This study tested a Tidal Model-based nursing approach for 18 caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury. The approach focuses on each caregiver's personal experiences to help reduce anxiety, depression, and burnout. Results showed improvements in these areas, suggesting th…

This study tested whether using ultrasound together with X-ray for sacroiliac joint injections reduces procedure time and radiation exposure compared to using X-ray alone. 38 adults with chronic low back or buttock pain participated. The goal was to see if the combined approach i…

This study tested two types of injections for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Thirty adults received either a sugar-water (5% dextrose) or a steroid (betamethasone) shot, guided by ultrasound. The goal was to see which one better reduced pain and symptoms lik…

This study tested whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from painful bone spurs in people who have had a leg amputated due to trauma. Twenty-nine male amputees received either real ESWT or a sham treatment, plus exercise. Researchers measured pain, funct…

This study tested if manual therapy (hands-on treatment) to the neck can reduce tinnitus (ringing in the ears) in people whose tinnitus is linked to neck problems. 31 adults with neck pain and tinnitus took part. Researchers measured changes in tinnitus severity and neck pain aft…

This study tested two treatments for painful nerve endings (neuromas) that can form after a leg amputation. 26 adults received either a steroid injection or a heat-based treatment (radiofrequency ablation) guided by ultrasound. The goal was to see which method better reduces pain…

This study tested two rehabilitation methods—mirror therapy and a bike that uses mild electrical pulses—to help people who recently had a stroke regain leg movement and balance. 45 first-time stroke survivors took part within 6 months of their stroke. The goal was to see which th…

This study tested two types of radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment) to see which works better for people with advanced knee osteoarthritis whose pain didn't improve with other treatments. 26 patients aged 50-80 took part. The goal was to reduce pain and improve daily …

This study tested two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (iTBS and rTMS) combined with robotic walking therapy in 30 people with chronic spinal cord injury. The goal was to see if these treatments could improve leg strength, walking ability, and daily independence. All parti…

This study tested whether adding a special bike that uses mild electrical pulses (FES) to standard robot-assisted therapy could improve walking and leg strength in people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. 38 adults who could already walk a short distance with or without…

This small pilot study looked at whether adding a special type of electrical stimulation to standard wound care helps heal chronic pressure injuries (bedsores) in people with spinal cord or brain injuries. Twenty adults who had bedsores that didn't improve after four weeks of sta…

This study looked at 70 family caregivers of stroke patients who also have bladder control problems. Researchers measured how much this caregiving affects their burden, tiredness, sleep quality, and mood. The goal was to understand the extra challenges these caregivers face, not …

This study looked at how spinal cord injury affects women's experiences with fertility, birth control, and pregnancy. Researchers surveyed 70 women aged 18-55 who had been injured for more than a year. The goal was to understand their needs and challenges, not to test a treatment…

This study measured how far 341 Turkish stroke survivors could walk in 6 minutes to create reference values for walking endurance. Participants were at least 6 months past their first stroke and could walk with or without light support. The goal was to understand what factors inf…

This study measured bone density in the hips of 44 stroke patients to see how the condition affects bone strength on the paralyzed and non-paralyzed sides. Researchers also checked muscle strength and other health factors. The goal was to better understand bone loss after a strok…
