Filter by:Cognitive Bias Modification for Interpretation (CBM-I) trains participants to interpret ambiguous information as neutral or benign, rather than interpret it as being related to pain. The goal of this randomised controlled trial was to explore the feasibility and potential clinical benefits of CBM-I in people with chronic pain and also healthy, pain-free individuals.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of adding flossing band therapy to conventional physiotherapy in patients diagnosed with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does combining flossing band therapy with conventional physiotherapy lead to greater improvements in pain, strength, and function compared to conventional physiotherapy alone? - What are the effects of flossing band therapy on knee functionality and muscle strength in PFPS patients? Participants will be randomly assigned to either the Standard Physiotherapy group or the Flossing Band and Physiotherapy group. In addition to conventional physiotherapy, participants in the Flossing Band group will undergo sessions where a flossing band is applied around the knee joint to provide moderate compression. Researchers will compare the two groups to determine if the addition of flossing band therapy enhances treatment outcomes for PFPS.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system manifested by referred pain associated with functional limitation, muscle contractures, and possible neuralgic manifestations; this condition is characterized by the presence of "trigger points". The goal of this case-control study was to compare the effects and benefits of treatment with ESWT vs Mesotherapy in myofascial pain syndrome. The main question it aims to answer is: what is the best rehabilitation project-program between ESWT and mesotherapy for patients with myofascial syndrome? A case-control study was conducted at the U.O.C. of "Recovery and Functional Rehabilitation" A.O.U.P. "P. Giaccone" of Palermo from February 2022 to Dicember2023. Patients were randomized into 2 groups: in group "A", No. 5 sessions of focal ESWT were given weekly; in group "B", No. 5 sessions of Mesotherapy with administration of Thiocolchicoside fl 4mg/2ml and Mepivacaine fl 10mg/1ml were given weekly. Patients in group "A" and group "B" were evaluated at baseline (T0), after 5 sessions (T1) and one month after the end of treatment (T2). Researchers will compare patients treated with ESWT and patients performing mesotherapy to see if there are real differences in terms of pain reduction and improved quality of life.
This study aimed to determine the distribution of pain sensitivity according to body segments in patients with central sensitization associated with chronic subacromial pain syndrome (SPS).This cross-sectional study included patients with chronic SPS and central sensitization (patient group) and the same number of healthy participants as controls. The presence of central sensitization was determined using the Central Sensitization Inventory. To determine the segmental distribution of pain sensitivity, pressure pain threshold measurements were performed bilaterally from the shoulder, forearm, and leg.
This study aims to investigate the impact of impact of strain counterstrain technique on pain, lumbar range of motion and functional impairment in patients with lower back Myofascial pain syndrome.
The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of Mirror Therapy on pain reduction and hand function in subjects with unilateral upper extremity Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type I.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Ningmitai capsule alone or in combination with sildenafil compared with sildenafil alone in the treatment of CP/CPPS with erectile dysfunction. Study Design: A multicenter, prospective, randomized and positive drug-controlled clinical study design was adopted. Interventions: ① Western medicine group (sildenafil): Sildenafil citrate, 25mg/capsule, once a night, one capsule each time, for 4 weeks. ② Chinese medicine group (Ningmitai capsule): Ningmitai capsule, 0.38 g/capsule, 3 times a day, 4 capsules each time, taken after meals for 4 weeks continuously. ③ Combination group (Ningmitai capsule + sildenafil): Ningmitai capsule, 0.38 g/capsule, 3 times a day, 4 capsules each time, taken after meals; Sildenafil citrate, 25mg/capsule, once a night, one capsule each time, was taken continuously for 4 weeks.
Patients with plantar fasciitis between the ages of 25-65 years who presented to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation clinic with the complaint of heel pain and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data (age, gender, body mass index, symptom duration) will be recorded at the beginning of the study. Then, Foot Functional Index (FFI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scales will be recorded. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 will receive dry needling and Group 2 will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). Patients in the 1st group will undergo 3 sessions of dry needling with Seirin branded 0.6*50 mm acupuncture needles at one week intervals for the trigger point detected by manual palpation in the medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, soleus, flexor digitorum brevis, quadratus plantae, abductor hallucis brevis muscles. Patients in the 2nd group, Patients in this group received three sessions of ESWT (MASTERPLUS MP 200 ENERGY 2 trademarked ESWT device) at an energy density of 2 bars and a frequency of 2,000 shocks/min at 12 Hz for three weeks, each session once a week. Each of the five most sensitive and painful points was given 400 pulses in the supine position
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by the presence of trigger points in muscles and fascia in various parts of the body. Due to the pain, it has negative effects on function, restricting movements and daily life activities. Several invasive and non-invasive methods with proven effectiveness are described in the management of myofascial pain syndrome. In this study, investigators aimed to compare the effect of kinesiotaping with dry needling and lidocaine injection treatment. İnvestigators hypothesized, that the effect of kinesiotaping have similar results compared to the invasiv treatment methods in the treatment of MPS. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome in the upper trapezius were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into three groups. Twenty-two patients were randomly selected among patients who received kinesiotaping treatment (n:22). Twenty-two patients who received dry needling treatment (group 2) and 22 patients who received lidocaine injection treatment were randomly selected as controls. Patients were evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Short Form (SF-36) scales, which were completed before and 3 weeks after the treatment.
Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a common health problem among men and can cause severe quality of life. The pathophysiology of CPPS is still poorly understood and effective treatments are a challenging issue. This study aims to investigate the possible relationship between the presence of microorganisms in the prostatic fluid and symptom severity by presenting a retrospective analysis based on data from CPPS patients.
