CONCLUSION: Electrical stimulation therapy over the cervical region combined with a MT protocol over the neck and temporomandibular joint shows better clinical benefits than MT by itself in subjects with myofascial temporomandibular pain. Registration code: NCT04098952.
CONCLUSIONS: Local infiltration of Ketorolac as an adjunct in postoperative pain management has been shown to provide superior analgesia during finger movement within the initial 6 h following trigger finger surgery, in comparison to oral NSAIDs.
CONCLUSIONS: 2LPEG + 2L is a feasible bowel preparation regimen.
CONCLUSIONS: A CCTA-directed ICA strategy for patients with CABG is associated with expedition of the invasive procedure, and less fluoroscopy time, at the cost of higher total contrast volume and effective radiation dose, compared with the classic ICA approach.
CONCLUSIONS: This proof-of-concept randomised controlled trial supports the feasibility and acceptability of the user co-facilitated psychoeducational programme for patients newly diagnosed with ADHD in an outpatient setting. While preliminary findings indicate promise in enhancing patient-reported outcomes, a larger study is warranted to assess the intervention’s effectiveness rigorously.
CONCLUSIONS: In the cohort of patients with moderate to severe IUA, the intrauterine estrogen-releasing system was more effective at reducing adhesion than traditional oral estrogen combined with an intrauterine Foley catheter after TCRA. This novel intrauterine system provides a new option for the management of IUA after surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to the control group, levidex facilitated clinically relevant improvements in MS-related QoL, reduced sick days, and enhanced activity in PwMS over 6 months. These findings suggest that levidex can serve as an effective non-pharmacological adjunctive treatment element to standard care and could help improve QoL among PwMS.
This study aimed to investigate effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on blood pressure (BP) and autonomic nervous system, indicated by 5-min heart rate variability (HRV) measurement in obese subjects, and determine correlations of BP with metabolic factors. In a double-blind, randomized controlled trial, obese subjects (n = 30) were randomly allocated to receive 150 mg…
Cutaneous mycobacterial infections cause substantial morbidity and are challenging to diagnose and treat. An improved understanding of the dermal immune response to mycobacteria may inspire new therapeutic approaches. We conducted a controlled human infection study with 10 participants who received 2 × 106 CFUs of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (Tice strain) intradermally and were randomized…
Early indicators of healing provide valuable information on the potential benefit of treatment. In patients with hard-to-heal (chronic) diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), timely intervention is critical. Ulcers that fail to show measurable progress within four weeks of treatment are considered recalcitrant. These ulcers increase the risk of soft tissue infection, osteomyelitis and lower extremity amputation.…
