Is a novel sham neural mobilization technique a suitable blinding intervention for low back pain patients?

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent and costly musculoskeletal disorders, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Neural mobilization (NM) is a therapeutic technique used in the treatment of LBP, which aims to improve neural tissue mobility and reduce pain. However, there is no validated sham NM intervention for lower quadrant conditions, which limits the ability … Continue reading Is a novel sham neural mobilization technique a suitable blinding intervention for low back pain patients?

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 Do Spinal Manipulation and Ultrasound Compare in Terms of Pain Intensity Reduction for Mechanical Neck Pain?

In 2002, Moodley, et. al., randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of spinal manipulation compared to ultrasound therapy in the management of patients with neck pain. The study employed a randomized clinical trial design. The research was conducted at the Technikon Natal Chiropractic Clinic-Durban, South Africa. Thirty individuals with neck pain, ranging in age from 16 to 60 years, were randomly assigned to … Continue reading How Do Spinal Manipulation and Ultrasound Compare in Terms of Pain Intensity Reduction for Mechanical Neck Pain?
