Combination of Manual Therapy and Dry Needling Effectively Improves Acute Neck Pain and Muscular Tone and Stiffness in Combat Sports Athletes: A Randomized Controlled Study.
J Sports Sci Med
December 2024
Medical Department Wojciech Korfanty, Upper Silesian Academy, Katowice, Poland.
This study aimed to compare the effects of manual therapy combined with dry needling (MTDN) to a control group, focusing on the impact on pressure pain threshold (PPT), muscle tone (MT), muscle stiffness (MS), muscle strength, and range of motion in the neck muscles of adult combat sports athletes. A randomized controlled study design was employed, with one group of athletes (n = 15) receiving MTDN intervention, while the other group (n = 15) underwent a control treatment (CG) involving a quasi-needle technique combined with manual therapy. Both groups participated in three sessions, either in the MTDN intervention or the control condition.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Tongxiang First People's Hospital, Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Upper limb rehabilitation robot is a relatively new technology, but its effectiveness remains debatable due to the inconsistent results of clinical trials. This article intends to assess how upper limb rehabilitation robots help the functional recovery of stroke patients.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for eligible studies to explore the effect of upper limb rehabilitation robots on upper limb motor function, muscle tone, and daily living activities.
The Effects of Growth Hormone Treatment Beyond Growth Promotion in Patients with Genetic Syndromes: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Recombinant human growth hormone therapy (rhGH) has been widely accepted as the safe treatment for short stature in children with such genetic syndromes as Prader-Willi syndrome and Turner or Noonan syndrome. Some patients with short stature and rare genetic syndromes are treated with rhGH as growth hormone-deficient individuals or as children born small for their gestational age. After years of experience with this therapy in syndromic short stature, it has been proved that there are some aspects of long-term rhGH treatment beyond growth promotion, which can justify rhGH use in these individuals.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that ADHD was more common in patients with ChP compared to those without, and that ChP in ADHD patients was linked to increased muscle tone and was more widespread and started earlier in life.
- * The findings indicate that ChP associated with ADHD differs qualitatively from that in patients without ADHD, suggesting a need for deeper investigation into the connections between ADHD and chronic pain mechanisms.
Muscular tension in ear surgeons during cochlear implantations: does a new microscope improve musculoskeletal complaints?

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstraße 55, 45147, Essen, Germany.
Purpose: Musculoskeletal complaints and fatigue are commonly described symptoms in daily work of ear nose and throat surgeons using a microscope. Long ear surgical procedures are associated with prolonged microscope use, which can lead to unconsciously tense and uncomfortable body posture. The digital microscope RoboticScope allows visualization of surgical site through a Head-Mounted Display, independent from camera head and is therefore much easier on the back, as the sitting position can be adjusted flexibly.
