This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of exercise interventions for managing nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) and explores their impact on related biopsychosocial factors, physical health variables, and inflammatory biomarkers. : A comprehensive search of five databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PEDro, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library) was conducted, covering studies from 2019 to 2024. Fifteen randomized controlled trials involving 1338 participants aged 18 to 65 years with NSLBP were included.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The main objective of this review is to demonstrate the use of Peripheral Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS), together with its most up-to-date protocols, for the treatment of neuropathies.
Design: We conducted a systematic search for randomised clinical trials evaluating the effectiveness of PENS on pain intensity, sleep quality, oral analgesic intake and depression in patients with neuropathic pain.
Data Sources: The search was performed in Pubmed, PEDro and Cochrane databases.
Objectives: This cross-sectional observational study examines the relationship between chronic cervico-cranio-mandibular pain, a significant health concern associated with temporomandibular disorders, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Given the high prevalence of cervical pain and the gap in adequate treatment for temporomandibular disorders, this research highlights the interplay between psychological, social factors, and musculoskeletal health.
Methods: The study, conducted from January to June 2023, included 114 participants (mean age = 31 ± 12 years, 69.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes, complications, and mortality of patients with intertrochanteric hip fracture treated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) vs. trochanteric fixation nail advance (TFNA).
Methods: We evaluated 152 patients with intertrochanteric fractures concerning age, sex, comorbidity, Charlson Index, preoperative gait, OTA/AO classification, time from fracture to surgery, blood loss, amount of blood replacement, changes in gait, full weight-bearing at hospital discharge, complications, and mortality.

is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness of the cranial and skeletal muscles, however, neuropathies are extremely rare. In this case report we present a case of a 61-year-old man diagnosed who came to our attention due to a 1 week of acute deep pain [NPRS 8/10] in the anterior and medial right knee which occurred during walking [NPRS 8/10] or stair climbing [NPRS 9/10]. A complete medical record and clinical examination based on physical exploration and ultrasound assessment confirmed a infrapatellar saphenous neuralgia.
