This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of picosecond laser therapy combined with the Shumin Star in treating melasma and to explore the role of skin barrier function indicators in the assessment of this treatment process. Ninety patients with melasma were randomly divided into a study group and a control group. The study group…
CONCLUSIONS: Manual myofascial release and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation were equally effective in the treatment of chronic mechanical low back pain.
CONCLUSION: ANB significantly reduced migraine frequency and disability, making it a promising non-invasive and accessible treatment option for migraine management. Further research with longer follow-up periods is needed to explore its long-term effects and broader applicability.
INTRODUCTION: Cardiac rehabilitation is known to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life in people living with heart disease, however, adherence, access and completion of these programmes is suboptimal. Peer support may offer an opportunity to close this service gap. The aim of the study is to determine whether the effectiveness of a digital peer…
CONCLUSIONS: The use of a sustained-release desensitizing gel containing 3% potassium nitrate and 0.11% fluoride ion for 30 minutes prior to the bleaching agent effectively reduced sensitivity during at-home bleaching procedures. Furthermore, the desensitizing gel did not impact the effectiveness of the at-home bleaching treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the outcome of this evidence-based study, it is recommended that exercise programs combining Kegel and abdominal exercises be established for postmenopausal women with SUI within the scope of conservative treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: A cRCT investigating a symptom-based diagnostic approach for chronic breathlessness is feasible in primary care showing potential for timely investigations and diagnoses, with PROMs potentially indicating patient-level benefit. A further refined fully powered cRCT with health economic analysis is needed.
CONCLUSIONS: This study adds important knowledge to the evaluation of the ReScreen model and contributes to existing research on how individualized rehabilitation after breast cancer can be applied in clinical practice. A proactive, person-centered approach in rehabilitation, aimed at those with extended needs, would potentially optimize rehabilitation and facilitate the recovery process after breast cancer…
CONCLUSION: This trial will evaluate the efficacy of a harmonica-integrated, home-based PR program with tele-supervision for COPD patients on lung function, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, and overall health. If effective, it could offer a novel, affordable, and accessible home-based PR approach for COPD management.
CONCLUSIONS: Probiotic supplementation may serve as an alternative supporting treatment, especially in the phenotype of women with a high FAI index. Probiotic therapy is also effective in reducing BMI in overweight women with PCOS.
