Randomized Controlled TrialDemonstration of kinesio taping effect by ultrasonography in neck pain.
This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of kinesio taping in nonspecific neck pain and to assess whether ultrasonographic parameters of the upper trapezius muscle can be used in the follow-up of kinesio taping treatment. ⋯ The combination of kinesio taping and exercise therapy was effective in reducing nonspecific neck pain and neck disability. Also, this study showed that ultrasonographic evaluation of the trapezius muscle could be used in the follow-up of kinesio taping therapy.

Randomized Controlled TrialSuperiority of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery to microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery for treatment of Cushing's disease.
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery in the treatment of Cushing's disease (CD). ⋯ For the treatment of CD, the efficacy of endoscopic transsphenoidal pituitary surgery is basically the same as that of traditional microscopic transseptal pituitary surgery. However, the endoscopic surgery can further shorten the operative time, reduce the estimated blood loss, shorten the hospital stay, and reduce the complications.
