Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness of acupuncture in alleviating pain and improving function, range of motion, and quality of life in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), compared to sham acupuncture.
- A randomized controlled trial with 80 participants showed that the acupuncture group experienced significant improvements in all measured outcomes, including pain and range of motion, over the control group.
- The findings suggest that acupuncture is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment option for SIS, with benefits lasting at least one month after treatment.
Article Synopsis
- * Sixty-six patients were randomly assigned to one of the two medications, and their progress was measured using various scales over a period of 12 weeks.
- * Results showed improvements in pain and functional scores for both medications after 4 weeks, with some enhancements in mental health and sleep quality observed at different intervals, suggesting that these medications can effectively help manage osteoarthritis symptoms.
Objective: The purpose of the study is to explore the rehabilitation status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and anxiety level of their caregivers during the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods: Caregivers of children with CP who were being followed up in our outpatient CP clinic were contacted between May 28 and June 26, 2020. Two hundred and six caregivers who voluntarily agreed to participate were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and were questioned about the rehabilitation status of their children.
Background: Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is the term of persistent back and/or leg pain after lumbar surgery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (r-TMS) is a technique that allows noninvasive and relatively painless stimulation of cerebral cortex. It can reduce the experience of chronic pain by producing the small electrical currents in the cortex via magnetic field.

Design: In this double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 57 patients (aged 35-65 yrs) were classified into night pain positive (NP[+]) (n = 28) and night pain negative (NP[-]) (n = 29) groups. Both groups were randomly assigned to SWD (NP[+], n = 14; NP[-], n = 14) and sham (NP[+], n = 15; NP[-], n = 14) subgroups.
Background/aim: A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound therapy in primary knee osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: Ninety patients between 40 and 65 years of age having grade 2 and 3 bilateral knee osteoarthritis enrolled in the study were randomly assigned into 3 groups: continuous ultrasound, pulsed ultrasound, and placebo ultrasound. All patients were given a home exercise program.
Objective: There is ongoing controversy related to the relationship between bisphosphonates and atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim in this study was to evaluate the potential acute effect of zoledronic acid (ZA) infusion on AF development by using 24-hour Holter recordings.
Methods: The study was designed to be a self-controlled case series study, and 33 consecutive patients with osteoporosis (29 females, age: 62.
