Information Quality and Readability: ChatGPT's Responses to the Most Common Questions About Spinal Cord Injury.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the quality, readability, and comprehension of texts generated by ChatGPT in response to commonly asked questions about spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods: The study utilized Google Trends to identify the most frequently searched keywords related to SCI. The identified keywords were sequentially inputted into ChatGPT, and the resulting responses were assessed for quality using the Ensuring Quality Information for Patients (EQIP) tool.

Comparison of the effectiveness of high-intensity laser and ultrasound therapies in adhesive capsulitis: A randomized controlled study.

Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a common musculoskeletal disease characterized with shoulder pain, limitation of range of motion (ROM) and disability. Although physical therapy is used in the treatment of AC, studies on its effectiveness are continuing.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of ultrasound (US) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in the treatment of AC.

The short-term effects of balneotherapy on pain, disability and fatigue in patients with chronic low back pain treated with physical therapy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study aimed to compare whether there are positive effects of balneotherapy(BT) on pain, quality of life and disability of individuals receiving physical therapy(PT) for chronic low back pain and to examine the effect of body mass index(BMI) on treatment.

Materials And Method: This prospective, controlled, single blind study was conducted. Patients were randomized into two groups through a simple randomization in a 1:1 ratio.

Effect of balneotherapy on pain and fatigue in elderly with knee osteoarthritis receiving physical therapy: a randomized trial.

This study aimed to investigate whether balneotherapy (BT) applied in combination with physical therapy (PT) has a more positive effect in patients aged 65 years and older with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) compared to PT alone. A total of 305 individuals were randomized into two groups. Group I was applied PT alone; group II was applied PT + BT.

The effect of obesity on pain and disability in chronic shoulder pain patients.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic shoulder pain and the increase in BMI.

Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study design was adopted for the study. Two hundred and eighty-five patients with chronic shoulder pain were evaluated for eligibility.

Is the Duration of Spa Cure Treatment Important in Knee Osteoarthritis? A Randomized Controlled Study.

Background: Spa therapies are applied in varying durations. Today, the duration of spa therapy may be long for people with active lives. How should we determine the duration of treatment in order to minimize therapy costs and loss of labor force? Does the duration of treatment have an impact on pain, functional status, and quality of life of patients?

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the role of application time on the efficacy of spa therapy in individuals undergoing the same treatment protocol.

The effects of inpatient versus outpatient spa therapy on pain, anxiety, and quality of life in elderly patients with generalized osteoarthritis: a pilot study.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of inpatient vs outpatient spa therapy on pain, quality of life, and anxiety in elderly patients with generalized osteoarthritis. A total of 150 patients were randomized into three groups. Group I was given medical treatment, group II was treated as outpatients, and group III was treated as inpatient spa therapy.

Evaluation of vitamin D levels in patients with chronic low back-leg pain.

Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between the levels of vitamin D and patients with chronic low back-leg pain (CLBLP) and to investigate its effects on pain and functional capacity.

Methods: 145 patients (female/male:103/42) with CLBLP, aged between 35 and 65 years (mean age: 53,06 ± 8,14), participated in the study. Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) was used to measure the state of pain.

The importance of glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder.

Background: Although increased retroversion of the glenoid has been shown to be an important factor in posterior instability of the shoulder, there are few studies reporting glenoid bone structure as a risk factor in anterior dislocation of the shoulder. This study aimed to compare glenoid version in patients with anterior dislocation of the shoulder and individuals in a control group with no shoulder problems before undergoing computed tomography and to assess a possible relationship between demographic characteristics and glenoid version angle.

Methods: The study group comprised 63 patients (12 women and 51 men; mean age, 35.

Balneological outpatient treatment for patients with knee osteoarthritis; an effective non-drug therapy option in daily routine?

This study aims to compare the effects of balneological treatments applied at consecutive and intermittent sessions without interfering with their daily routine in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This is a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial. Fifty patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were included.

The effectiveness of balneotherapy in chronic neck pain.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of balneotherapy (BT), which is applied in addition to physical therapy (PT), in the treatment of chronic neck pain. Sixty patients with chronic neck pain were divided into study (n = 30) and control (n = 30) groups. All of the patients in both groups were treated with a 15-session standard PT program consisting of hot pack, ultrasound, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation.
