Efficacy and cost analysis of combined thermal, compression DVT preventative therapy for post-surgical patients.
“Patient experience and satisfaction are both important factors in assessing a hospital or clinic’s level of care…. An additional benefit of motorized cold therapy not often talked about is how it can affect the amount of opioids taken by patients after surgery.”
“Arthritis pain is primarily managed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac. Topical diclofenac gel is limited in efficacy due to its limited penetration through the skin. This study investigates the use of a multi hour, wearable, localized, sonophoresis transdermal drug delivery device for the penetration enhancement of diclofenac through the skin.”
“Low-intensity continuous ultrasound (LICUS) is an emerging high-dosimetry ultrasound-based therapy for accelerated tissue healing and the treatment of myofascial pain. In this study, LICUS treatment is clinically evaluated for chronic upper neck and shoulder pain in a randomized, multi-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.”
“Emerging clinical evidence demonstrates that ultrasound dose timing (i.e. daily treatment) and duration significantly impact benefits and treatment results. Therapeutic wearable ultrasound for multi-hour therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for many musculoskeletal injuries by increasing circulation, oxygen and nutrient deliver, removal of cellular waste products, and collagen matrix repair.”
“Ultrasound is one of the most commonly used modality by physical therapists and athletic trainers. It is one of the most misunderstood and, therefore, one of the misused modalities. When placed in the hands of a competent clinician, it can provide positive outcomes; however, when used improperly, there are few benefits from this modality.”
“Wearable long-duration low-intensity ultrasound is an emerging non-invasive and non-narcotic therapy for the daily treatment of musculoskeletal pain. The aim of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to examine whether long-duration low-intensity ultrasound was effective in treating pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.”
“Therapeutic ultrasound has been studied and used for the past seven decades to treat musculoskeletal injuries. Recently, a significant body of animal and human research has focused on the biomechanical effects of daily-applied, low intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) on soft tissue recovery. We performed a systematic review of the last two decades of LITUS literature to examine the effects on tendon, skeletal muscle, ligament, and tendon-bone junction injuries.”
“We determined that a new LITUS device for long- duration treatment heated tissues at 1.5 and 3.0 cm deep by approximately 38C to 48C after a 180-minute treatment using 1 and 2 transducers…. The sustained application of ultrasound may prolong the beneficial physiologic response of therapeutic ultrasound by applying a greater amount of acoustic energy to the tissues…”
“In the placebo controlled study, three out of four subjects that received active LITUS increased daily mobility more than 20% over four weeks of treatment. Interestingly, while pain reduction was seen in the placebo cases as well as the treatment case, mobility increases were limited to real treatment.”
“Breg’s Telehealth Support Program is a way for us to work with your physician to deliver orthopedic products without the need for in-person visits or direct physical contact, so you can get the support you need now.”
