Investigating the causes and treatment of high calcium levels from paraffin oil injections

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to characterize the granulomatous disease caused by intramuscular injections of paraffin oil, focusing on the pathogenesis and natural history of the condition. By understanding these aspects, the study seeks to lay the groundwork for identifying novel treatments that can be tested in future randomized clinical trials. The research will involve collecting data from patients who have previously received such injections to better understand the implications of paraffin oil on health.
