Effect of selective manual therapy techniques in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A randomized control trial.
J Taibah Univ Med Sci
December 2024
Department of Basic Science, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt.
Objective: To investigate the effect of selective manual therapy (MT) techniques on chest expansion, pulmonary function (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1], and FEV1/FVC ratio), craniovertebral angle (CVA), kyphosis angle, functional capacity, and dyspnea in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods: A parallel double-blinded randomized controlled trial involved 52 male subjects with a mean age of 56.23 ± 3.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is highly prevalent and relevant in all medical fields. This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of interdisciplinary fascia therapy (IFT) for CLBP, focusing on its potential to reduce pain intensity, disability, and regulate autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. Nine participants with CLBP each underwent nine sessions of IFT, twice weekly.

: Stroke patients generally have balance and gait dysfunction due to decreased range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength of the ankle joint. A therapist can apply a floss band to enhance ROM, pain control, jump performance, strength, myofascial release, and recovery from fatigue. This study compared the immediate effects of floss band application on ankle ROM, balance, and gait ability in stroke patients.

Neurology Department, Medicine Faculty, Alanya Aladdin Keykubat University, Alanya, Antalya, Turkey.
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of myofascial release and craniosacral therapy on the quality of life, pain levels, and range of motion (ROM) in patients with chronic migraine headaches. The secondary aim of this study was to develop a migraine treatment protocol using current craniosacral techniques.
Methods: Patients with chronic migraine in the Neurology Department of ALKU Hospital were randomly allocated to 3 therapy groups: (1) Craniosacral Treatment Craniosacral Techniques (CST) + Medical Treatment (MT) (CST group) ( = 24), (2) myofascial treatment (MFT) ( = 24) + MT (MFT group), and (3) MT (control group) only ( = 26).
Abdominal Wall-targeted Myofascial Release Therapy in Pediatric Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Feasibility and Acceptability Study.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Integrative Health Program, Philadelphia, USA.
Background: Myofascial release (MFR) is a form of massage therapy that involves identifying and releasing restrictions in the fascia and muscles. MFR-like techniques have shown improvement in abdominal pain, distention, constipation, and quality of life (QoL) in adults. Therefore, MFR may be helpful in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disorder of gut-brain interaction or functional gastrointestinal disorder, mainly presenting with prolonged abdominal pain, bloating, and altered defecation patterns, leading to impairment in QoL.
