Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy for supraspinatus calcifying tendinitis: a randomized clinical trial comparing two different energy levels.
Extracorporeal shock-wave therapy (ESWT) represents a valid intervention in the treatment of people with supraspinatus calcifying tendinitis (SCT), but there is limited evidence for the useful range of ESWT doses. ⋯ In ESWT for SCT, an energy level of 0.20 mJ/mm² appears to be more effective than an energy level of 0.10 mJ/mm² in pain relief and functional improvement.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Exercise for people in early- or mid-stage Parkinson disease: a 16-month randomized controlled trial.
Exercise confers short-term benefits for individuals with Parkinson disease (PD). ⋯ Findings demonstrated overall functional benefits at 4 months in the FBF group and improved walking economy (up to 16 months) in the AE group.
