The effects of nano-curcumin supplementation on adipokines levels in obese and overweight patients with migraine: a double blind clinical trial study.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of nano-curcumin supplementation on adipokines levels and clinical signs in obese and overweight patients with migraine.

Results: Forty-four patients with episodic migraine participated in this clinical trial and were divided into two groups nano-curcumin (80 mg/day) and the control group over 2-month period. At the baseline and the end of the research, the serum levels of MCP-1, Resistin, and Visfatin were measured using the ELISA method.

Measuring serum sodium levels using blood gas analyzer and auto analyzer in heart and lung disease patients: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: Emergency services require precise and rapid measurement of electrolytes to initiate treatment. Blood gas analyzers (BGA) analyzes blood samples in seconds however, its accuracy is still debatable. The aim of this study was to compare the level of serum sodium measured through BGA and auto analyzer in the laboratory analyzers.

Paracetamol versus Paracetamol Plus Ondansetron on Acute Postoperative Pain.

This study was performed to determine the comparative efficacy of paracetamol alone versus paracetamol plus ondansetron on acute postoperative pain after abdominal surgeries in Azad University hospitals in 2017 and 2019. In this randomized clinical trial, 62 consecutive patients under abdominal surgeries, were randomly divided into two groups, group 1 patient who received paracetamol alone 1 gram and group 2 patient who received paracetamol 1 gram plus 4 mg ondansetron and the pain severities were determined and compared between groups at recovery and after 4 and 24 hours. The results of this study revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between two groups for the postoperative pain severity and analgesic use ( > 0.

Adding Ozone to Dextrose and Somatropin for Intra-articular Knee Prolotherapy: A Randomized Single-Blinded Controlled Trial.

Background: Prolotherapy, as an alternative therapy, has emerged as an effective treatment for chronic musculoskeletal injury, including knee osteoarthritis (OA). Several studies have mention ozone as a potential treatment for these diseases, which is based on analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant.

Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of adding ozone gas to hypertonic dextrose and somatropin for knee prolotherapy in patients with knee OA.

Comparison of Transforaminal Triamcinolone and Dexmedetomidine in Radicular Low-Back Pain: A Randomized Double-Blind Clinical Trial.

Background: Administration of steroids in the lumbar transforaminal block for lumbar radicular pain is considered one of the preferred treatment methods though it is associated with some complications.

Objectives: The effects and side effects of triamcinolone and dexmedetomidine in the lumbar transforaminal block were investigated in the present study.

Methods: In this study, 30 patients, aged 40 - 70 years, suffering from lumbar radicular pain arising from the lumbar disc protrusion were equally divided into two groups of triamcinolone (T) and dexmedetomidine (D).

The effects of injecting intra-articular platelet-rich plasma or prolotherapy on pain score and function in knee osteoarthritis.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that usually occurs in older people and leads to pain and disabilities. OA treatment ranges from drug therapy to surgery.
