Synopsis:
Thirteen studies comparing different treatment methods for lateral elbow tendinopathy (LET) against placebo were included in this systematic review and network meta-analysis.Outcomes of interest included Patient-Related Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) pain scores in the short- and mid-term. In the short-term...

Synopsis:
17 studies including a total of 1,190 patients were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness of manipulation therapy for chronic neck pain.Outcomes of interest included pain intensity and neck disability (assessed with the Neck Disability Index [NDI]).The results of the meta-analysis found that manipulative therapy, with or without exercise, resulted in significantly lower pain intensity and disability than controls.There was no significant difference in the risk of adverse events between the two groups. The results of...

Cognitive Functional Therapy vs Movement System Impairment-Based Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain
①
Synopsis:
91 patients with chronic low back pain were randomized to receive an 8-week cognitive functional therapy (CFT) program (n=45) or movement system impairment (MSI)-based treatment program (n=46).The primary outcome of interest was pain intensity, measured on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).The secondary outcomes of interest included disability, kinesiophobia, and gait kinetics measured via vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) parameters.Outcomes were assessed at 8 weeks and 6 months follow-up. The CFT group...

Synopsis:
26 patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome were randomized to receive a 4-week program of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) plus blood flow restriction (BFR) training (n=13) or IASTM alone (n=13).The outcomes of interest included knee pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Lysholm knee scores, Modified Thomas test (MTT), and knee extensor strength, assessed after 1 treatment and upon completion of treatment.The combination group reported significantly greater pain scores after 1 treatment and after completion of treatment compared to the IASTM only group.However, Lysholm scores were higher in the control group after treatment. No differences in...

SICOT 2023: Efficacy of Exercise therapy With Vitamin D Vs E Supplementation for Knee Osteoarthritis
Synopsis:
86 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive exercise therapy with either Vitamin D (Ex+VD) or Vitamin E (Ex+VE) supplementation, or exercise therapy alone.Outcomes of interest included the Japanese Knee Osteoarthritis Measure (JKOM), Quadriceps Muscle Strength (QMS), 10-meter walk test (10MWT), Hand Grasping Power (HGP), Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Physical and Mental components, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-B), Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density (LS-BMD), and body fat percentage and android fat distribution.The results showed that JKOM, QMS, and 10MWT improved in both groups after 6 months.HGP and SF-26 improved in the Ex+VD group, which also showed improvements in LS-BMD and android fat distribution. Hs-CRP levels improved...

Synopsis:
40 patients with chronic, non-specific low back pain were randomized to receive an 8-week Back School-based Program (BSP; n=20) or no treatment (n=20).The outcomes of interest included pain intensity (measured with a Visual Analog Scale [VAS]), disability (Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire [RMDQ]), health-related quality of life (Short Form 36 [SF-36]), and kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia [TSK-11]), all measured pre-treatment and post-treatment.The results demonstrated significant clinical improvement in pain, disability, functional aspects of quality of life, and kinesiophobia after 8 weeks of BSP intervention compared to the control group. The results suggest...

Synopsis:
10 randomized controlled trials (555 patients) that compared the effect of exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and older men against a control were included in this meta-analysis.Outcomes of interest included changes in lumbar spine BMD, femoral neck BMD, total hip BMD, and trochanter BMD. All outcomes favored...

Synopsis:
30 patients with mid-shaft clavicle fractures were randomized to receive either non-operative treatment (n=15) or operative treatment via open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF; n=15).Outcomes of interest included union rates, return to work, Constant-Murley scores, pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (QuickDASH).The ORIF group showed significantly better union rates and return to work. The results were...

Synopsis:
Twenty-seven randomized controlled trials that compared the safety and efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), and hyaluronic acid (HA) were included in this meta-analysis.Outcomes of interest included the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), and Lequesne Index Score (LEQ).WOMAC, IKDC, and VAS scores favored PRP against HA.Similarly, in the network meta-analyses comparing BMAC and HA, WOMAC, IKDC, and VAS scores favored BMAC. No differences were...

Synopsis:
30 patients with lateral epicondylitis unresponsive to conservative treatment were randomized to receive an injection of corticosteroid (n=15) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP; n=15).The primary outcomes of interest were pain measured on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score.Outcomes were measured 1 month after injection.The PRP group demonstrated significantly better improvement in both VAS pain scores and DASH scores compared to the corticosteroid group. Future studies with...
