punctured to indicate placement of the needle within the neurovascular sheath; local anesthetic is then injected deep and superficial to the axillary artery.

Cerebral edema is seen heterogenous group of neurological disease states that mainly fall under the categories of metabolic, infectious, neoplasia, cerebrovascular, and traumatic brain injury disease states. Regardless of the driving force, cerebral edema is defined as the accumulation of fluid in the brain's intracellular and extracellular spaces. This occurs secondary to alterations in the complex interplay between four distinct fluid compartments within the cranium. In any human cranium; fluid is contained in the blood, the cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid of the brain parenchyma, and the intracellular fluid of the neurons and glia. Fluid movement occurs normally between these compartments and depends on specific concentrations of solutes (such as sodium) and water. In brain-injured states, the normal regulation of this process is disturbed and cerebral edema can develop. Cerebral edema leads to increased intracranial pressure and mortality secondary to brain tissue compression, given the confines of the fixed-volume cranium. Additionally, secondary neuronal dysfunction or death can occur at the cellular level secondary to the disruption of ion gradients that control metabolism and function. While studies utilizing bolus dosing of hyperosmolar therapy to target signs or symptoms of increased intracranial pressure secondary to cerebral edema are numerous, there is a paucity of studies relating to continuous infusion of hyperosmolar therapy for targeted sustained hypernatremia for the prevention and treatment of cerebral edema. The investigators hypothesize that induced, sustained hypernatremia following traumatic brain injury will decrease the rate of cerebral edema formation and improve patient outcomes.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of cold application at different periods of time on the occurrence of bruising, haematoma and pain in the subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injected patients.

Multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial, to evaluate the efficacy and safety Aliviador compared to Gelol in the relief of signs and symptoms in patients with contusions, sprains, trauma and muscle injury start with less than 24 hours or patients of myalgia, myofascial pain and tendinitis.
