Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare discomfort levels in three different positions for ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel injections (USCTI) to enhance tolerability for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
- 30 Veterans were evaluated using three positions: Hypersupination, Airplane, and Total Supported Abduction (TSA), with participants rating their pain and ease of holding each position.
- Results showed that Hypersupination was the most painful and least preferred position, while Airplane and TSA were not significantly different in terms of discomfort, suggesting they may be better options for patient comfort during the procedure.
Epidural spinal cord stimulation (eSCS) of the lower thoracic spinal cord has been shown to partially restore volitional movement in patients with complete chronic spinal cord injury (cSCI). Combining eSCS with intensive locomotor training improves motor function, including standing and stepping, but many patients with cSCI suffer from long-standing muscle atrophy and loss of bone mineral density, which may prohibit safe implementation. Safe, accessible, and effective avenues for pairing neuromodulation with activity-based therapy remain unexplored.
