A Study to Assess Benign Joint Hypermobility Syndrome in Children With a History of Wheezing or...

Benign Joint Hypermobility SyndromeWheezing1 more

The purpose of this study is to assess benign joint hypermobility syndrome (BJHS) in children with a history of wheezing or asthma. BJHS is a common syndrome of joint and connective tissue laxity without any other rheumatologic disease. This assessment will be performed by using either method below depending upon if the child has a history of wheezing or severe asthma: Determine the correlation, if there is an increased rate of BJHS in children with a history of wheezing as well as if there is an increased history of wheezing in children with BJHS; or Determine asthma control, lung function and asthma exacerbations (a flare up or acute worsening of symptoms) in children with BJHS compared to children with asthma without BJHS, to assess if it BJHS is associated more with children with severe asthma.

Opioid-Free Anesthesia for Patients With Joint Hypermobility Syndrome Undergoing Craneo-Cervical...

Ehlers-Danlos SyndromeCraniocervical Syndrome

Cranio-cervical instability (CCI) has been well identified in diseases regarding connective tissue, such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome/Hipermobility Type (EDS-HT). These patients frequently suffer from severe widespread pain with very difficult management and control. Chronic neuroinflamation, opioid-induced hyperalgesia, and central sensitization phenomena may explain this complex painful condition. A retrospective, observational, consecutive case series study is designed to determine if opioid-free anesthetic management shows a reduction in postoperative pain and opioid rescues needs in comparison with opioid-based anesthesia management for patients with EDS-HT undergoing crano-cervical fixation.

Assessment of Gastric Motility on Funtional Dyspepsia and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome

Functional DyspepsiaJoint Hypermobility Syndrome

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is defined as the presence of gastroduodenal symptoms in the absence of organic disease that is likely to explain the symptoms. Joint hypermobility (JH) refers to the increased passive or active movement of a joint beyond its normal range. Recent reports have highlighted the co-existence of FD with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type III or hypermobility type (EDSIII). The association between FD and EDS III, and the underlying pathophysiological alterations, are poorly understood. We hypothesised that EDS III might influence gastroduodenal sensorimotor function, resulting in dyspeptic symptoms. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the impact of EDS III on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in patients with functional dyspepsia.Our aim is to study the prevalence of EDSIII in FD compared to healthy subjects (HS) and to study the impact of co-existing EDSIII on gastric motility, nutrient tolerance and dyspeptic symptoms in FD.

Validation of a Kinematic Functional Shoulder Score Including Only Essential Movements

Rotator CuffSyndrome5 more

A lot of shoulder function evaluation scores exist but none has been universally accepted as a gold standard. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of computerized movement analysis with embedded sensors for objective evaluation of shoulder functional outcome following surgery. A very simple testing procedure is possible as just a few repetitions of two simple shoulder movements are sufficient. This could potentially facilitate implementation of shoulder function movement analysis in current clinical practice. However, at the present stage of development, the method needs to be extensively validated. This means that the research will intend to determine precisely for which current shoulder pathology it can be applied, what the outcome of healthy people is, what the reliability of the score is and how it can monitor patient evolution.

Association Between Hypermobility and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

HypermobilityJoint4 more

Study hypothesis:- Benign joint hyper mobility syndrome which persists into adulthood is a special type of benign joint hyper mobility which is more likely to predispose to chronic musculoskeletal pain. Young Indian adults aged between 25 and 40 years who are blood donors or relatives of patients admitted as inpatient or presenting to the out patient department, in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences will be enrolled, after excluding the exclusionary criteria. They will be assessed for the presence of chronic musculoskeletal pain using a validated self filled questionnaire. The primary investigator who will be blinded to their response will examine them for the presence of Benign Joint Hyper mobility Syndrome and for tender points suggestive of fibromyalgia. Primary Objective:- To determine whether chronic musculoskeletal pain is associated with Hypermobility among Indian adults. Study design:- Cross sectional survey

Modified Brostrӧm Procedure With and Without Possible Arthroscopy for Lateral Ankle Instability...

Lateral Ankle Instability

This study is to show that the investigators believe the Modified Brostrӧm Procedure (MBP) can be completed without a routine ankle arthroscopy. Routine ankle arthroscopy, if determined not to be necessary in all cases, is a waste of resources in terms of operating room, surgeon, and staff time as well causing an increase in hospital financial expenses. Most importantly, this procedure is morbid. Ankle arthroscopy forces a patient's foot into distraction for up to one hour, exposes the patient to potentially longer anesthesia exposure that is unnecessary, increases infectious risks, and requires exposure at the portal sites near superficial nerves.
