procaine and Hemiplegia

procaine has been researched along with Hemiplegia in 8 studies

Procaine: A local anesthetic of the ester type that has a slow onset and a short duration of action. It is mainly used for infiltration anesthesia, peripheral nerve block, and spinal block. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1016).
procaine : A benzoate ester, formally the result of esterification of 4-aminobenzoic acid with 2-diethylaminoethanol but formed experimentally by reaction of ethyl 4-aminobenzoate with 2-diethylaminoethanol.

Hemiplegia: Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Muscle Strength, Measured by Physical Examination, Per Medical Research Council Muscle Strength Grading System

"Muscle strength was measured for forward flexion and abduction of the shoulder per Medical Research Council (MRC) scale in each participants. Their mean +/- SD were calculated in each group.~MRC scale:~Grade 5: Normal and can move against full resistance. Grade 4: Reduced but can move against resistance. Grade 3: Can move only against gravity Grade 2: Can move without gravity Grade 1: Only a trace of movement Grade 0: No movement." (NCT00998868)
Timeframe: within one month after enrollment

Rotator Cuff Tear of the Hemiplegic Shoulder, Confirmed by Ultrasonography

All patients underwent ultrasonography (USG) for the both, affected and unaffected, shoulders. USG routinely examined biceps, subscapularis, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus tendons as for the partial or complete tears, calcifications, bony irregularity and bursal swellings. (NCT00998868)
Timeframe: within one month after enrollment

Rotator Cuff Tear of the Unaffected Shoulder, Confirmed by Ultrasonography

All patients were performed ultrasonography (USG) for the both, affected and unaffected, shoulders. USG routinely examined biceps, subscapularis, supraspinatus, and infraspinatus tendons as for the partial or complete tears, calcifications, bony irregularity and bursal swellings. (NCT00998868)
Timeframe: within one month after enrollment

Subluxation of the Glenohumeral Joint, Confirmed by Physical Examination

The glenohumeral joint subluxation was examined by palpating the subacromial regions of the both sides and comparing the affected side with the unaffected side while patients are seated and relaxed. If the palpated space between the acromion and the humeral head was wider on the affected side by one half finger breath or more, it was judged to be subluxation. (NCT00998868)
Timeframe: within one month after enrollment
