Ureteral stents are composed of different polymers and it is unclear if stent composition influences patient comfort. We compared the impact firm soft polymer on health related quality life.A total 130 patients requiring insertion ureteral during treatment urinary calculi were randomized to receive a (Percuflex, group 1) or (Contour, 2) polymer. Patients asked complete Ureteric Stent Symptoms Questionnaire, validated instrument, at weeks 1 4 with in situ after its removal, this served as...

Abstract Background Lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) is a common, debilitating and often treatment-resistant condition. Two treatments thought to address the pathology of lateral are hypertonic glucose plus lignocaine injections (prolotherapy) physiotherapist guided manual therapy/exercise program (physiotherapy). This trial aimed compare short- long-term clinical effectiveness, cost safety prolotherapy used singly in combination with physiotherapy. Methods Using single-blinded...

Despite suggestions that tourniquet inflation during total knee replacement reduces bleeding and hence improves cement penetration, no studies exist supporting this widely held belief. In single-blinded, single-surgeon, randomized controlled trial, the cementation group ( n = 20) did not have greater tibial penetration compared to a 20). No statistically significant differences in semiautomatic digitally measured average central radiographic plateau values were observed between two groups p...

Objective To investigate the relationship between tendon structural changes determined by static ultrasound images (US) and sensory using quantitative testing (QST), clinical measures in lateral epicondylalgia. Materials methods Both elbows of 66 adult participants with a diagnosis epicondylalgia were investigated. Using standardised image rating scale, common extensor hypoechogenicity, heterogenicity, neovascularity, bony abnormalities at enthesis scored, thickness (longitudinal transverse...

It is largely unknown how the CNS regulates multiple muscle systems in presence of pain. This study used synergy analysis to investigate forearm muscles individuals with chronic elbow pain during development grip force. Eleven and 11 healthy age-matched control subjects developed force 15% 30% maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Surface electromyography was obtained from six before nonnegative matrix factorization performed. The relationship between synergies standard clinical tests were...

Osteitis pubis among soccer athletes is a disabling painful condition and it difficult to manage without integrating multimodal treatment approach. There limited scientific evidence on the effectiveness of exercise in treating

Individuals with lateral epicondylalgia (LE) have delayed upper limb reaction time (RT); however, it is unknown if the mechanisms of this dysfunction are related to neural processing or affected forearm muscles. The aim study was examine timing processes that occur before and after muscles activated during RT task.Eleven LE (42 ± 11 yr) healthy controls performed rapid wrist extension in response an audio cue. Intramuscular EMG obtained from extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), digitorum...

Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) precipitate the shoulder pain severity and disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis (SAC). This study aims to compare effectiveness of intramuscular electrical stimulation (IMES) combined therapeutic exercises versus dry needling (DN) improving clinical outcomes SAC.In this randomized controlled trial, IMES (n = 45) DN (43) groups had received respectively IMES, twice weekly for three consecutive weeks. Both 1520 minutes, five days a week during...

Anterior knee pain, with or without joint crepitus during squatting, is the common clinical feature in individuals patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Altered lower extremity alignment and lumbo-pelvic-thigh muscles motor control often associated PFPS. Although current interventions recommend individual muscle activation strength training exercises, reported benefits of cocontraction-based exercises PFPS limited. This might be due to long-standing hypothesis that exercise-induced...
