Active clinical trials for "Paresthesia"

Nitrous oxide has become an increasingly popular recreational drug amongst young people, particularly at festivals, nightclubs and parties. Considering the drug is not illegal to possess, has low cost in the form of 'whippets' and can be easily purchased online, it has become the second most commonly used recreational drug amongst people aged 16-24 in the UK. However, nitrous oxide is known to irreversibly inactivate the functioning of vitamin B12, a vitamin required for the maintenance and proper functioning of nerves in the spinal cord. Neurological symptoms in this population have been reported in around 3.4% of nitrous oxide users, although the true incidence is expected to be higher as the cases being reported by UK hospitals continues to rise. Patients may present with adverse neurological symptoms like tingling, weakness, coordination and mobility problems. Currently, studies reviewing the functional recovery of these patients have been limited by a retrospective study design, short follow up duration and being limited to small cohort sizes. This is in part linked to patient non-compliance and non-attendance at follow-up appointments. The investigators will therefore prospectively recruit all patients presenting with these symptoms and continue to collect data relating to their neurological recovery for 12 months. Data collection will be remote to ensure it is of low burden to the participants. This will allow the investigating team and others to fully appraise the severity of these toxic neuropathies and understand how best to manage their follow up.

The study will compare therapeutic efficacy of a novel spinal cord stimulation leads implant based on anatomical landmarks with standard surgical implantation technique.

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy and toxicity of mexiletine in the management of paresthesias and pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

To investigate the effect of muscle energy technique on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in a postpartum female. BACKGROUND: meralgia paraesthesia is one of the serious disorders in the postpartum female which results in pain and less physical activities. ………HYPOTHESES: This study hypothesized that: muscle energy technique will have a significant effect on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in postpartum female

Primary Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate that the safety of Perifix New is non-inferior to using Perifix Standard when applied for thoracic epidural anaesthesia. Primary Endpoint: Incidence of spontaneous paraesthesia during catheter insertion Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives are to determine the safety and performance of the investigational product: frequency of inadvertent vascular cannulation, difficulties involved in insertion and removal of the catheter, other safety features and data for the evaluation of handling characteristics. Title: Randomised, prospective, single-blind, controlled, study on the safety of two epidural catheters in patients undergoing surgery under thoracic epidural anaesthesia Investigational Product: Perifix Epidural Anaesthesia Catheter Test Product: Perifix New Reference Product: Perifix Standard Number of Sites and Countries: 1 site in The Netherlands Indication: Thoracic epidural anaesthesia Study Design: Randomised, prospective, single-blind, controlled study in 1 study center, phase IV Perifix New and Perifix Standard meet all the appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation implementing European Directives (both have CE-marking). Study Duration: 2 year duration Study Start: March-April 2005 Sample Size: n = 2*70 patients

The purpose of this study is to determine whether collagen nerve conduits placed on exposed radial and ulnar nerves during radial and ulnar forearm free flap harvests will reduce the occurrence and degree of sensory nerve deficit.

The study included 24 patients with written and verbal consent Results with close proximity to IAN diagnosed based on radiographs and evaluation on the criteria of Howe, and Poyton were selected and divided into two groups by lottery method into coronectomy and coronectomy with root canal treatment following coronectomy groups. Patients were re-evaluated on three weeks for complications and three months follow-ups for radiographic evaluations of root-fragment migration

The aim of this randomised, double-blind crossover study was to determine whether Doxycycline has an impact on the persistent symptoms post-neuroborreliosis, through alterations in the immune response and whether such an effect could influence the clinical outcome.

Aim: to investigate the effects of dietary supplements on postoperative edema and pain in patients undergoing quadrantectomy for breast cancer. Methods: 120 patients will be randomized into 3 groups: A, treated with Bromelain/Boswellia Serrata Casperome and Centella Asiatica with Vitamins for 30 days; B, treated with Bromelain/Bosswellia Serrata and placebo for 30 days; C, treated with 2 placebos. Inclusion criteria: adult (>18 years) patients with breast cancer undergoing quadrantectomy with or without sentinel lymph node biopsy. Exclusion criteria: diabetic neuropathy, previous breast/chest surgeries, allergies to studied drugs, severe kidney failure, alcohol and toxics addiction, axillary lymphadenectomy. Patients will be studied through ultrasound examination for edema and collections, VAS and DN4 for pain, during 30 postoperative days. Patients will also be studied through psychological and physiatric evaluations. Wilcoxon, T student, Chi-Squared tests will be used to evaluate the outcomes. STATA 14 (StataCorp LP, College Station, Tex, USA) will be used for the analysis. P<0.05 will be statistically significant.

The objective of the present study will be to evaluate the efficacy of photobiomodulation (PBM) with LED in pain control, facial edema, paresthesia, bone repair and quality of life arising after maxillar surgical disjunction (MSD). A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 72 participants aged 18 to 45 years, who search the Service of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology of the Mandaqui Hospital Complex to undergo MSD, attend to the eligibility criteria and agree to participate. Surgeries will be conducted by three oral maxillofacial surgeons who will perform all surgical procedures, two examiners (who will perform pre and post-surgical evaluations, blinded to the experimental group) and another researcher who will perform the LED application. Before the surgeries, facial measures, radiographic examinations, tests of facial and oral sensitivity and the evaluation of the level of anxiety of all the participants will be carried out. Immediately after the surgeries, the participant will be inserted into the placebo group or the LED group, according to block randomization defined previously. In the LED group, the participants will receive PBM with an extraoral device (660 and 850 nm with 6J per point) and an intraoral one (660 nm with 2J per point) and in the control group the participants will be attended in the same way, but with the LED devices kept off. The applications will be in the immediate postoperative period, 1, 2, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after the end of the surgeries, when the evaluations will also be performed. Facial measurements, extra and intraoral sensitivity, pain and bone repair will be evaluated. Secondarily, the data regarding the occurrence of headache; otalgia; nausea; bruise; nasolacrimation; epistaxis; dysphagia; systemic and superficial temperature in the operated region; use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories; anxiety and impact of oral health on the participants' quality of life will be computed.
