To determine whether a 15-minute, one-time guided relaxation program for cancer patients could improve symptom distress as measured by the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS). In addition, we were interested in characterizing the changes of the autonomic nervous system, as demonstrated by heart rate variability (HRV) high-frequency (HF) spectral analysis, before and after this relaxation program...
To identify the volumes of contrast material needed to reach specific landmarks during lumbar transforaminal epidural injections (L-TFEIs).Prospective, nonrandomized, observational human study.Academic/private pain management practice.Sixty-nine patients undergoing L-TFEIs were investigated. Sixty patients were included in this study.L-TFEIs were performed with the use of contrast-enhanced fluoroscopic...
To determine if ultrasound (US) localization is equivalent to surface landmark localization to identify botulinum toxin injection targets for forearm muscle spasticity.Observational.Outpatient spasticity clinic in a tertiary care center.Eighteen patients with upper-extremity flexor spasticity that interferes with function were included. Individuals with severe fixed contractures or traumatic injury...
To assess the safety and feasibility of studying osteopathic manipulative treatment and its potential effectiveness for patients with vertigo.A nonrandomized pilot study.Outpatient clinic affiliated with a teaching hospital and osteopathic medical school.The subjects were older than 18 years of age, with the diagnosis of vertigo for longer than 3 months.The patients were treated with osteopathic manipulative...
To test the emerging hypothesis that there is polymodal fiber degeneration/loss in distal residual limbs (DRL) of amputees.Prospective qualitative and quantitative psychophysical testing.A pain research center at an urban academic rehabilitation hospital.Forty-four amputees (32 with pain, 12 without pain) with a single (upper or lower) limb amputation. Subjects are a clinical “convenience” sample...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a disease entity that encompasses both deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. During the past decade there have been significant advances in the understanding of prophylaxis and treatment of VTE. There is an extensive research base from which conclusions can be drawn, but the heterogeneity within the rehabilitation patient population makes the development of...
To describe injury patterns of skateboard-associated injuries (SAIs) and to assess the frequency and severity of SAIs depending on an athlete's skateboarding experience.Cross-sectional observation.Skating areas.A total of 100 Viennese skateboarders.No intervention.The participants filled in a questionnaire that was used to assess selected sociodemographic data; duration and frequency of skateboarding;...
To determine whether noninvasive monopolar capacitive-coupled radiofrequency (mcRF) can produce energy and thermal fields capable of breaking-down collagen molecules in deep connective structures without damaging untargeted tissues as evidenced by temperatures achieved and histological outcomes.Basic science study on fresh untreated cadaveric specimens.Orthopaedic Research of Virginia (Institutional)...
To compare outcomes between aquatic and land-based exercises during early-phase recovery from acute lower extremity ligament injuries in elite athletes.A single-blinded, covariate adaptive randomized, controlled study.National training center for elite athletes.Twenty-two athletes with isolated grade I or II ligament injury in ankles or knees were randomized into either an aquatic or land-based exercise...
A retrospective chart review was undertaken of cases of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump/catheter malfunction and the diagnostic tests performed to identify the problem. An internal review was performed to develop a diagnostic flow chart to have a systematic method for identifying ITB pump and catheter complications.Retrospective chart review.Tertiary care hospital.A total of 167 adult patients currently...
To identify nutrients, foods, and dietary patterns associated with stress fracture risk and changes in bone density among young female distance runners.Two-year, prospective cohort study. Observational data were collected in the course of a multicenter randomized trial of the effect of oral contraceptives on bone health.One hundred and twenty-five female competitive distance runners ages 18-26 years...
To compare the accuracy of ultrasound (US)-guided versus unguided pes anserinus bursa injections in a cadaveric model.Single blind, prospective study.Academic institution procedural skills laboratory.Twenty-four unembalmed, unpaired adult cadaveric lower extremity specimens.A single investigator performed 12 US-guided and 12 unguided pes anserinus bursa injections using colored liquid latex into 24...
