Compartment syndrome

This study tested whether a special camera that uses near-infrared light and a dye can help doctors diagnose acute compartment syndrome—a dangerous condition where pressure builds up in muscles after a severe injury. Researchers observed 15 adults with suspected compartment syndr…

This study tested four non-surgical treatments for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), a condition that causes leg pain during exercise. 35 active-duty military members were assigned to supervised gait retraining, home-based gait retraining, saline injections, or botu…

This study tested whether Botox injections could treat chronic leg pain in runners, a condition called chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). Only 3 people took part, and they received Botox in specific leg muscles. The goal was to see if this could replace surgery, whic…

This trial investigates whether a non-invasive light-based technique (near-infrared spectroscopy) can reliably measure intestinal oxygen levels as a proxy for abdominal pressure in infants. Researchers will compare these readings with standard bladder pressure measurements in 30 …

This study looked at 26 adults having colorectal (bowel) cancer surgery while placed in a steep head-down position with legs raised in stirrups. Researchers measured blood flow and oxygen in the calf muscles during the operation to understand how a rare but serious leg injury cal…

This completed study looked at how a controlled increase in belly pressure (from laparoscopic surgery) affects a hormone called vasopressin and kidney function. Researchers measured pressure, optic nerve size, and urine output in 16 patients having weight-loss surgery. The goal w…
