Objectives: To evaluate the combined effect of two different regenerative therapies, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), along with therapeutic exercise, in patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE).
Design: Prospective, Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial.
Settings: Outpatient clinic.
Objective: Ideal volume of 5% dextrose (D5W) for median nerve hydrodissection (HD) for treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is still unknown. This study assessed the efficacy of nerve hydrodissection using varying volumes of D5W for treating mild to moderate CTS.
Design: Eighty participants with unilateral mild to moderate CTS were randomized into groups to receive either 5 ml of normal saline (NS), 5 ml of D5W, 10 ml of NS, and 10 ml of D5W, with each group undergoing one session of ultrasound-guided HD.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares traditional motorized traction and non-surgical spinal decompression to conventional treatment for low back pain caused by lumbar discopathy, focusing on their effectiveness.
- It reviewed data from 160 patients, considering factors like age, symptom duration, and treatment outcomes, and found significant improvements in pain and disability for all treatment types post-therapy.
- Motorized traction and spinal decompression were shown to be more effective than conventional treatment alone, with both showing similar results in improving patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The article addresses updates made to a previously published paper identified by DOI: 10.7759/cureus.69610.
- It likely includes clarifications or corrections to the original findings or data presented.
- The correction aims to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the research published in the initial article.
Article Synopsis
- There is a need for effective and user-friendly balance assessment tools for stroke patients, leading to a study comparing the dual-task Timed Up-and-Go test (DTUG) and the 3-m walk backward test (3MBWT).
- The study measured the practicality, reliability, and validity of both tests, using methods like test-retest reliability and concurrent validity against other established assessments.
- Results showed that while the 3MBWT was quicker to perform, the DTUG was better at distinguishing between patients who were at risk of falling after a stroke.
