- This study aimed to assess how vitamin D replacement therapy affects musculoskeletal symptoms and overall quality of life in patients with chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain (CWP) and vitamin D deficiency.
- A total of 58 patients received weekly oral vitamin D3 treatment for three months, with significant improvements in pain, fatigue, depression levels, and overall quality of life observed after the treatment.
- The results showed elevated vitamin D levels and a decrease in fibromyalgia symptoms, with 85% of patients reporting satisfaction with the treatment, highlighting the importance of checking vitamin D levels in CWP patients.
Unlabelled: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication following spinal cord injury (SCI). Although DVT of the upper extremity is much less common than DVT of the lower extremities, the risk of pulmonary embolism following upper-extremity DVT should not be disregarded.
Method: Case report.
Background: Plantar fasciitis often leads to disability. Optimal treatment for this clinical condition is still unknown.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of wearing a full-length silicone insole with ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in the management of plantar fasciitis.
The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of fibromyalgia (FM) in patients with episodic migraine and to evaluate the relationship between migraine characteristics and FM. One hundred and eighteen consecutive patients (mean age = 38 years, 75% women) fulfilling the International Classification of Headache Disorders-II criteria for migraine with (n = 22) and without (n = 96) aura from an outpatient headache clinic of a university hospital were evaluated. The diagnosis of FM was made based on the 1990 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria.
