Objectives: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of Yoga-based exercise program on pain, range of motion (ROM), quality of sleep, depression and quality of life in female patients with myofacial pain of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Materials And Methods: 39 Female patients with myofacial pain of TMD were included in the study. Yoga based exercise program was performed to the first group and second group was control group.
Introduction: This study investigates the Health-Led Growth Hypothesis (HLGH) within OECD countries, examining how health expenditures influence economic growth and the role of different health financing systems in this relationship.
Methods: Utilizing a comprehensive analysis spanning 2000 to 2019 across 38 OECD countries, advanced econometric methodologies were employed. Both second-generation panel data estimators (Dynamic CCEMG, CS-ARDL, AMG) and first-generation models (Panel ARDL with PMG, FMOLS, DOLS) were utilized to test the hypothesis.
Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a set of symptoms that negatively affect the daily life activities of the individual, leading to functional disability and significant loss of labor, especially in young adults. PFPS is usually due to weakness of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) resulting in abnormal patellar tracking and pain. Our study aims to compare the efficacy of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on pain and lower extremity function in the treatment of PFPS with different electrophysical agents (EPAs).

Relative motion extension orthosis (RME-O) has recently emerged as a treatment option for various hand disorders involving TF.
Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 6 weeks of orthotic treatment with the MCPJ-BO and the RME-O for pain relief.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of a short opponens splint combined with hand exercises on pain, functionality, daily activities, and work performance in computer engineers suffering from wrist pain.
- - Forty-five engineers were split into three groups: one used both splints and exercises, another did exercises only, and the third had no treatment over 8 weeks.
- - Results showed significant improvements in groups utilizing treatments compared to the no-treatment group, indicating that either splints or exercise were effective, but there was no major difference between the two treatment approaches.
