This study aims to evaluate the effect of low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) treatment on the knee of osteoarthritis patients through home-based intervention using the LICUS medical device. 2) Methods: The clinical trials were designed in a single-arm, open-label, and intervention study. Thirty-five participants, including those who dropped out (12%), were screened and enrolled. The patients received LICUS (1.1 MHz, 1.5 W/cm2, collimated beams) on the knee by the instructions of the investigator at home (5 min/session, 3 times/day, for four-weeks). Outcome measures were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) as a primary endpoint and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) as a secondary endpoint to evaluate pain relief and functional recovery of the knee between pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment (four-weeks). 3) Results: Knee pain scores measured using the VAS and WOMAC indices were significantly reduced after a four-week treatment with LICUS compared to baseline. Knee stiffness and functional capacity were significantly reduced after the LICUS application. In addition, there were no reports of adverse effects during the study period. 4) Conclusion: Long-term and home-based application of LICUS can be recommended as an alternative option for the treatment of OA patients, as evidenced by the effect of pain relief and knee function recovery.展开更多

In TRH treated group. the treatment was started with abolus injection of 0. 2 mg/kg followed by continuous infusion for 2 hours at 0. 2 mg/kg/h. Such treatment wasgiven once a day for 4 times. The patients in control group were given the equivalent normal saline with the samemethod. Results: TRH, administered intravenously after head injury. promoted the recovery of consciousness andGCS score, alleviated the traumatic brain edema, controlled and lowered the intracranial pressure. decreased thelevel of lipid superoxides, decreased the mortality rate. and improved the life quality of the survivals. Nocomplications or adverse and toxic effects were noted during the course of TRH treatment. Conclusion: TRH hasbeneficial effects on patients with severe head injury.展开更多
