To evaluate the effectiveness of triamcinolone injections in treating external magnet displacement in cochlear implant (CI) patients with adhesions problems of their processor....
We present seven CI patients with magnet adhesion issues who presented to our tertiary care neurotology clinic. None of the patients had a history of head trauma, postimplant MRI, or surgery in the he...
Triamcinolone 40 mg/mL injected subcutaneously at the CI magnet site....
Reduction of scalp thickness and successful magnet retention....
Our cohort consisted of seven patients (eight implant sites) of which five were overweight or obese. The temporoparietal scalp thickness measured on preoperative CT scans varied between 8.4 and 15.9 m...
The significant improvement in CI retention shows that triamcinolone injections are effective in making the subcutaneous tissue thinner and allowing magnet retention....
Hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloids are pathologic scars that are products of a wound healing pathway error attributed to genetic and inflammatory causes (Leventhal et al., Arch Facial Plast Surg 8(6...
To assess the efficacy and safety of periocular injections of methotrexate versus triamcinolone in the management of active thyroid-associated orbitopathy....
Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial....
Participants with bilateral active, moderate-to-severe thyroid-associated orbitopathy were randomly assigned to receive three periocular injections of 7.5 mg methotrexate in one orbit and three perioc...
Among the enrolled 25 patients, 18 patients completed the study. A statistically significant reduction of the mean clinical activity score was detected in both arms (from 5.2 ± 0.89 at baseline to 0.9...
Periocular injections of methotrexate represent an effective and safe alternative option for the management of active, moderate-to-severe thyroid-associated orbitopathy. Although no serious complicati...
A corticosteroid flare reaction is a well-described phenomenon that causes significant pain and dysfunction. The paucity of literature impedes decision making regarding which corticosteroid to use for...
In this prospective, interrupted time series, parallel study, patients received injections in the glenohumeral joint and/or subacromial space. MPA and TA were used during 2 discrete 3-month periods. T...
MPA or TA shoulder injections were administered in 421 patients; of these patients, 15 received bilateral-joint injections whereas 406 received a single-joint injection, for a total of 436 injections ...
In this clinical trial, we investigated the efficacy of two treatment methods for keloids resulting from surgical incisions: intralesional triamcinolone injections alone versus in combination with ver...
Patients were divided into two groups: one received triamcinolone alone (Group T) and the other received a triamcinolone-verapamil blend (Group VT). Regular treatments were conducted until the keloids...
Both groups showed significant improvements, but Group VT saw quicker resolution of skin redness and needed fewer sessions. Though the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) scores were generally similar across b...
These findings suggest that the combination of verapamil and triamcinolone provides a more effective treatment for keloids, thereby highlighting the potential of verapamil in scar reduction....
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections (ICSI) are an effective symptomatic treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip. However, the safety of ICSI has been questioned and a relatively high risk for se...
This is a retrospective evaluation of 682 hips that underwent ICSI with 40 mg of Triamcinolone for primary osteoarthritis of the hip. All ICSI were performed using sterile techniques, the number of IC...
4 hips (0.6%) developed RPIO 2-4 months following ICSI. The cumulative Triamcinolone dose was not associated with the development of RPIO (p = 0.281). 1 case was diagnosed with septic arthritis and tr...
The rate of RPIO was 0.6%. The current findings suggest that if ICSI is performed under sterile conditions, the risk for septic arthritis or PJI following THA, even in patients with multiple ICSI or I...
This study aims to compare posterior subtenon triamcinolone acetonide injection either formulated or alone versus suprachoroidal triamcinolone in the management of diabetic macular edema....
This study is a prospective interventional study that included 75 patients, divided into three groups, each group with 25 patients. Group I received a combination of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) (40 m...
We found a statistically significant difference between the three studied groups regarding BCVA (P = 0.001) and CMT at six months postoperative (P = 0.001) with the highest median BCVA and lowest medi...
We concluded that early treatment of DME by formulated TA is better than TA alone, and suprachoroidal TA in the form of increasing the BCVA and decreasing the CMT without any elevation of IOP. Trial r...
Mometasone-eluting poly-L-lactide-coglycolide (MPLG) is available commercially for frontal sinus ostium (FSO) stenting. An alternative chitosan polymer-based drug delivery microsponge is also availabl...
To compare the outcomes of MPLG stents versus triamcinolone-impregnated chitosan polymer (TICP) microsponge in frontal sinus surgery....
Patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery from December 2018 to February 2022 were reviewed to identify those with the intraoperative placement of TICP microsponge or MPLG stent in the FSO. FSO ...
A total of 68 subjects and 96 FSOs were treated. TICP was first used in August 2021 and MPLG in December 2018. MPLG placement in a Draf 3 cavity was excluded since TICP had not been used during Draf 3...
FSO patency for both stents was similar, although TICP had significantly lower costs per unit. Additional comparative trials may be helpful for guiding clinicians on the appropriate clinical situation...
To compare the effectiveness of intra-bursal injection of single-dose platelet-rich plasma (PRP) against corticosteroids under ultrasonography guidance in shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS)....
This single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 participants with a clinical diagnosis of SIS from a selected orthopedic clinic. Thirty participants in each arm were given a single d...
At 1 week, the triamcinolone arm showed a statistically significant reduction of pain (p = 0.039) when compared to PRP. In the long term, PRP showed statistically significant improvement in shoulder a...
PRP and triamcinolone in the SASD bursa could be considered as safe treatment options for SIS under ultrasonography guidance. While triamcinolone was effective in short-term pain reduction, PRP was ef...
Tear-through deformities can be a detectable sign of facial aging. Over recent years, minimally invasive procedures such as hyaluronic acid filler injections have been shown to be effective in improvi...
To determine the safety and efficacy of triamcinolone injection in the treatment of malar edema....
A total of 15 female patients with malar edema, with a mean age of 43.77 years, were treated with triamcinolone injections. The volume injected was chosen by the investigator. Prior to the triamcinolo...
Satisfactory results were achieved after a single treatment session for 14 patients and after two treatments for one patient. Overall, injections with triamcinolone were well tolerated and no adverse ...
Injection with triamcinolone appears to be a safe and effective option for the management of malar edema following hyaluronic acid filler injection. Nevertheless, further research with larger patient ...
