High Intensity Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain
Shoulder PainHemiplegia3 moreHigh intensity laser therapy (HILT) has been considered as a treatment option for shoulder pain. In randomized controlled studies with high-intensity laser therapy (HILT), there are publications showing its effectiveness in conditions such as shoulder pathologies such as subacromial impigment syndrome and adhesive capsulitis. However, there are few studies in the literature that focus on the effectiveness of HILT, especially in hemiplegic shoulder pain. In this study, we intended to investigate the effectiveness of HILT on pain, disability, function and quality of life in patients with HSP accompanied by PTRCT.
Trial of an Exercise Intervention for Children With Haemophilia
HemophiliaChild2 more"Being able to participate in games and activities with their friends" is one of the things that matters most to boys with haemophilia. At present, there is a lack of robust evidence to determine whether muscle strengthening exercise can improve or negatively affect outcomes for young children with haemophilia. With the help of boys with haemophilia, their parents and physiotherapists the investigators have developed an exercise programme designed to increase muscle strength. Using this intervention the investigators will undertake a single-blinded, two-arm pragmatic randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a 12-week intervention verses usual care of boys with haemophilia aged 6-12 years of age.
Quadriceps Tendon Versus Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Autograft ACL Reconstruction RCT
Orthopedic DisorderAnterior Cruciate Ligament InjuriesThe choice of autograft for ACL reconstruction continues to be debated. To date, there has only be one completed randomized controlled trial with quad tendon to BTB and the tendon included a bone plug. There has been no study to date comparing an all soft tissue quad tendon to patellar tendon in a randomized controlled trial for ACL reconstruction.
Ultrasound-guided FICB for Proximal Femoral Osteotomy in Pediatric Patients
Orthopedic DisorderThis prospective randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of fascia iliaca compartment block on the postoperative pain and opioid consumption in pediatric patients (3y≤ age <18y) who will undergo orthopedics surgery (proximal femoral osteotomy). Patients will be allocated to either the FICB(Fascia iliaca compartment block + IV PCA) group or the control group (no block + IV PCA). Fascia iliaca compartment block will be performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (1mL/kg, MAX 30mL) under ultrasound-guidance at the end of surgery. The total opioid consumption at 12, and 24 hours after the surgery, and the pain score at 10 min after PACU admin, 1,6,24 hours after the surgery, the total dose of additional rescue analgesia (intravenous ketorolac or nalbuphine) at 12 and 24 hours after the surgery will be recorded.
Regional Anesthesia in Pediatric Orthopaedic Patients
AnesthesiaLocal2 moreTo identify the benefits from regional anesthesia use as pain management in the pediatric population by delineating the differences in efficacy of continuous nerve blockade versus single-shot techniques after pediatric orthopaedic limb procedures. By doing this, the investigators can determine if specific anesthetic techniques should become a standard of care in pain management for the pediatric population and supersede the need for opioid medication.
Minimum Effective Local Anesthetic Volume for Ultrasound Guided Superior Trunk Block
Musculoskeletal Diseases or ConditionsThe objective of this study is to identify the minimum effective dosage of a commonly used local anaesthetic drug "levobupivacaine" required to produce an effective ultrasound guided (USG) superior trunk block (STB) in at least 90% of patients for shoulder arthroscopic surgeries.
The Effectiveness of the Combination of PRP and ESWT in Lateral Epicondylitis
Musculoskeletal DiseasesElbow Tendinitis2 moreThe aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of adding PRP or Sham PRP injection to ESWT treatment in patients with lateral epicondylitis on pain, muscle strength, functional activities, quality of life and work activities, and to determine the superiority of the treatments over each other.
Addressing Post-COVID-19 Musculoskeletal Symptoms
TelemedicineMusculoskeletal Disease4 moreThe purpose of the study will be to evaluate the effect of a rehabilitation program on the improvement of patients with post-COVID-19 musculoskeletal symptoms, as well as to quantify the impact of telemedicine that evaluates the evolution of pain, functionality, and quality of life.
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LEVI-04 in Patients With Osteoarthritis of...
PainOsteo Arthritis Knee5 moreThis is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of multiple doses and multiple administrations of LEVI-04 for the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Various Chronic and Acute Conditions
Autoimmune DiseasesCardiovascular Disorders9 moreThis multi-arm, multi-site study investigates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of stem cell therapy for the treatment of various acute and chronic conditions. Clinically observed initial findings and an extensive body of research indicate regenerative treatments are both safe and effective for the treatment of multiple conditions.
