Randomized Controlled Trial
Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation for Strengthening of the Suprahyoid Muscles: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Head lift exercise is a widely known form of training in the rehabilitation of patients with dysphagia. This study aimed to compare muscular strength reinforcement training of the suprahyoid muscles using repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) with head lift exercises in a randomized controlled trial. ⋯ Two-week rPMS of the suprahyoid muscles increased the strength of these muscles compared with the head lift exercise during the same period.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
A Head-to-Head Comparison of Percutaneous Mastoid Electrical Stimulator and Supraorbital Transcutaneous Stimulator in the Prevention of Migraine: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study.
This prospective, randomized, multicenter head-to-head outcome study was performed to compare the efficacy and safety of Percutaneous Mastoid Electrical Stimulator (PMES) and Supraorbital Transcutaneous Stimulator (STS) in migraine prevention. ⋯ PMES and STS treatment were both effective in migraine prevention. The safety and efficacy of PMES and STS were comparable.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects and Mechanisms of Transcutaneous Electrical Acustimulation on Postoperative Recovery After Elective Cesarean Section.
To explore the effects and mechanisms of transcutaneous electrical acustimulation (TEA) on postoperative recovery after cesarean section (CS). ⋯ Needleless non-invasive TEA at ST36 is effective in promoting both lower and upper GI symptoms after CS by enhancing vagal and suppressing sympathetic activities [Correction added on 23 June 2020, after first online publication: The first word of the preceded sentence has been corrected.].
