Laser auriculotherapy associated with cupping therapy in chronic spinal pain: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Musculoskeletal spine disorders are common causes of chronic pain and impair functionality. Laser auriculotherapy and cupping has played a significant role in the treatment of chronic pain.

Objective: to evaluate the effect of laser auriculotherapy associated with cupping at systemic acupuncture points on chronic spinal pain.

Effects of low-power laser auriculotherapy on chronic spinal pain: Randomized clinical trial.

Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the effect of laser auriculotherapy on chronic spinal pain. It is a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Methods: Volunteers with chronic spinal pain underwent three evaluations: an initial evaluation, a final evaluation immediately after the last intervention session, and a 15-day follow-up.

Analysis of the Muscular Activity, Peak Torque in the Lower Limbs, and Static Balance after Virtual Rehabilitation in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Study.

To analyze the effect of the exergaming on muscular activity at rest and on maximum voluntary isometric contraction by electromyography (EMG) at peak torque, widespread pressure hyperalgesia identified using a tender point count, and static balance in fibromyalgia. Thirty-five women were divided into two groups: Wii™ (virtual rehabilitation,  = 16) and control (stretching exercises,  = 19), through simple randomization. The volunteers were evaluated by means of EMG, dynamometry by load cell, baropodometry, and algometry before interventions and reevaluated after the 10th and 20th sessions.

Effects of Exergames in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Evaluation of the effects of exergames in women with fibromyalgia on the impact of the disease-pain threshold and physical variables-compared to performing stretching exercises. Thirty-five women were enrolled in the study and divided by simple randomization into two treatment groups: the control group ( = 19) and the Wii™ (exergames) group ( = 16). Participants were evaluated using the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ), algometry, step tests, cardiopulmonary parameters, and fatigue in the lower limbs.

Effect of Exergaming on Muscle Strength, Pain, and Functionality of Shoulders in Cancer Patients.

To compare the strength of the middle deltoid muscle by means of dynamometry and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) in participants in treatment for cancer after the practice of an exergaming protocol. We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty-eight voluntary participants were divided into two groups cancer group ( = 19; age = 61.

Effects of Exergaming in Cancer Related Fatigue in the Quality of Life and Electromyography of the Middle Deltoid of People with Cancer in Treatment: A Controlled Trial.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects an exergaming protocol for cancer patients who undergo or have already undergone cancer treatment. We sought to evaluate changes in cancer-related fatigue, function, and ability to perform daily activities, in addition to changes in the electromyographic pattern of the middle deltoid muscle. Methods: We conducted a controlled trial.
