Clinical trials

Auriculotherapy has demonstrated promising potential in the management of postoperative pain. Additionally, one study reported encouraging outcomes regarding the reduction of anxiety levels among patients in primary healthcare settings. Nevertheless, further high-quality research is required to substantiate these findings and to support the integration of auriculotherapy into standardized therapeutic protocols. The objective of this prospective, comparative, double-blind study is to assess the efficacy of auricular acupuncture in the management of postoperative pain following outpatient prosthetic surgery for rhizarthrosis

This study involves patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery (lumbar arthrodesis). It compares the effects of Reiki, an energy-based therapy, with conventional approaches to relieve postoperative pain. The goal is to determine whether this non-drug method can help reduce pain, limit the use of painkillers, and enhance patient comfort during recovery.

The aim of our study is to assess the effect of a combined physiotherapy and osteopathy treatment versus a placebo on the management of disability and quality of life after lumbar arthrodesis. This study will provide a better assessment of the use of osteopathy as a non pharmacological approach to post-operative management. For this purpose, We will analyze the effects of these two approaches, targeted and non-targeted osteopathy (TO vs. NTO), on patients' disability and quality of life after surgery.

The aim of our study is to evaluate the two surgical approaches, standard thyroidectomy and robotic thyroidectomy, in terms of postoperative pain management, scar quality, quality of life, as well as the occurrence of postoperative complications (hypocalcemia, compressive cervical hematoma and nerve stimulation)

Auriculotherapy shows promising potential for pain management in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Studies have demonstrated encouraging results in pain reduction and improvement in quality of life. However, further research is required to strengthen these findings and fully integrate auriculotherapy into standard treatment protocols for CTS. this prospective, double-blind comparative study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture in managing postoperative pain following outpatient carpal tunnel surgery

Rhizarthrosis is a form of osteoarthritis that affects the trapeziometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb, which is more common in women over 50. Genetic and hormonal factors as well as the frequency of certain physical movements may contribute to its appearance. Surgical treatment is recommended if medical treatment fails, and trapezectomy is currently considered the standard method, although 3rd generation trapeziometacarpal prostheses are also available. The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic results after surgical treatment of rhizarthrosis: prosthesis versus trapezectomy.
