This completed trial tested whether brief, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity sessions combined with health education could increase exercise in stroke survivors. 36 adults aged 50 and older who had a stroke and lived at home took part. Participants wore an accelerometer to t…

This study tested whether a program of aerobic, strength, and balance exercises, combined with a gentle vibrating device placed on the legs, could help older adults in care homes who have muscle loss (sarcopenia) and frailty. Forty adults over age 75 took part. The goal was to se…

This study tested whether adding a specific nerve-stretching technique to standard massage and trigger-point therapy can better relieve chronic tennis elbow. Forty-six adults with at least three months of elbow pain received either standard care alone or standard care plus radial…

This study looked at whether adding aerobic or strength exercises to standard physical therapy can better reduce pain and sensitivity in people with chronic jaw disorders. 51 adults with jaw pain and nociplastic pain (widespread sensitivity) participated. The goal was to see if t…

This study tested whether watching nature scenes through a virtual reality headset could improve mood, reduce anxiety, and sharpen thinking in older adults. Thirty people aged 60 to 90 took part in five weeks of guided VR sessions. Researchers measured changes in positive and neg…

This study tested whether a special 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (plant-based soups, bars, and drinks) could reduce inflammation after deep cleaning for advanced gum disease. Twenty-eight adults with stage III-IV periodontitis were randomly assigned to either follow the diet or e…

This small study tested whether adding functional massage to eccentric exercises (like slow squatting) helps reduce muscle stiffness and improve leg movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Eight adults participated, and the treatment was done at a university cl…
