Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a home-based neurodynamic technique focused on femoral nerve mobilization for individuals with KO over a 6-8 week period.
- Results showed significant and lasting improvements in pain levels, functionality, and overall quality of life metrics for participants, indicating that this at-home program can effectively benefit those suffering from KO.
The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of a home-based neurodynamic programme for patients with knee osteoarthritis (KO). Thirty participants (70% women) ≥ 50 years old with KO (Kellgren-Lawrence grades I-II) were included. Active mobilisation of the femoral nerve was performed at home over a period of 6-8 weeks.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how effective cervical manual therapy (MT) is for patients suffering from temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and to compare two types of therapy: cervico-craniomandibular MT and standard cervical MT.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, involving a search of multiple medical databases, with two independent reviewers analyzing relevant clinical trials and assessing their quality using the GRADE method.
- Findings indicated that cervical MT significantly reduced pain intensity and improved pain thresholds, while cervico-craniomandibular MT showed even greater short-term benefits in pain reduction and mouth-opening capability compared to cervical MT alone, although the evidence for cervico-craniomandibular MT was not
Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated how aerobic exercise (AE) affects migraines in terms of pain intensity, frequency, duration, and quality of life, using data from 10 studies with a total of 508 patients.
- Results indicated that AE significantly reduced pain intensity, frequency, and duration of migraines, while also improving patients' quality of life, although there was some publication bias regarding the quality of life outcomes.
- The findings suggest low to moderate quality evidence that aerobic exercise can be an effective way to manage migraines by lessening symptoms and enhancing overall well-being.
