Active clinical trials for "Myalgia"

Aging is associated with the loss of muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) and reduced tissue regenerative capacity. Eccentric exercise (ECC) is a model of RET that can be used with the elderly, due to the ability of the muscle to combine high muscle strength production with low energy cost. ECC contractions are significantly more damaging to the muscles and produce greater muscle strength, for these reasons there is a greater risk of inducing muscle damage before the muscle is able to adapt. Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) has some peculiar bromatological characteristics. The proteins contained in it, and in particular the potentially bioactive peptide sequences, can rapidly provide the amino acids necessary to promote muscle growth and repair during exercise. Furthermore, PR can be an important source of fatty acids, of which a significant amount of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) which are known to have important clinical effects on body composition and metabolic health and can have a systemic anti-inflammatory effect. Therefore, the central hypothes is that PR consumed during RET can provide more energy substrates and improve muscle recovery. To date, no studies have studied its function on recovery from exercise nor in the elderly.

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.

This study is an interventional trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a cognitive and physical program (Intervention), in reducing the frequency of head and neck pain in the population of an extensive territory of Italy.

The purpose of the study is comparing two drugs efficacy for the treatment of pain originates from masticatory muscles. The two drugs are - Amitriptlyne (amitriptyline) and Gabapentin (gabapentin), both of them are common use in for the treatment of chronic pain Methods - patient that is diagnosed as suffering from myofacial pain, will receive one of the medications above (Gabapentin or amitriptyline) for one month only, after which he will be invited to pain clinic for control. Two weeks after that, the patient will start taking the other drug for 1 month and then invited again to the department for recall and continue standard treatment . The patient can choose whether to continue medication with one of the drugs or stop this medication treatment. Total duration of the experiment is two and a half months.

The investigators' long-term goal is to identify, and then provide general practitioners with evidence-based recommendations for therapeutic interventions for unexplained chronic fatigue (UCF). The investigators' central hypothesis guiding this application is that some complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners have developed management approaches that are more helpful to patients with UCF than usual care.

This study is a randomized, placebo controlled double blind cross over trial. Patients presenting with pelvic floor myalgia will be asked to complete a series of standardized questionnaires to assess their pain, quality of life and sexual function and satisfaction. They will be randomized to either a treatment group or placebo group and will use the supplied suppositories once daily for 2 months. They will then undergo a one month "washout" after which they will be placed in the cross over group for a second two months of treatment. Primary outcome measure: change in Visual Analogue Scale for Pain (VAS-P) scores before and after treatment Secondary outcome measures: change in Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), and Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) before and after treatment

Paclitaxel is chemotherapeutic agent used in many of the most common anti-cancer regimens. Its use is frequently associated with moderate to severe muscle and joint pain that may persist for several days after the treatment. This side effect, known as "Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome, has a significant impact on the quality of life and functional abilities of those receiving the treatment, and is not alleviated by many of the interventions attempted for that purpose. Sporadic reports suggest that a drug called gabapentin may be effective in the management of this adverse effect. Observations from our practice indicate that pregabalin, which possesses similar biological activity to that of gabapentin, may also be useful in preventing and treating paclitaxel associated myalgia - arthralgia. The current study represents an initial evaluation of the hypothesis that pregabalin may be beneficial in the management of the symptoms due to the "Arthralgia-Myalgia Syndrome". The investigation will be carried out in the format of a small scale, randomized, placebo controlled trial with patients receiving paclitaxel in the course of standard treatment for breast cancer.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is inevitably an operation requiring extensive skin and muscle incision, resulting in postoperative pain resulting in limitation of the patient's early exercise and function. ETOIMS(Electrical Twitch Obstructive Intramuscular Stimulation) is used to relieve muscle pain and relax muscles. ETOIMS is a method to relieve pain by stimulating muscle in myofascial pain syndrome. ETOIMS as an effective new treatment for pain after pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common myogenic condition considered to be a muscle tension injury frequently observed in recreational or experienced athletes, induced in the majority of cases by eccentric and inactive exercises, the most common of which are: tension, pain and impairment muscular and have a course of typical duration of 24 hours and peak between 48 and 72 hours. Among the treatments proposed with the aim of reducing the symptoms of DOMS is massage therapy. However, dry needling is a relatively new technique that has been used in myotendinous lesions and its effects on late muscle pain have not yet been studied. Objective: To compare the impact of dry needling and massage therapy on exercise tolerance, and analgesia of sedentary individuals with late muscle pain induced by eccentric exercise. The present study is characterized as a randomized and blinded comparative study in which male sedentary individuals will be invited in which the late muscle pain will be induced through eccentric contractions and will receive different treatments: dry needling or massage therapy. The upper limb functionality, pain perception, superficial hyperemia and brachial biceps thickness will be compared through the exams: visual analogue pain scale (VAS), digital algometry, thermography, ultrasonography and isometric test.

Placebo controlled trial study of efficacy of Kinetic Oscillation Stimulation (KOS) in nasal cavity will be conducted in patients with myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The outcome of the treatment will be assessed with clinical evaluation of patients, cognitive tests, structural and functional MRI of the brain.
