Active clinical trials for "Sprains and Strains"

To determine the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid (AdantTM, Tedec-Meiji Farma SA) for acute ankle sprain, a single-site, open-label, controlled trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted in a sport-medicine clinical research center in London, Ontario, Canada. The eligible patients will be 18 years of age and older, have first or second degree lateral sprain within 48h of the start of the treatment, and moderate or severe pain (>45mm on 100 mm pain visual analogue scale /VAS). Exclusion criteria will include bilateral ankle sprain, ipsilateral knee trauma, prior sprain in the past 6 months, use of NSAID prior to entry, intra-articular ankle injection in the prior 6 months. The patients will receive standard care (RICE and rescue analgesics), and a single 2.5cc Adant periarticular ankle injection following provision of informed consent and collection of baseline data. NSAIDs, corticosteroids or topical analgesics will not be allowed. Assessments will be done at baseline, days 8, 30 and day 90. Efficacy measures will include patient's pain VAS on weight bearing (0-100mm) and walking 20m (0-100mm), patients' global assessment of ankle injury (5 point categorical scale), patients' assessment of normal function/activity (5 point categorical scale), physician's global assessment of ankle injury (5 point categorical scale), patients/physician satisfaction assessment (10 point categorical scale), time to return to pain-free and disability-free sport and adverse events as per WHO definition. It is expected that the Hyaluronic acid injections will decrease pain and swelling, promote healing, improve time to return to sport and increase mobility.

Objectives: To analyze the effects of proprioceptive and strengthening exercises versus the same exercises and manual therapy on the recurrent ankle sprain management. Design: A randomized clinical trial with two intervention groups and triple blind. Settings: University Hospital. Participants: Fifty-four patients with previous history of recurrent ankle sprains, regular sports practice and pain during the physical activity, randomly assigned to experimental or control group. Intervention: Control group performed 4 weeks of proprioceptive and strengthening exercises; experimental group performed 4 weeks of the same exercises combined with manual therapy. Main Outcomes Measures: Pain, ankle instability, pressure pain threshold (PPT), ankle eversion strength, and active range of motion in ankle joint. The measures were taken before, after and one month after the interventions.

A Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Factorial, Comparator and Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of MRX-7EAT Etodolac-Lidocaine Topical Patch in the Treatment of Ankle Sprains

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Diclofenac Sodium Topical (DSG) 1% compared with placebo applied four times a day in subjects with acute ankle sprains under 'in-use' conditions, in particular with regard to pain relief.

This study will investigate the efficacy of the Indomethacin patch in pain relief of ankle sprain in adult patients, compared to a placebo patch

There is currently no real consensus on the optimal management of acute sprains of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the long fingers. The aim of this study is to assess the beneficial effect of an injection of corticosteroids for the treatment of this type of sprain (one single sub-cutaneous injection, in the acute phase). This treatment, if effective, might become the treatment of choice for these types of injuries, instead of a prolonged immobilization or a careful early mobilization.

The main purpose of this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of diclofenac diethylamine 2.32% gel applied twice (b.i.d) or three times a day (t.i.d.) with placebo in the treatment of acute ankle sprains (distortions).

The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of a muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory drug is more effective at relieving pain in patients with neck strains or whiplash than either of the two medications alone.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of once daily application of a diclofenac sodium topical patch in reducing acute pain due to mild to moderate wrist sprain, strain or contusion when applied to the painful area.

The objective of this study is assess the efficacy and safety of single and multiple applications of the FS-67 patch in the treatment of ankle sprain in pediatric population (ages 13-17).
