Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

Demonstrate that custom-made insoles improve painful symptomatology, health and foot function in subjects with SLE and podiatric involvement.

The study aims to evaluate the working environments of individuals working from home during the covid-19 outbreak and the effect of the working environments on their musculoskeletal system.

The purpose of this study is to verify that the implementation of a protocol physiotherapy musculoskeletal pain and reduces anxiety and improves quality of life in patients hospitalized at the clinic of high-risk pregnancies at the Hospital das Clinicas of Ribeirao Preto, with a diagnosis of preeclampsia and chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia. Where patients will be recruited, answered questionnaires before and after application of physiotherapy protocol.

The purpose of this study is to develop a measure - the needle torque test - capable of detecting connective tissue abnormalities associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

The study will be described the development and implementation of the Clinical pathway (CPW) for acupuncture treatment in the management of patients with some chronic pain conditions. The effectiveness of this CPW will be explored in this study through retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes after administration of acupuncture treatment summarised in the guidelines.

Musculoskeletal injuries amongst surgeons are prevalent. This project will determine whether Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic surgery (RALS) offers superior benefits to surgeon's musculoskeletal health than standard laparoscopic surgery (LS), by identifying the comparative changes in muscle fatigue during RALS Vs LS surgical procedures, and additionally identify any cognitive effects of this. The Study if successful, could help reduce injury rates in surgeons.

Musculoskeletal pain is common and often occurs already in adolescence. To be able to target future interventions that aim to prevent new episodes of MSK pain, more studies on modifiable risk factors are necessary. In this prospective cohort study, already collected data from the Fit Futures study will be used. The aim is to investigate if perceived social acceptance among peers in the first year of high school is associated with musculoskeletal pain in the last year of high school, and if this association is moderated by psychological distress.

This study examines the efficacy of a brief pre-hospital naloxone education module added to the standard "Total Joint Class" curriculum on patient safety and experience. Participants will consist of 250 patient-and-support-person pairs. The primary outcome is "readiness to use" naloxone - a proxy for opioid overdose safety. Patient factors contributing to this primary outcome as well as the effect on patient attitude and experience will also be investigated.

Background: Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain and injuries are common in endurance sports where athletes are required to perform at high intensity for long periods of time. In the short term, MSK pain may significantly impair the athletes' performance, which can lead to unwanted time-off from practice and competitive tournaments. Previous studies found an association between training load, MSK pain and performance. These results indicate that an athlete may experience MSK pain or get injured from both too low and to high training loads. Electronic sports (E-sports), also known as competitive gaming, is defined by Hamari and Sjöblom as "a form of sports where the primary aspects of the sport is facilitated by electronic systems; the input of players and teams as well as the output of the E-sports system are mediated by human-computer interference". There are only few data on MSK pain in E-sports, however a small study with 65 participants found that 41% suffered from back or neck pain and more than 1 in 3 had pain related to the wrist. E-sports athletes have to perform for an extended period of time, similar to athletes from traditional endurance sport. As such, MSK pain in E-sports may be associated with training load like it is seen in other sports. Therefore, MSK pain in E-sports could be an unrecognised issue. To provide health professionals with and optimal starting point for managing these issues, there is a need for well-conducted studies on the prevalence of MSK pain among E-sports athletes. In addition, it is highly relevant to investigate if training loads related to E-sports and physical activity levels are different among athletes with MSK pain compared to athletes without MSK pain. Aims: The aims of this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study are to; I) investigate the prevalence of MSK pain in E-sports athletes, II) assess if training loads among athletes with MSK pain are different from athletes without MSK pain, III) investigate if physical activity levels among athletes with MSK pain are different from athletes without MSK pain and IIII) descriptively present data on participant characteristics, sleep patterns, physical activity levels and utilization of health professionals and pain medication in the study population.

This is a cross-sectional and prospective cohort study using a biopsychosocial approach to investigate office workers at risk of standing-induced musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study is to determine which factors are associated with developing or worsening of musculoskeletal pain (changes in the Visual Analogue Scale from baseline) during a 60 minute standing paradigm.
