Superior cluneal nerve entrapment (SCNE) is an underrecognized cause of chronic low back pain and gluteal pain that may mimic lumbar spine disorders. Ultrasound-guided proximal superior cluneal nerve block has increasingly been used in routine clinical practice .Diagnostic superior cluneal nerve block is commonly used to confirm the diagnosis, whereas …
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if catgut embedding works to treat chronic low back pain in adults with lumbar spondylosis and "Blood Stasis" syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does catgut embedding lower back pain more effectively than electro-acupuncture? Does catgut embedding improve …
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-individual crossover trial designed to assess the impact of regular use of a consumer-grade FODMAP-targeting digestive enzyme blend (FODZYME®) on gastrointestinal symptoms in adults with self-reported bloating.1 The study's rationale is based on the fact that fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) are often poorly absorbed …
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most commonly observed conditions in patients over the age of 50 and imposes a substantial socioeconomic burden. Degenerative disc disease is one of the most frequent and important causes of this pain. Progressive disc degeneration is characterized by a decline in disc …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein belonging to the neurotrophin family, known to be involved in neuronal survival, growth, and synaptic plasticity. Recent studies suggest that the role of BDNF may extend beyond the central nervous system to include inflammatory responses and degenerative changes in peripheral tissues. In particular, …
In adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery, does adding an sPIP block to standard care compared to standard care alone result in a smaller decrease in PFTs?
To determine if patients with intraoperative cryoablation have better analgesia results compared to the control group of Surgical Stabilization of Rib Fractures (SSRF) without cryoablation
The purpose of this study, entitled "Delivering Transcutaneous Auricular Neurostimulation as an Adjunct Non-Opioid Pain Management Therapy for Patients Undergoing Lumbar Surgery", is to demonstrate whether transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can non-invasively reduce the perception of pain in patients undergoing lumbar surgery. tAN is placed on and around the ear …
This clinical trial aims to determine the optimal timing for administering a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block in bariatric surgery, specifically investigating whether initiating TAP blocks at the beginning of surgery is more beneficial than at the end, which is the current practice. The study targets obese patients undergoing bariatric …
The aim of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of multilevel erector spinae plane block (ESPB) vs thoracic epidural in modified radical mastectomy (MRM) regarding duration of analgesia, postoperative opioid consumption, effect on intraoperative fentanyl consumption, postoperative numerical pain rating scale and quality of life for the next …
