Active clinical trials for "Musculoskeletal Diseases"

Musculoskeletal disorders and stress of employees remain a major problem in many occupations. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an individually tailored bio-psycho-social intervention strategy versus "usual care" ergonomics and standard physical exercises (reference group) on musculoskeletal pain, work disability, and stress in lab technicians with a history of work-related musculoskeletal pain.

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of a supervised neuromuscular exercise program versus a standard home exercise program for patients with post-traumatic symptomatic anterior shoulder instability. Participants with at least one week of symptom duration are randomly assigned to either a 12-week structured, supervised Shoulder Instability Neuromuscular EXercise (SINEX) program versus a standard HOMe EXercise (HOMEX) program. The H1-hypothesis is that the SINEX program results in a greater increase in quality of life and physical function than the HOMEX program at the primary endpoint at three months follow-up from baseline

The purpose of the study is to determine whether crosslinked Marathon and standard Enduron polyethylene liners show differences in survivorship due to wear-related revisions at minimum 14-year follow-up and every 5 years after.

The purpose of this study is to determine if electrical stimulation (small levels of electricity) can safely and effectively reduce pain following total knee replacement (or total knee arthroplasty (TKA)). This study involves a device called the SPRINT System. The SPRINT System delivers mild electrical stimulation to nerves in the leg that received the knee replacement. The SPRINT System includes a small wire (called a "lead") that is placed through the skin in the upper leg. It also includes a device worn on the body that delivers stimulation (called the SPRINT Stimulator).

We will screen all first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodeses performed between 2010 and 2022 in Helsinki University Hospital. Information about demographics and additional diagnoses will be yielded from data pool of medical records. Additionally we review pre- and post-operative x-rays for first MTP joint angles and OR records for operative techniques. Our aim is to find associations between those known variables and risk for reoperation in two years after operation.

To explore the clinical outcomes of discectomy with dynamic neutralization system(Dynesys) on treatment of single-segmental lumbar disc herniation(LDH) versus simple discectomy.

A randomized, controlled study with the pretest-posttest design was performed; 50 patients who were suffered from jaccoud's arthropathy and aged 30-50 years. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: Group 1 (study group): received HILT, in addition to the routine physical therapy program. Group 2 (control group): received routine physical therapy program. All treatment interventions were applied at a frequency of three sessions per week for 8 weeks. The participants were recruited from the air forces hospital at the period from December 2018 and October 2019.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether crosslinked Marathon and standard Enduron polyethylene liners show differences in bone loss around the hip implant.

This study is a clinical trial, prospective, randomized and double-blinded. Gabapentin oral 10 mg/kg was administered to reduce the pain intensity as well as the opioid consumption in children from 3 months to 16 years submitted unilateral limb surgery.

Between 45% and 70% of the general population suffers neck pain at some point in their lives, making it one of the most frequent reasons for taking sick leave. Given its importance in physiotherapy at clinical level, we seek to observe how a scapular mobilization technique might influence the neural mechanosensitivity of the median nerve as measured by Upper Limb Neural Test 1 (ULNT1) on subjects with neck pain. Hypotheses and objectives. Performing a scapular mobilization technique on subjects with neck pain and a positive ULNT1 improves the patient's response to said test. It also decreases the patient's neck pain as measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and increases grip strength. Material and method. A single-blind clinical trial was performed on subjects randomly assigned to either a treatment group or control group. The sample consisted of 60 subjects (N = 60) -30 in the treatment group (n = 30) and the other 30 as a control (n = 30) -and was made up of patients with neck pain and a positive ULNT1. A scapular mobilization was performed on the first group and on the second, a calcaneus abduction adduction on the opposite side from the positive ULNT1 as a placebo.
