Comparative Study of Pain Relief in Two Non-Pharmacological Treatments in Patients with Partial Rotator Cuff Tears: A Randomized Trial.

Background: Pain induction is the primary characteristic of a rotator cuff tear while muscle weakness appears as a secondary feature, leading to further disability.

Objectives: The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic interventions through transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation (MENS) in conjunction with kinesiotherapy in patients with partial thickness rotator cuff tear.

Methods: This was a blinded randomized prospective study.

Osteoid osteoma of the radial styloid mimicking wrist arthritis: a case study.

Osteoid osteoma in the wrist and hand region is an uncommon but severely symptomatic primary bone tumour. We report the case of a professional athlete with a radial styloid osteoid osteoma who presented with significant wrist pain and stiffness resembling arthritis for which she was treated initially. The symptoms started after a fall on the outstretched hand and significant delay in the diagnosis occurred.
