Cryo Rib Fracture Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with rib fractures who undergo cryoablation of the intercostal nerves have improved pain control 7 days from procedure when compared to those who have a ESP catheter.
Chiropractor Delivered Virtual Intervention After Vertebral frActure
This study will determine feasibility of a chiropractor delivered virtual intervention for individuals following osteoporotic vertebral fracture. This pilot trial will have two parallel groups with a 1:1 ratio. Participants will be randomized to: 1) immediate receipt; or 2) waitlist usual care control and delayed receipt of VIVA 10 weeks …
PENG Block: Continuous Infusion vs. Programmed Intermittent Bolus in Neck of Femur Fracture
Pericapsular Nerve Group Block (PENG) is an effective regional anaesthesia modality in providing analgesia following neck of femur fracture. Continuous PENG techniques, using indwelling catheters and infusions of local anaesthetic, facilitate the continuation of analgesia for a number of days following hip fracture surgery. It is unclear from the published …
Circum-Psoas Blocks Versus Combined Lumbar and Sacral Plexus Blocks in Hip Fracture Surgery
Hip fracture (HF) is one of the major worldwide problems that constitute a significant mortality rate, ranging from 14- 36% in the first year after injury, and is associated with profound temporary and sometimes permanent impairment of independence and quality of life in the geriatric population. Surgical treatment is considered …
Stronger at Home: Improving Outcomes for Older Adults After Hip Fracture
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a new 14-week individually-tailored home-based rehabilitation program called "Stronger at Home" with usual care in improving functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults after hip fractures. The main question this trial aims to answer are: • Is the Stronger …
Emergency Physician-performed Ultrasound-guided Femoral Nerve Blocks in Patients With Hip Fractures.
In this prospective study, emergency physicians perform ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block for patients with hip fractures. We compare the effectiveness of analgesia and patient satisfaction of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block with liberal use of the pain medicine in the emergency department. The primary outcome is the assessment of time to …
What Laxative Should be Used After Hip Fracture Surgery?
To conduct a randomized clinical trial to determine how best to prevent constipation after hip fracture surgery using laxatives.
Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients
To evaluate the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. This single-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial will enroll participants aged 65 years and older, scheduled for elective hip surgery under spinal anesthesia. Participants will be …
Conventional Spinal Anaesthesia Versus Fractional Spinal Anaesthesia on Hemodynamics
compare the systemic haemodynamic response to fractional spinal anaesthesia versus conventional spinal anaesthesia , in a group of elderly and comorbid patients with hip fracture.
Rehabilitation After a Hip Fracture: the Effects of Dietary Protein and Exercise on Bone and Muscle Health and Quality of Life
Hip fractures often lead to functional limitations, loss of independence, weight loss and decreased well-being. Only half of the patients regain their functional level and 24% die within the following year. Financial consequences are significant due to costly surgery and long-term care. Hip fracture incidence is expected to increase sharply …
