Persistent Hiccups After an Epidural Steroid Injection Successfully Treated With Baclofen: A Case Report.
Persistent hiccups are an established adverse reaction to epidural steroid injections. Although oral baclofen has been used to treat hiccups in various clinical settings, none of the previously reported studies that used baclofen were related to hiccups occurring after spinal injections/procedures. We report a case of a man who developed persistent hiccups after a transforaminal epidural steroid injection that was treated successfully with oral baclofen.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Low-Load Exercise on Postneedling-Induced Pain After Dry Needling of Active Trigger Point in Individuals With Subacromial Pain Syndrome.
The application of dry needling usually is associated with postneedling-induced pain. A postneedling intervention to reduce this adverse event is needed. ⋯ I.

Randomized Controlled Trial
No Difference Between Noxious and Innocuous Thermal Stimulation on Motor Recovery of Upper Extremity in Patients With Acute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial With 6-Month Follow-up.
Thermal stimulation (TS) has been developed and incorporated into stroke rehabilitation. However, whether noxious and innocuous TS induce the same effects on motor function recovery after stroke is still unknown. A comparative study of different temperature combination regimens is needed. ⋯ II.
