Physical therapy with its advantages may be an alternative method in the treatment, which was not reported previously.Case description: Phonophoresis therapy is applied in nine patients with dysphagia due to cervical osteophytes.Results: The symptom of dysphagia regressed in various degrees in all patients after phonophoresis therapy.Conclusions: Phonophoresis might be an alternative method for the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment in patients with dysphagia due to cervical osteophytes.Keywords: cervical, osteophyte, dysphagia, physical therap
Comparison of the Efficacy of Low-Level Laser Therapy and Pulsed Ultrasound Treatment in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Placebo-Controlled Study
No full textObjective: To evaluate the effect of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) and pulsed ultrasound (US) treatment in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and to compare the effects of both treatment modalities. Materials and Methods: 60 patients diagnosed with CTS were randomly divided into four groups as US group (group 1), placebo US group (group 2), LLLT group (group 3) and plasebo LLLT group (group 4). Both treatments were applied five days a week for three weeks. Clinical and electrophysiological assessments were performed before and 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Pain, hypoesthesia and handgrip strength were evaluated. The Boston Questionnaire was used to assess the severity of symptoms and functional status. Results: 52 patients with 101 hands completed the study. Demographic and electrophysiological parameters were similar in the four groups. Both pulsed US treatment and LLLT were found to provide significant improvements in clinical parameters such as pain, sensory loss, symptom severity score and functional capacity score (p<0.05). No significant beneficial effect was observed in both placebo groups (p<0.05). Evaluations of the electrophysiological parameters showed no significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). In terms of clinical efficacy, pulsed US was found to be superior to LLLT (p<0.05). Conclusion: The two treatment modalities showed significant improvements in subjective clinical symptoms while no significant changes were observed in any electrophysiological parameters

No full textInternational Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics 2018, ICNAAM 2018 -- 13 September 2018 through 18 September 2018 -- -- 149843In this work, optical solitons are obtained for the Biswas - Milovic equation as a generalized model via the extended generalizing Riccati mapping method. This method reveals several optical solitons including traveling wave solutions. The found solutions are identified with two different forms including the hyperbolic functions, the rational functions and the trigonometric functions. Reliability of our solution is given graphical consequens. © 2019 Author(s)
