Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of acupuncture in alleviating pain and improving function, range of motion, and quality of life in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), compared to sham acupuncture.
- A randomized controlled trial with 80 participants showed that the acupuncture group experienced significant improvements in all measured outcomes, including pain and range of motion, over the control group.
- The findings suggest that acupuncture is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment option for SIS, with benefits lasting at least one month after treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * Sixty-six patients were randomly assigned to one of the two medications, and their progress was measured using various scales over a period of 12 weeks.
- * Results showed improvements in pain and functional scores for both medications after 4 weeks, with some enhancements in mental health and sleep quality observed at different intervals, suggesting that these medications can effectively help manage osteoarthritis symptoms.
Objectives: Hallux valgus (HV) is a progressive foot deformity in which the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is affected. The relationship between the dome height of the first metatarsal head and the HV deformity has not been studied previously. This study aimed to investigate a possible relation of the dome height of the first metatarsal head with articular alignment and the hallux valgus angle (HVA), which is frequently used to evaluate HV.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on pain, functionality, quality of life, and cartilage thickness in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods: Sixty patients with chronic knee pain were randomly separated into two groups. The first group was administered 4-ml PRP intra-articularly (IA) in three doses at one-week intervals, and the second group had only one dose of a 4-ml saline solution IA.
