AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how Kinesiology taping (KT) and Core-stabilization exercises (CSE) impact various health aspects in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).
- Participants (35 total) were divided into three groups to assess pain, functional ability, psychological status, sleep issues, kinesiophobia, and lumbar range of motion after treatment.
- Results showed that all groups experienced significant improvements, but the combined KT and CSE group had the most favorable outcomes across all measures.
Article Abstract
Objective: Properly-designed exercises and use of different physiotherapeutic modalities have been shown to be useful in the management of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). This research examined the effects of Kinesiology taping (KT) and Core-stabilization exercises (CSE) on pain intensity, lumbar range of motion, functional disability, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance and Kinesiophobia in patients with NSCLBP.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Settings: Two tertiary health facilities.
Participants: Thirty-five patients (28 males and 7 females) with NSCLBP were allocated into three groups (KT + CSE, CSE and KT only).
Main Outcome Measure: Pain intensity, functional disability, psychological status, sleep disturbance, kinesiophobia and lumbar range of motion (LROM) were assessed.
Results: The results revealed reduction in pain intensity, improved functional ability, psychological status (Depression and Anxiety), kinesiophobia, decreased sleep disturbance and increased LROM (P < 0.001) within each of the groups post-intervention.
Conclusion: All participants had improved clinical outcomes. However, KT + CSE group had better result in all the clinical outcomes.
Clinical Trial Registry Number: PACTR201807604459572.

Co-Designing a Digital Brief Intervention to Reduce the Risk of Prescription Opioid-Related Harm Among People With Chronic Noncancer Pain: Qualitative Analysis of Patient Lived Experiences.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Background: Opioid medications are important for pain management, but many patients progress to unsafe medication use. With few personalized and accessible behavioral treatment options to reduce potential opioid-related harm, new and innovative patient-centered approaches are urgently needed to fill this gap.
Objective: This study involved the first phase of co-designing a digital brief intervention to reduce the risk of opioid-related harm by investigating the lived experience of chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) in treatment-seeking patients, with a particular focus on opioid therapy experiences.
The PainSMART project: Protocol for a research program on effectiveness, mechanisms of effect and patient-practitioner experiences of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual primary care physiotherapy management for musculoskeletal pain.

Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) disorders entail a significant burden for individuals and healthcare systems. The PainSMART-strategy has been developed aiming to reduce divergences between patients and healthcare practitioners in their understanding of MSKP by providing a shared basis for communication and to facilitate patients' self-management of MSKP. The objective of the PainSMART-project is to evaluate the effects of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual physiotherapy management compared to usual physiotherapy management alone.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established treatment option for advanced knee osteoarthritis, yet some patients remain unsatisfied after surgery. Evaluation of various psychosocial parameters may improve patient optimization and outcomes. The primary aim was to assess whether preoperative resilience remained stable and influenced decision regret postoperatively while the secondary aim was to evaluate its correlation with joint-specific and global health patient-reported outcome measures.

Background: The objective was to investigate if cryoneurolysis were superior to sham in reducing pain intensity in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that cryoneurolysis was an effective and safe therapy to reduce chronic pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: The study was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled.

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (GNRFA) for chronic knee pain using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health, Physical Health score (PROMIS-GH-PH).
Methods: Patients who underwent GNRFA at a tertiary academic center were identified by CPT code query and contacted for consent. Demographic, clinical, and procedural characteristics were collected from the electronic medical record of participants with baseline PROMIS-GH-PH scores.
