Upper and Lower Extremity Exercise and Exercise-Induced Hypoalgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis
The objective of the study is to explore the effects of arm exercise (UE, arm ergometer) vs. leg exercise (LE, cycling ergometer) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), central pain mechanisms and knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, we will explore relations of socioeconomic status, racial discrimination, acculturative stress, …
Optimizing Pain Self-Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a positive affect enhancing intervention designed to reduce pain and augment reward system function in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The scientific premise is that patient use of a positive emotion generative practice - savoring …
Transdiagnostic Intervention to Reduce Internalized Health-Related Stigma
Stigma due to health conditions increases disease burden and adversely impacts health. The internalization of health-related stigma is associated with impaired mental health and quality of life. The current project will test the effects of a novel, transdiagnostic, group counseling intervention, and peer support, to determine the optimal method for …
Prospective Functional, Gait, and Outcome Comparison Study of Medial Pivot Versus Single Radius Design for Total Knee Arthroplasty
Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which …
Cognitive Functional Therapy for Treating Individuals With Chronic Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is a debilitating musculoskeletal condition with functional, physical, and psychological impacts. Interventions for chronic shoulder pain should address the biopsychosocial model, with Cognitive Functional Therapy emerging as a promising physiotherapy approach. Cognitive Functional Therapy approaches the multidimensional nature of pain, integrating physical and cognitive aspects. The aim of …
Cognitive Functional Therapy for Chronic Shoulder Pain: Pilot and Feasibility Study
This pilot randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) will assess the feasibility and identify the key components necessary for conducting the main RCT, which will involve the comparison of Cognitive Functional Therapy with Therapeutic Exercises in individuals with chronic shoulder pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: What barriers …
Dexamethasone Vs. Dexmedetomidine for ESPB in Pain Management After Knee Arthroplasty
Effect of perineurial dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine on erector spinal plane block duration for knee arthroplasty
Light Therapy on Pain and Synovitis
Background: Knee pain is a common complaint among middle-aged and older adults, often leading to reduced mobility and diminished quality of life. Synovitis is a major underlying cause, present in up to 80% of individuals with moderate knee pain. While light therapy has shown anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in preclinical …
Intra-Operative Adductor Canal Blocks
Adductor canal blocks (ACB) have been recommended in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to provide better control of post-operative pain, facilitate early ambulation, and reduce length of stay in the hospital. ACB is typically done before surgery by an anesthesiologist, which may increase time per case, cost, and requires the specialized …
