Unlabelled: Introduction-Aim: Chronic low back pain affects 80% of individuals at some point in their lives and has significant socioeconomic impacts. This study aims to compare the efficacy of mesotherapy with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in treating chronic low back pain.
Methods: A randomized bicentric study was conducted at the Military Hospital of Tunis and the Multidisciplinary Military Polyclinic of Mefeteh Saadallah between August 2023 and June 2024.
Article Synopsis
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disabling condition affecting the brain and spinal cord, and falls pose a significant health risk for individuals with MS (PwMS).
- A study conducted at the Military Hospital of Tunis surveyed 30 PwMS to assess the frequency and factors associated with falls, finding that 21 participants had fallen at least once.
- Results indicated that certain clinical assessments and factors, like MS walking ability and vestibular issues, were significantly linked to the likelihood of falls, underlining the importance of using specific scales to identify individuals at risk.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of land-based versus aquatic-based exercises for improving knee osteoarthritis symptoms over an 8-week period.
- Results showed that patients in the aquatic exercise group experienced significantly greater reductions in pain and stiffness compared to those in the land-based group.
- Overall, both types of exercise improved quality of life, but the aquatic group demonstrated more substantial benefits in physical and mental health outcomes.
Introduction: Chronic low back pain is a public health problem in view of its functional repercussions and the functional rehabilitation is an integral part of its management.
Aim: To compare the evolution of muscle strentgh of spinal extensors and flexors in chronic low back pain patients after an isokinetic rehabilitation protocol and a conventional rehabilitation one.
Method: This was a prospective and comparative study carried out in the Physical Medicine Department of the Tunis Military Hospital over a period of 7 months.

Aim: To evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and radiological profile of children with CP and to study the therapeutic modalities in daily clinical practice.
Method: This was a retrospective, descriptive study, carried out in a physical medicine and rehabilitation department, including all the patients referred with the diagnosis of cerebral palsy between January 2000 and December 2016.
Background: This study aimed to assess the benefits of associating rehabilitation with therapeutic patient education (TPE) to decrease fear-avoidance belief and pain and improve function in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Methods: This randomized controlled study included 100 patients with CLBP according to the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) guidelines. The patients were divided into two teams: group A that participated in the TPE in association with rehabilitation and group B that received rehabilitation only.
