Manual Therapy Effectivity and Exercises in Musicians
Orofacial pain is one of the most common dysfunctions among wind musicians, a population with a high incidence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Regarding the treatment of TMD, the efficacy of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise has been studied, but there is a lack of high quality research supporting its implementation. …
End-on Versus Parallel Radiofrequency Lesioning for Neurotomy of the Cervical Medial Branch Nerves
Aim of the EndPaRL study is to compare the efficacy and effectiveness of the two techniques utilizing sharp straight conventional radiofrequency needle with a trident needle for radiofrequency neurotomy of Cervical Medial Branch Nerves (CMBNs), in patients presenting with chronic, moderate-to-severe, neck pain due to cervical zygapophyseal joint osteoarthritis, as …
Development of Variable Volume Automated Mandatory Boluses for Patient-controlled Epidural Analgesia During Labour
A novel epidural delivery regimen was developed: Variable volume automated mandatory bolus (AMB) (VVAMB) will advance individualisation of labour epidural analgesia, by which a larger volume of bolus may contribute to better spread of the local anaesthetics within brief period and thereby reduces the chances of motor blockade that could …

Trident Multi-tined Cannula for Cervical MBRFA Compared to the Conventional Cannula
Cervical medial branch radiofrequency ablation (CMBRFA) is an effective treatment for cervical facet pain. The efficacy of CMBRFA was proven by studies published in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Patients were selected by a strict, labor-intensive placebo-controlled, diagnostic block protocol and were treated using a conventional monopolar cannula that …
Cervical/Thoracic Neuromodulation and Nociceptive Processing
Several studies have demonstrated that direct currents delivered through the skin at the level of the low-thoracic spinal cord can influence spinal cord function. In human volunteers, anodal low-thoracic transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) alters spinal processing of nociceptive inputs. Whether cervical tsDCS is able to do the same …
Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS)
This study aims to assess the efficacy of Personalized Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (PrTMS) therapy to reduce chronic neck for military health system beneficiaries.
