19 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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 use of Bone Marrow Autologous Collection (BMAC) in musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis and tendon injuries has been growing. Outcome evidence continues to be sparse. The purpose of this study is collect a longitudinal case series of patient reported outcomes following BMAC injections for musculoskeletal conditions including osteoarthritis, tendinopathy and injuries to ligaments, tendons and muscles.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a ketoprofen topical patch on the pain associated with ankle sprain or strain.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study to assess the efficacy and safety of K-103-IP compared with placebo patch for treatment of mild to moderate acute pain associated with ankle strain or sprain.
This study examines the effect of kinesiology tape on proprioception and postural control in subjects with sub-acute and chronic ankle sprains/strain.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using ankle manual therapy procedures on clinical outcomes in individuals with post-acute ankle sprains.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the Hyperarch Fascia Training (HFT) program can reduce ankle pain and improve jump performance in active adults aged 20-45 with a history of ankle sprains. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an HFT intervention group or a control group, maintaining regular activity. Over 12 weeks, participants will complete remote training sessions, track jump performance using the "My Jump Lab" app, and complete ankle pain and stability questionnaires. All activities and assessments will be conducted remotely with guidance from certified coaches.
This study evaluates the addition of a lidocaine patch to ibuprofen in the treatment of acute musculoskeletal pains. Half of the participants will get only ibuprofen for their pain, while other half will receive lidocaine patch plus the ibuprofen. After addition of the pain medications, the participants will be followed for their pain scores and return visits.
The overall goal of this project is to reduce the risk for anterior cruciate ligament injuries by designing a targeted intervention that will alter the known kinematic and kinetic risk factors associated with ACL injuries.
The overall aim of this project is to determine the effect of a tibiofibular joint manipulation on the neuromuscular response of the fibularis longus and soleus muscles in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Another aim of this study is to determine the long term effects of a tibiofibular joint manipulation on range of motion and self-reported function. We hypothesize that a manipulation applied at the distal tibiofibular joint will result in greater muscle activation, improved functional dorsiflexion ROM, and increases in FAAM scores compared to a tibiofibular joint manipulation applied at the proximal joint. We further hypothesize that both distal and proximal tibiofibular joint manipulations will result in greater muscle activation, improved functional dorsiflexion ROM, and increases in FAAM scores than no treatment at all.
This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of Strain Counterstrain in the treatment of chronic ankle instability.
Muscle sprains of the back and neck are very common. In addition to pain and antiinflammatory medications the use of either cold or hot packs has been recommended. In the current study we will compare ice packs and heat packs to see which is more effective at relieving pain from back and neck sprains while in the Emergency Department.
Musculoskeletal sprain/strain injuries and disorders (MSID) have a major impact on health, quality of life and societal productivity. Early intervention for pain following acute MSIDs may prevent secondary complications of chronic pain, disability, reduced quality of life or lost productivity. The investigators goal is to evaluate the efficacy of a computer-based self-management intervention for reducing pain and improving function in persons treated in on-site physical rehabilitation centers. The specific aims are:1) evaluate the efficacy of a computer-based self-management intervention in reducing pain and self-efficacy and function in high risk MSID patients; 2) determine long term impact during a six month follow-up period; and 3) determine whether reductions of pain and improved function translate into reductions in lost work time days away from work, restricted work days, worker's compensation costs and re-injury rates during the 6 month follow-up. Persons with sprain/strain injuries at risk for poor pain control will randomized to either: 1) control condition - standard care in the rehabilitation center plus computer exposure or 2) standard care plus computer-based self-management pain intervention. Assessment will be at baseline, treatment completion, 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome measures are self-efficacy, pain and physical/psychosocial functioning and secondary outcome measures are days away from work, restricted work days worker's compensation costs and re-injury rates. The investigation will also provide unique and valuable information regarding patients acceptance and use of computer-based interventions following acute injury. By establishing the utility and efficacy of computer-based pain management interventions for MSID the investigators have the potential to improve the health and quality of life of persons with injuries, improve productivity and develop new methods for health care delivery.
Imprimis Pharmaceuticals is investigating a proprietary, topical cream formulation consisting of 10% ketoprofen (containing 100 mg of ketoprofen in 1gram of cream) for the local treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain.
Compared to the knee and shoulder, the hip joint leaves relatively little space to maneuver arthroscopic instruments and camera. To expand the potential space in the hip joint, traction is commonly applied to the operative leg through a perineal post. This is an effective technique to improve the working space for arthroscopy, however it has been associated with complications, including perineal numbness. Traction pads, used alone or with a perineal post, can reduce pressure on the perineal area, thus reducing numbness. The investigators hypothesize that positioning hip arthroscopy patients using a traction pad on a standard traction table with a perineal post will reduce the incidence and duration of postoperative perineal numbness.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether providing patients with a question prompt list (QPL) prior to their orthopaedic surgery clinic appointment improves their perceived involvement in care (PICs) score compared to being given 3 questions from the AskShareKnow model
This is a study of the muscle stabilizers of the elbow with respect to the prevention of Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) injuries in pitchers. Pitchers are assessed at spring training and end of season for approximately 5 years. Pronator, flexor digitoum superficialis (FDS), and wrist flexion strength will be measured and correlated with upper extremity injuries and time missed from pitching. The investigators will also be measuring loss of strength over the season. The goal is to learn whether strength in these muscles prevents UCL injuries and finally whether these muscles can be strengthened to avoid such injuries.
The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of athlete management from injury prevention through maintenance of health or development of injury and rehabilitation. The goal is to describe best practice for prevention and treatment to maximize return to health, sport, and patient reported outcomes following time. This includes collection of pre-existing risk factors, prevention program participation, treatment initiatives, functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of athlete health, influencing factors, and their associated outcomes.
Study aims to assess patient-recorded outcomes of pain control medications prescribed in the ER after visits for specific painful injuries/illnesses.
