Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Pain"

Epidemiology, a word derived from the Greek epi (on) demos (people), is a scientific discipline in the area of medicine that studies the distribution, frequency and determining factors of chemical diseases in defined human populations. It is the method of problem solving research used by epidemiologists, scientists, statisticians, doctors, and other health professionals to get to the root of health problems in a community. Beyond the important role of descriptive epidemiology in generating etiological hypotheses, it also provides a description of the frequency and / or patterns of disease occurrence at the individual or social level. In the field of medicine and physiotherapy, epidemiological studies of musculoskeletal injuries acquire great relevance considering that they are the main cause of disability, increasing their prevalence year after year and carrying high economic and social costs. Worldwide, the Epidemiology of musculoskeletal pathologies has been reported in both the general population and specific populations. Despite the fact that kinesiology has been an established profession in Argentina since the 1940s, there is an evident lack of scientific information on this discipline. Currently, epidemiological reports of published musculoskeletal pathologies are scarce in our country. To our knowledge, the characteristics of the population of patients with musculoskeletal injuries who attend a private sports kinesiology office are not known. A study of these characteristics could help to better understand this population, improving routine clinical practice, as well as providing a database for the development of future scientific studies. For this reason, the main objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of the patients who come to an external kinesiology office at a private institution in Argentina. The secondary objective is to evaluate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and the affected body regions.

This study investigates the evolution of sensory, motor and tissue variables following exercise-induced pain in wrist extensor muscles in healthy subjects.

Since TMJ and cervical pain incidence are rising and both structures are highly interrelated anatomically and functionally. And yet no standard protocol for TMD therapy The objective of this study is to state if there is a correlation between TMD and cervical dysfunction. To help reach a better diagnosis and a more holistic treatment. Forty volunteers (15 male and 25 female) between the ages of 20 to 40 were recruited. Cervical ROM was measured in all directions (rotation, flexion and extension, and sidebending) by CROM device, and a 10 cm plastic ruler marked in both centimeters and millimeters was used to measure TMJ vertical opening.

Most studies investigating the risk factors related with musculoskeletal pain have been conducted in European countries and North America, and because of the difference in health, economic, and social systems, their results are not generalizable to countries such as Turkey. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the individual and work-related risk factors linked to musculoskeletal pain among Turkish office workers.

The care of children with Cerebral Palsy is a process that continues for many years. Individuals who take care of them experience musculoskeletal pain due to the difficulties they experience and face pain that becomes chronic over time. For individuals who take care of children with CP, determining the types of chronic pain is important in order to clarify the classification criteria and for individuals to reach better living standards by tailoring the treatments they will receive. Therefore, the aim of the study is to determine the types of chronic pain in caregivers for children with cerebral palsy.

The Swiss chiropractic cohort (Swiss ChiCo) practice-based research network (PBRN) is nationwide research project with the aim to develop a musculoskeletal focused PBRN within the Swiss chiropractic setting and describe the characteristics of clinicians recruited. Development of the PBRN has been guided through participatory engagement of multiple stakeholders including patients, clinicians, scientists, and policymakers.

This study will explore the contribution of stress-system activity to pain and functional disability in the acute stage of traumatic musculoskeletal injury, and to the maintenance of symptoms after 3, 6 and 12 months post-injury.

This study included patients who applied to the physical therapy and rehabilitation outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with chronic low back pain and osteoarthrosis and met the criteria for participation in the study. Demografik datas, pain , Functional Limitations and Quality of Life wa evaluated.

The aim of this study is to adapt and translate the Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire into German.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a major public health concern. Approximately one in four consult their general practitioner (GP) with a musculoskeletal problem during the course of a year, making it the largest diagnostic group. Modifiable factors including affective disorders (e.g. anxiety and depressive symptoms) and sleep problems may be important prognostic factors for MSK pain. However, there is a lack of prospective research examining the interaction between these conditions in patients with MSK pain in a GP-setting.
