Cervical repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation relieves idiopathic persistent hiccups: A preliminary study of case report.

Objective: We postulated that repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) might treat idiopathic persistent hiccups. This study aimed to determine the clinical effect of rPMS on hiccup alleviation.

Methods: Seven patients with idiopathic persistent hiccups experienced the cervical rPMS session (1 Hz, 656 stimuli) in this prospective clinical series from November 2018 to May 2021.

Comparing the efficacy of non-invasive physical therapy in improving pain and joint function of knee osteoarthritis: A protocol for systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: The incidence of knee osteoarthritis is increasing year by year, which seriously affects people's quality of life, especially the elderly, and has become a major public health problem. A lot of evidence shows that physical therapy has advantages in the treatment of knee joints, but there are a number of physical therapy schemes, and the efficacy of each scheme is different. This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy of different physical therapy regimens in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by means of network meta-analysis.
