Objectives: This study aims to evaluate and compare the therapeutic effectiveness of static dry needling (S-DN), dynamic dry needling (D-DN), and a combined technique (CT) for managing myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).
Patients And Methods: Between January 1, 2023 and April 15, 2023, a total of 38 patients (9 males, 29 females; mean age: 40.5±12.
Article Synopsis
- * A significant increase in interest was noted, particularly in high-income states, with no seasonal variations affecting the relative search volume.
- * Growing public interest indicates a rising demand for education and accessible information on Dry Needling therapy for healthcare professionals and students.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of varying ozone doses on proinflammatory cytokine levels in the synovial fluid collected from individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Patients And Methods: The controlled clinical trial was conducted with 82 patients (61 females, 21 males; mean age: 63.1±10.
Article Synopsis
- The study tracked public interest in Lipedema using Google Trends data from 2004 to present, focusing on search volume in states with varying median incomes.
- Public interest has notably increased over time, especially in higher-income states, although seasonal or monthly variations were not significant.
- The results suggest a growing awareness of Lipedema, indicating a need for better education and resources related to the condition in medical training programs.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on assessing the accuracy and consistency of pain patterns related to lumbar radicular pain (LRP) using the AI model ChatGPT-4o, given that LRP affects a significant portion of the population.
- Conducted over one month at Üsküdar State Hospital, the study involved comparisons of ChatGPT's responses with those of experienced specialists, using an anatomical model for LRP patterns.
- Results showed that ChatGPT's markings were not only inconsistent with itself over time but also significantly different from the specialists' assessments, indicating that AI tools like ChatGPT need further improvements and validation for reliable medical applications.
Unlabelled: This study assessed osteoporosis knowledge and awareness among multiple sclerosis patients. The findings reveal a concerning lack of knowledge and awareness regarding osteoporosis, emphasizing the necessity for educational interventions to enhance early detection and mitigate complications within this particular patient group.
Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness of osteoporosis in Turkish multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the quality and readability of osteoporosis information provided by ChatGPT, finding that it was complex and required around 17 years of education to fully understand.
- - Tools like EQIP and Flesch-Kincaid were used to assess responses, revealing serious quality issues and low readability scores, indicating that the information may not be easy for patients to comprehend.
- - Despite ChatGPT being a readily available resource for health information, the findings suggest it does not meet the necessary healthcare standards for quality and accessibility.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 328 videos reviewed, most targeted nonhealthcare professionals, demonstrated intermediate quality and moderate reliability, and were generally comprehensible.
- * The findings highlight the need for improved video quality and reliability on TBI topics, advocating for clearer language and better oversight to help disseminate reliable health information online.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the quality, readability, and comprehension of texts generated by ChatGPT in response to commonly asked questions about spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: The study utilized Google Trends to identify the most frequently searched keywords related to SCI. The identified keywords were sequentially inputted into ChatGPT, and the resulting responses were assessed for quality using the Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQIP) tool.
Article Synopsis
- This research aimed to assess the impact of adding dry needling (DN) to conventional rehabilitation on pain, range of motion (ROM), and functionality for patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP).
- A total of 38 patients were divided into two groups; one received standard rehabilitation while the other received the same treatment plus DN therapy over a series of sessions.
- While both groups showed improvement post-treatment, only minor differences were found in ROM, and no clinically significant advancements were observed at the three-month follow-up, suggesting that DN may not add substantial benefits to traditional methods.
