The effects of photobiomodulation and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on chronic neck pain: A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial.

Background: Photobiomodulation (PBM) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) are used to reduce neck pain.

Objective: To investigate the immediate and 1-month post-treatment effects of 10 treatment sessions of PBM and TENS delivered over 2 weeks on pain intensity in individuals with neck pain.

Methods: Individuals with neck pain were randomized into four groups: PBM+TENS, PBM, TENS, and Sham.

Clinical evaluation of combined autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma and Volume-Controlled Ozone Therapy in Facial Rejuvenation: A randomized controlled Pilot Study.

Platelet rich plasma and ozone therapy have been suggested in the clinical setting as promising and adjuvant therapies for managing the symptoms related to the facial aging. However, there is a lack of evidence about the effects of combining both therapies on rejuvenation. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate and to compare the safety and efficacy of both therapies in facial aging.

Cardiac autonomic response to acute painful stimulus in individuals with chronic neck pain: A case-control study.

Purpose: Characterize heart rate and cardiac autonomic response to painful stimulus on neck pain.

Methods: Twenty-five individuals with neck pain and 25 healthy subjects were included. Heart rate variability and heart rate were assessed in the conditioned pain modulation test at pretest rest, during testing and in recovery.
