Multiligament knee injuries are typically caused by high-energy mechanisms and are classified according to the number of ligaments involved using Schenk's classification (Knee Dislocation) into KD 1, KD 2, KD 3, and KD 4. These types of injuries can have devastating consequences on the individual's quality of life, affecting their ability to return to sports and perform daily activities. In the literature, there is still no consensus on the management of these types of traumas, both due to the wide range of situations that can present to the orthopedic surgeon and the difficulty in their diagnostic and therapeutic framing. The main controversies concern the conservative or surgical management of the injuries and the timing of when to undertake surgical treatment, if at all. The instability resulting from multiligament knee injuries is poorly tolerated by patients, who find their daily activities limited. It is also well known that this instability can dramatically accelerate the development of osteoarthritis, leading to the need for joint replacement surgery even in young individuals, thus increasing the likelihood of revisions and re-operations over time. Due to the lack of standardized and satisfactory treatment, the economic cost of the outcomes of multiligament knee injuries is particularly high. A recent study by XXX showed that only XXX% of individuals are able to return to work. The rate of participation in sports is even lower, which has a long-term potential impact by increasing the risk of sedentary lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The choice of surgical treatment aims to eliminate the patient's subjective feeling of instability and to repair, when possible, or reconstruct the injured ligament structures to reduce the risk of secondary osteoarthritis. Available studies in the literature are often case reports presenting short- and medium-term results of non-standardized surgical techniques with great heterogeneity in rehabilitation protocols, so the real long-term effectiveness of these treatments in terms of joint stability and osteoarthritis prevention is not known.
NCT02671812
The general aim of this project is to investigate the long-term treatment outcome after implant therapy. The patients' satisfaction with implant treatment will be studied and correlated to biological and technical problems. The survival rates of implants at patient level and the degree of bone loss of remaining teeth and implants will be calculated. The levels of cytokines and bone loss markers in peri-implantitis sites and periodontal defects and at healthy sites will be analyzed in order to study the correlation between cytokine and bone loss marker levels, and clinical conditions. Independent variables which could be regarded as significant risk factors or risk predictors on the incidence of peri-implantitis are aimed to be identified
NCT07250490
To determine the reliability and validity of the Portuguese version of the DIVA questionnaire in Portuguese women. This validation will support its use both in research and in routine clinical practice in this population.
NCT07234552
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of different torque values applied during transmucosal abutment placement in dental implants on marginal bone loss and peri-implant parameters, including the patient's perception of the treatment. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Is there any difference in marginal bone loss between abutments torqued at 15 Ncm, 30 Ncm, and submerged implants without immediate transmucosal connection? 2. Are there differences in microleakage between the different torque levels? 3. How do these torque values affect peri-implant soft tissues and patient satisfaction? 4. Does the applied torque influence the patient's quality of life after the prosthetic phase? Each participant will receive three dental implants during the same surgical procedure. One of the following approaches will be applied to each implant: 1. A transmucosal abutment torqued to 15 Ncm 2. A transmucosal abutment torqued to 30 Ncm 3. A healing cap without transmucosal connection (submerged implant) After implant placement, clinical and radiographic assessments will be performed to measure marginal bone loss and peri-implant parameters.
NCT07061379
A multicenter, national pharmacological observational study that has as its overall goal to implement a set of validated and agreed upon European-wide questionnaires (PROMs - patient's reported outcomes) to assess patients' perceptions of aspects of their lives based on the treatment they are receiving. Specifically, with the research we present here, we aim to obtain data on patients' health and condition, including quality of life, symptom status, physical function, mental health (anxiety and depression), sleep quality, and sexuality as useful indicators not only of patient well-being but also of the effectiveness of the treatment itself. The study involves the following: patients will be asked to complete online questionnaires at the following timepoints: before the start of treatment, after 4 and 8 treatment cycles, and at disease progression. Data will also be collected regarding the patient's oncological medical history, treatment performed, response to treatment at CT/PET reevaluations, any toxicities that arose during treatment.
NCT06699823
The goal of this observational study is to translate a patient questionnaire about recovery after an operation into Greek and assess how accurate, reliable, acceptable, and feasible this Greek version is.
NCT05224297
The project is part of the overarching goal of improving patient-centric radiation oncology. This pilot project aims to develop an instrument that can be used to collect clinically relevant patient-reported outcome data on adverse effects during and after RT. This real-world evidence (RWE) database will be the basis to monitor and evaluate future technological developments, combination treatments (e.g. radioimmunotherapy, etc.), or changes in treatment protocols. The pseudonymized data will be linked to data in the oncological information system and dosimetric data from the treatment planning system. In this way, they represent a basic building block of patient-oriented development of clinical radiotherapy.
NCT05598541
The purpose of φ-PROMISE project is to carry out a cultural adaptation (translate into Finnish and validate) some of the most frequently used shoulder- and elbow-specific patient-reported outcome measures, PROMs. In addition, we aim to investigate which outcome measures are the most relevant for assessing the severity of complaints and treatment outcomes. Also, we will define the Patients Acceptable Symptomatic State (PASS) and the Minimal Important Difference (MID) of the individual outcome measures.
