Acceptability of home-based HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer screening among users and providers in the West region of Cameroon: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: Home-based HPV self-sampling was highly accepted across all study groups and was unaffected by sociodemographic factors. Previous screening practices were associated with age, income, and knowledge. Home-based HPV self-sampling screening can address access disparities to CC screening. Community involvement in planning and implementing these programs is essential to ensure their success. →

Comparison of the efficacy of radial and focused extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) in myofascial pain syndrome: a randomized, sham-controlled study
Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is one of the most common pain syndromes characterized by painful trigger points. Active trigger points may cause spontaneous pain, reduce quality of life, and result in workforce loss. Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT), using radial or focused acoustic waves created outside the body, is a treatment method used for musculoskeletal problems.… →

Effects of Training Modalities and Additional Pain Education on Exercise-Induced Hypoalgesia in People With Osteoarthritis of the Knee: A Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial
CONCLUSION: Progression to a larger study is warranted. RTL, but also AET and RTU may induce EIH in people with knee OA. Pain education might have a useful supporting function, but its effect would need to be determined in a study design using a control group that receives training and no education. →
