Fascial Scar Mobilization Techniques in Treating Chronic Caesarian Section Scar Pain
Cesarean SectionCicatrix1 moreOver 1.37 million Caesarian sections (C-sections) are performed annually in the US . It is estimated that 12-20 % of those will result in chronic scar pain. This pain can lead to functional difficulties performing activities of daily living, pain with bowel movements, and pain with sexual activity . There is anecdotal evidence supporting the use of deep fascial scar mobilization techniques in reducing abdominal surgical scar pain, and yet almost no research has been published. The aims of this randomized clinical trial will be to determine if deep fascial scar mobilization techniques or superficial scar mobilization techniques will improve chronic pain and its resulting functional deficits, threshold pressure discomfort, pressure tolerance and mobility restrictions resulting from C-section surgery and to see if these interventions are more effective than no intervention. A positive result may result in an increase in the use of this intervention and thus the reduction of chronic scar pain for many women; it may provide justification for insurance reimbursement for this approach and it will also pave the way for further investigation into the use of these techniques with other types of painful scars including hysterectomy.
Gingival Inflammatory Response,Bacterial Adhesion and Patient Satisfaction of Ceramo-metallic vs...
Gingival InflammationOral Bacterial InfectionCeramo metallic restoration has proved high success rate over past years as considered to be the gold standard while Monolithic zirconia as fixed dental prostheses have gained attention because of their good fracture strength, low wear of the enamel antagonist and pleasant color .Material composition will affect gingival health and biofilm formation which initiate caries and periodontal diseases.
Pediatric Multicenter Study of REPEL-CV
AdhesionsThis trial will study REPEL-CV for reducing post operative adhesions following cardiovascular (cv) surgery.
Randomized and Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate Bacterial Adhesion on Multi-Im® Transepithelial...
Biofilm FormationThis study evaluates the efficacy of Mutli-Im® transepithelial components in the inhibition of bacterial adhesion. The control group will be the Multi-Im® transepithelial component with the conventional surface (Multi-IM® Machined) and the experimental group will be the Multi-Im transepithelial components with the Ti-Golden® surface (Multi-Im Golden) or with the nanogolden surface (Multi-Im® nanogolden). Periodontal indices and biofilformation will be assessed during 2 months after implant loading. Metagenomic analysis and PCR technique will be implemented to assess the biofilm formation.
