How do lymphocyte profiles unveil insights into chronic low back pain treatment?

In 1994, Research led by P.C. Brennan, et. al., have delved into the lymphocyte profiles of patients enrolled in a clinical trial focusing on manipulative therapies for chronic low back pain (LBP) with mechanical origins. The study, conducted at a chiropractic teaching clinic in suburban Chicago, aims to contribute valuable insights into the immune system’s role in chronic LBP. The randomized controlled trial involved baseline … Continue reading How do lymphocyte profiles unveil insights into chronic low back pain treatment?

How effective is plantar fascia-specific stretching for long-term relief in chronic plantar fasciitis?

In 2006, Digiovanni, et. al., conducted study about Chronic plantar fasciitis, which is a persistent and painful condition affecting the foot’s sole, has been a subject of medical investigation. A prior study engaged eighty-two patients with long-standing proximal plantar fasciitis in a randomized clinical trial, comparing a plantar fascia-stretching regimen to an Achilles tendon-stretching routine. Initial results after eight weeks favored the plantar fascia-stretching group. … Continue reading How effective is plantar fascia-specific stretching for long-term relief in chronic plantar fasciitis?

What is the impact of physical exercise therapy on pain intensity and dysfunction in the lumbosacral region in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome?

In 2019, Prohorova, et. al., conducted study about differential approach considering the pathogenetic aspects of musculoskeletal disorders is crucial for the rehabilitative treatment of patients. This study aimed to improve the correction of lumbosacral orthosis in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome using physical exercise therapy to enhance locomotor activity. A randomized controlled clinical study was conducted involving 60 outpatients, divided into a main and control … Continue reading What is the impact of physical exercise therapy on pain intensity and dysfunction in the lumbosacral region in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome?

How Does Cervical Traction Affect Selected ECG Variables in Cervical Spondylosis Patients?

In 2006, Akinbo, et. al., conducted research about Cervical traction (CT). It is a commonly used therapy for cervical spondylosis (CS) patients, but there is a lack of consensus among clinicians regarding the optimal tractive force to be applied during CT. Determining the appropriate CT weight is crucial to minimize side effects and ensure effective treatment. To address this, a recent study aimed to investigate … Continue reading How Does Cervical Traction Affect Selected ECG Variables in Cervical Spondylosis Patients?
