Osteopathic Manual Therapy for Infant Colic: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

Background: Infant colic is a multifactorial syndrome for which various therapeutic strategies have been proposed. In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic manual therapy in treating symptoms related to infant colic.

Method: A prospective, randomised, blinded clinical trial was conducted of patients diagnosed with infant colic.

Clinical relevance of resistance training in women with fibromyalgia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Objective: There has been an increase in the number of papers assessing the effects of resistance training (RT) in patients with fibromyalgia. Therefore, the objective of our study was to evaluate the clinical relevance and effectiveness of RT for pain intensity, functionality and severity of the disease specifically in women with fibromyalgia through a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Databases And Data Treatment: Seven databases were searched.

This Is My Baby Interview: An Adaptation to the Spanish Language and Culture.

Evaluating the emotional state of parents is important for determining the intervention in the context of a family with a baby with Down syndrome. "This is my baby" is an interview that measures the acceptance, commitment and awareness of influence of parents towards their baby. The Spanish adaptation of this instrument helps to better understand the emotional state of parents of children with developmental disorders.

Clinical relevance of massage therapy and abdominal hypopressive gymnastics on chronic nonspecific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To determine the clinical relevance of the effects that Massage-Therapy (MT) and Abdominal-Hypopressive-Gymnastics (AHG) and the combination of both procedures have on the disability, pain intensity, quality of life, and lumbar mobility of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP).

Methods: A randomized controlled-trial with parallel-groups, concealed allocation, assessor blinding, and intention-to-treat analysis was carried out. The sample included 60 adults with CNSLBP.

Effects of Massage Therapy on the Development of Babies Born with Down Syndrome.

Objective: To determine the short-term effects of infant massage on the development of Down syndrome babies.

Materials And Methods: The study compared two groups (intervention and control), each with 16 babies with Down syndrome between 4 and 8 months old. The variables developmental age and developmental quotient were measured at two distinct time points, at pretest and after 5 weeks, using the Brunet-Lézine Early Childhood Psychomotor Development revised scale.

Effectiveness of an Eye-Cervical Re-Education Program in Chronic Neck Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives: Proprioceptive training is popularly applied as a therapeutic exercise method in physiotherapy. Its effects on pain and range of motion are only poorly evaluated. Therefore, this study assesses the effectiveness of proprioceptive training with an Eye-Cervical Re-education Program to decrease pain and increase the joint range in chronic neck pain patients.

Guillain-Barre syndrome and Zika infection: identifying leading producers, countries relative specialization and collaboration.

Zika virus (Zikv) infection implies a significant public health issue due to the different syndromes associated. It is related to several central nervous system problems, such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barre Syndrome. In this way, the first document about the relation of Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Zika indexed in Web of Science was published in 2014.

Efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound in pain and joint mobility in whiplash traumatic acute and subacute phases.

To determine if ultrasound (US) is effective in reducing pain and mobility limitation in the treatment of traumatic cervical sprain, we performed an experimental study. The sample comprised 54 diagnosed subjects with a mean age of 36.54 y (standard deviation = 12.

Spanish version of the broome pelvic muscle self-efficacy scale: validity and reliability.

Background: Self-efficacy appears to be an important predictor of functional recovery for women with urinary incontinence, but no specific Spanish-language questionnaires for measuring pelvic-floor exercise self-efficacy exist.

Objective: The aim of this study was to design a valid and reliable Spanish version of the Broome Pelvic Muscle Self-Efficacy Scale to measure self-efficacy, as perceived by women with urinary incontinence, in performing pelvic-floor exercises.

Design: This was an observational validation study.

Design and validation of GCH System 1.0 which measures the weight-bearing exerted on forearm crutches during aided gait.

Normally, when the patient's functional recovery involves partial weight-bearing aided walking using forearm crutches, it is not possible to control the amount of weight-bearing objectively that the individuals carry out and its progression. This leads to significant errors in accuracy and, consequently, complications and after effects in pathologies. To compensate for this deficiency, we have set out to design and validate a measurement system and a computerized record of the loads exerted on Canadian crutches in aided walking as well as incorporating a mechanism for acoustic and visual biofeedback that will inform the subject if said charges are correct, so that they are able correct their errors and avoid problems in their recovery.
