Background: Cubital tunnel syndrome (CBTS) impairs hand function, with limited conservative options often leading to surgery. Chitosan neuroregenerative effects delivered via phonophoresis provide a rationale for testing this emerging treatment approach.
Purpose: The primary goal of this research was to assess the impact of chitosan phonophoresis on the conductivity of the ulnar nerve, as well as its effects on pain levels and functional outcomes in individuals diagnosed with mild to moderate CBTS.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effects of adding extracorporeal shock wave therapy or corticosteroid injections to a standard physical therapy program for shoulder impingement syndrome.
- Participants were divided into three groups: one received physical therapy plus corticosteroid injections, another received only physical therapy, and the third received physical therapy plus shock wave therapy.
- At 12 weeks, those who had shock wave therapy showed better improvements in shoulder function and pain relief compared to the other two treatments, highlighting its effectiveness.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of deep-stripping and trigger-point pressure release massage on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), jaw mobility, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) of masticatory muscles in patients with sleep bruxism. A randomized controlled trial was conducted among 45 patients diagnosed with sleep bruxism. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups.

Methods: This parallel group, single-blinded randomised controlled trial was conducted in two outpatient physical therapy clinics. Study participants (n=60, with age>45 years) with mild-to-moderate bilateral KOA were randomised into the study group (SG) and control group (CG).
Objectives: To investigate the effect of mobilization with movement (MWM) on pulmonary functions in subjects with thoracic hyperkyphosis.
Methods: This randomized single-blinded controlled trial included a sample of 50 subjects (age 18 - 25 years old) with thoracic hyperkyphosis. Subjects were randomly allocated into two groups; the Real MWM group (n = 25) which received thoracic MWM plus standard postural correction exercises, and the Sham MWM group (n = 25) which received sham MWM plus standard postural correction exercises.
