Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of Mulligan mobilization on pain and life quality of patients with Rotator cuff syndrome: A randomized controlled trial.
Mulligan mobilization techniques cause pain and affect the function in patients with Rotator cuff syndrome. ⋯ Mulligan mobilization was more effective than general treatment methods for pain as well as normal joint motion, DASH scoring and some parameters of SF-36 compared with general treatment methods.

Randomized Controlled TrialThe effects of shock wave and dry needling on active trigger points of upper trapezius muscle in patients with non-specific neck pain: A randomized clinical trial.
Chronic neck pain is associated with various myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). ⋯ Both ESWT and DN can be employed to treat MTrPs of the upper trapezius muscle in patients with NSNP.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of core stability exercises on postpartum lumbopelvic pain: A randomized controlled trial.
Core stability exercises have been widely advocated for management of patients with different musculoskeletal conditions, even though its effect on postpartum Lumbopelvic Pain (LPP) has not been fully investigated. ⋯ Core stability exercises in addition to traditional treatment significantly decreased pain and improved function for women with postpartum LPP.

Randomized Controlled TrialUltrasound combined transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (UltraTENS) versus phonophoresis of piroxicam (PhP) in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: A randomized double-blind, controlled trial.
Ultrasound combined with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (UltraTENS) and phonophoresis of piroxicam (PhP) are combined modality therapy that frequently used in musculoskeletal pain including knee osteoarthritis (OA). But it is lack of a good clinical trial to prove and compare their effects. ⋯ Results show that UltraTENS and PhP were effective for relieving pain and improve functionality knee OA without significant differences between their effects.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of assisted sit-up exercise compared to core stabilization exercise on patients with non-specific low back pain: A randomized controlled trial.
Traditional sit-up exercise is a simple method to strengthen core muscles. However, it can increase the potential of lumbar spine injury during the bending process. ⋯ Assisted SUE using new training device can be an effective therapeutic exercise to strengthen dynamic abdominal muscles and improve core muscle activation pattern in NSLBP patients.
