September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Chronic low back pain significantly impacts quality of life, and combining various treatments appears to enhance outcomes compared to single therapies.
- This study compared the effects of a combination of monopolar dielectric diathermy radiofrequency (MDR) with supervised exercises against supervised exercises alone over an eight-week period.
- Results showed that the combination therapy led to significant improvements in pain, disability, kinesiophobia, lumbar mobility, and overall quality of life, making it more effective than exercise alone.

Altern Ther Health Med
November 2023
Objective: To evaluate the current evidence of the effectiveness of dry needling in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP).
Methods: PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, CINAHL and PEDro databases were searched until 2020.
Study Selection: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that used dry needling as the main treatment and which included participants diagnosed with chronic LBP.
Manipulative therapy of sacral torsion versus myofascial release in patients clinically diagnosed posterior pelvic pain: a consort compliant randomized controlled trial.
Spine J
November 2021
Background Context: Chronic low back pain represents a health care problem with substantial costs. It is generally accepted that approximately 10% to 25% of patients with persistent chronic low back pain may have pain arising from the sacroiliac joints.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effects of manipulative therapy of sacral torsion versus myofascial release on disability, pain intensity, and mobility in patients with chronic low back pain and sacroiliac joints.
Background: Phantom limb pain is reported in 50%-85% of people with amputation. Clinical interventions in treating central pain, such as mirror therapy, motor imagery, or virtual visual feedback, could redound in benefits to amputee patients with phantom limb pain.
Objectives: To provide an overview of the effectiveness of different techniques for treating phantom limb pain in amputee patients.
