This study compares two physical therapy approaches—Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and the Bobath method—in 58 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal is to see which therapy better improves motor skills, balance, and trunk control over 12 weeks. Children will be asse…

This study tests whether a combination of special stretches and movement retraining can reduce shoulder pain and improve motion in fast bowlers with a condition called GIRD (limited internal rotation). 42 male cricketers aged 18-45 will be split into two groups: one gets the new …

This study tests whether applying vibration to a specific muscle or the whole arm can reduce spasticity (stiffness) and improve arm control in people who had a stroke 3 to 6 months ago. Fifty-four participants will receive either focal muscle vibration or whole upper limb vibrati…

This trial tests whether intermittent or continuous blood flow restriction (BFR) training works better for easing pain, improving strength, and boosting function in women aged 40–49 with grade II knee osteoarthritis. Participants will perform low-load exercises while a cuff aroun…

This trial compares two rehabilitation approaches for people with Parkinson's disease: whole-body vibration therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns combined with rhythmic-based training. The goal is to see which method better improves balance, walking…

This study looks at whether a special version of clamshell exercises can help people with moderate hip osteoarthritis feel less pain and move better. Researchers will compare three exercise programs in 54 adults aged 45 to 60. The goal is to find the best way to improve hip funct…

This study tests whether a back school exercise program or cranio-cervical muscle training works better for reducing pain, improving posture, and lowering disability in computer users with cervicogenic headache. Forty-four participants will attend two sessions per week for eight …

This study tested two treatments for neck pain caused by forward head posture and trigger points: dry needling (thin needles inserted into tight muscle knots) and phonophoresis (ultrasound with anti-inflammatory gel). Forty adults with chronic neck pain and trigger points were sp…

This study tested whether a treatment that addresses physical, psychological, and social factors works better than standard physical therapy for chronic low back pain. Eighty adults with pain lasting over 12 weeks took part. The experimental group received added therapies like co…

This study looked at whether adding heat therapy or contrast therapy (alternating hot and cold) to a specific exercise program helps people with patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common cause of front knee pain. Forty adults aged 18 to 40 with at least three months of knee pain too…

This study compared two non-drug treatments—Cognitive Functional Therapy and Kinetic Control Training—in 70 adults aged 19 to 39 with chronic low back pain. Participants attended sessions three times a week for eight weeks. Researchers measured pain, disability, and movement cont…

This study tested whether retraining deep neck muscles using a pressure biofeedback device could reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck pain and jaw issues. 70 adults with neck pain lasting 3 to 18 months and mild-to-moderate jaw dysfunction took part. One g…

This study tested a movement retraining program called kinetic control training in 46 adults with chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants either received this training plus routine physical therapy or routine therapy alone. Researchers measured changes in pain, balance…

This study tested two treatments for upper cross syndrome, a common muscle imbalance from poor posture. Sixty adults with neck, shoulder, or upper back pain and fatigue took part. One group used Janda's approach (stretching tight muscles and strengthening weak ones), while the ot…
