Can distension therapy revolutionize treatment for chronic pelvic pain in women?

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP), characterized by persistent non-cyclic pain lasting over six months, presents a therapeutic challenge due to the absence of established treatments. In response to this unmet need, a team led by J. Heyman, et. al.,(2006) conducted a randomized study to investigate the efficacy of distension therapy on specific pelvic structures in women suffering from CPP, as well as its impact on various … Continue reading Can distension therapy revolutionize treatment for chronic pelvic pain in women?

Does delaying postoperative physiotherapy reduce seroma incidence after mastectomy?

In 1997, Schultz, et. al., conducted study about Seromas and compromised shoulder function which are common complications following modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Early postoperative physiotherapy is often employed to mitigate shoulder dysfunction. This prospective randomized study aimed to assess whether delaying postoperative shoulder exercises could decrease the frequency of seromas without adversely affecting shoulder function. A total of 163 breast cancer patients undergoing … Continue reading Does delaying postoperative physiotherapy reduce seroma incidence after mastectomy?

Can manual therapy initiate a central control mechanism for pain relief and sympathetic activation?

In the quest to better understand the effects of manipulative therapy on pain management, a groundbreaking study led by B. Vicenzino(1998), et. al., has shed light on a potential treatment-specific mechanism. The study aimed to investigate the interrelationship between manipulative therapy-induced hypoalgesia (pain relief) and sympathoexcitation (activation of the sympathetic nervous system). This cutting-edge research, conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated-measures study, delves into … Continue reading Can manual therapy initiate a central control mechanism for pain relief and sympathetic activation?

How does Eperisone treatment compare to physiotherapy in reducing spasticity after a stroke?

In 2005, Tariq et al. conducted a study to compare the effects of Eperisone, a muscle relaxant, with physiotherapy on stroke patients. The goal was to determine whether Eperisone could effectively reduce muscle stiffness, known as spasticity, similar to the effects of physiotherapy. The study included 26 stroke patients, ranging from 15 to 75 years old, who participated in a three-week trial at the Department … Continue reading How does Eperisone treatment compare to physiotherapy in reducing spasticity after a stroke?
