Article Synopsis
  • This study compares two types of transcutaneous neurostimulation (TENS) for treating chronic radicular pain: conventional high-frequency low-intensity current (c-TENS) vs. mixed current (m-TENS), which combines c-TENS with low-frequency high-intensity current.
  • Seventy-four patients with chronic neuropathic pain participated in the trial and received both treatments in a randomized order over a month; the primary outcome measured was pain level using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
  • Results showed no significant difference in pain relief between c-TENS and m-TENS, with similar tolerance levels for both, indicating that there’s no clear preference for either treatment method in managing chronic neuropathic radicular pain.

Unlabelled: Botulinum toxin is a proven and widely used treatment for numerous conditions characterized by excessive muscular contractions. Recent studies have assessed the analgesic effect of botulinum toxin in joint pain and started to unravel its mechanisms.

Literature-search-methodology: We searched the international literature via the Medline database using the term "intraarticular botulinum toxin injection" combined with any of the following terms: "knee", "ankle", "shoulder", "osteoarthritis", "adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder".

Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, with unknown origin. Some studies have noted impaired postural balance in AIS, in particular, difficulty to manage situations with sensory conflict. The motion sickness susceptibility can be secondary to a sensory conflict, for example, between visual and vestibular information.

Unlabelled: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a tridimensional deformity of the spinal column. This frequent disease, which has no clearly identified pathogenic mechanism, can have serious consequences. It has been hypothesized that unilateral and isolated vestibular disorders could be the origin of AIS.
