Thoracolumbar fascia ultrasound shear strain differs between low back pain and asymptomatic individuals: expanding the evidence.
Insights Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Radio-Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Université de Montréal, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Objectives: To compare thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) shear strain between individuals with and without nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP), investigate its correlation with symptoms, and assess a standardized massage technique's impact on TLF shear strain.
Methods: Participants were prospectively enrolled between February 2021 and June 2022. Pre- and post-intervention TLF ultrasound and pain/disability questionnaires were conducted.
Focused shock wave and ultrasound therapies in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis - a randomized control trial.
Sci Rep
October 2024
Institute of Sport Sciences, Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, Katowice, Mikolowska 72A, 40-065, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to compare focused shock wave therapy (FSWT) and ultrasound therapy for treating lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in 60 patients divided into three groups: FSWT, ultrasound, and placebo.
- Significant pain reduction and functional improvement were noted in all groups at 6 and 12 weeks, but FSWT had a greater therapeutic effect compared to ultrasound.
- Both FSWT and ultrasound improved strength in wrist extensors and grip but showed no significant difference in muscle strength changes between the two active treatments; a combination of FSWT and deep friction massage was recommended.
The Effect of Physiotherapy on Erectile Dysfunction Secondary to Prostatic Adenectomy: A Randomized Control Trial Study.
Urol J
October 2024
Department of Physical Therapy, Physiotherapy Research Center, School of Rehabilitation, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Purpose: The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the impact of manual therapy (friction massage) and pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training on erectile dysfunction (ED), pelvic floor muscle thickness, and blood flow in the penile arteries and veins in men who have undergone prostatic adenectomy (PA).
Materials And Methods: This study employed a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial design. Forty patients participated and were divided into two groups: intervention and control (n=20 per group).
Effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy versus ultrasonic therapy and deep friction massage in the management of lateral epicondylitis: a randomized clinical trial.
Sci Rep

Rehabilitation Research Chair, Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, College of Applied Medical Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Article Synopsis
- * Participants were divided into two groups, with group A receiving ESWT and group B receiving US plus deep friction massage, and data was collected at baseline, week 3, and week 7 using pain rating scales.
- * Results showed a significant improvement in both groups over time, but ESWT proved to be more effective than the combination therapy in reducing symptoms of lateral epicondylitis (p < 0.001).
Microchanneling and ultrasonic delivery of gold and platinum nanoparticles for selective photothermolysis of sebaceous follicles in the treatment of acne: a pilot study using porcine skin.

July 2024
Department of Dermatology, Kyung Hee University College of Medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, #23, Kyung Hee Dae-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02447, Korea.
Purpose: Several treatment options for acne vulgaris are limited by their associated adverse effects. An innovative approach involves introducing light-absorbing nanoparticles into sebaceous follicles before destroying the follicles using selective photothermolysis. We aimed to investigate efficient methods for introducing gold and platinum nanoparticles into sebaceous follicles and to identify suitable laser equipment and parameters for the effective destruction of these follicles.
