Summary: Participation will be for approximately 21 days (3 study visits,1 week apart with allowance for scheduling conflicts). A topical (or placebo) foam alone or with a splint will be used. Demographic and symptom information will be obtained. At each visit 3 questionnaires (BCT, CTS-6, and DASH) will be completed and an ultrasound of the wrist (median nerve) will be done to document any change in sympt...

Summary: To compare the effects of post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch along with deep friction massage on pain pressure threshold of trigger points, disability, muscle length, and hip joint range of motion in wallet sciatica.

Summary: This prospective study aims to evaluate the median nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by high-frequency ultrasound and color Doppler in comparison with clinical and Nerve conduction studies.

Summary: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a compressive peripheral neuropathy, characterized by pain, tingling sensation and paresthesia in the territory of the median nerve, symptoms modulated by psychosocial factors (eg, catastrophic thinking, depression, anxiety).The objective of the study is to determine those psychological and social components that influence the symptoms and function of patients with ...

Summary: In this prospective multi-centre double-blind trial the effect of the epiduroscopy will be examined in (approximately 300) adult patients with low back pain pain caused by failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).

Summary: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve compression syndrome worldwide, causing significant chronic pain, functional impairment, and lowered quality of life for individuals of various backgrounds. CTS is caused by chronic compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist, causing numbness and pain in the palm, thumb, index, and middle fingers and eventual weakness of ...

Summary: The discrimination of the right/left side of the body is related to the integrity of the motor and somatosensory areas at the cortical and subcortical levels. Although some studies have shown that there may be an effect on the right/left representation at the cortical and subcortical levels in cases that cause severe neuropathy and neuropathic pain, this effect has not been proven in milder neurop...

Summary: The ability to voluntarily move the ankles is important for walking. After spinal cord injury (SCI), this ability is impaired because of changes in the communication between the brain, spinal cord, and body. Whole body vibration (WBV) is a treatment that increases voluntary muscle control and decreases uncontrollable muscle movement in people with SCI. The purpose of this study is to understand ho...

Summary: The goal of the Carpal Tunnel Release Using Ultrasound registry (CiTRUS Registry) is to collect experience information from patients scheduled to undergo carpal tunnel release surgery with either the SX-One MicroKnife® with ultrasound guidance or the traditional mini-open technique without US guidance.

Summary: In this work, a novel hybrid ankle-foot robot is designed for gait rehabilitation after stroke, i.e., exoneuromusculoskeleton with balance sensing feedback (ENMS-BSF) by integrating the advantages of soft pneumatic muscle, functional electrical stimulation, exoskeleton and foot balance feedback in one system. With the assistance of the ENMS-BSF the foot drop and foot inversion could be corrected w...

Summary: This study is being conducted to determine whether addition of a longer-acting local anesthetic to our current anesthetic protocol improves the post-operative pain after carpal tunnel release. Participants undergoing carpal tunnel release (CTR) will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the standard anesthetic or the longer-acting anesthetic. Participants will not be aware of their assignment...

Summary: This research aims to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, function, nerve conduction studies and grip strength in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.
