The effects of soft-tissue techniques and exercise in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy—systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2024)
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is a degenerative clinical disorder that causes load-related pain in the lower pole of the patella or patellar tendon. It predominantly affects young male athletes ...
Cervical manipulation versus thoracic or cervicothoracic manipulations for the management of neck pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2024)

Combination of two manipulative techniques for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Cervicogenic dizziness is clinically associated with upper cervical spine dysfunctions. It seems that manual therapy decreases the intensity of dizziness in these subjects, but what happens to pain ...
Correlation between neck muscle endurance tests, ultrasonography, and self-reported outcomes in women with low cervical disability and neck pain
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: Neck pain (NP) is a frequent condition in women, characterized by exhibiting distinct clinical manifestations such as the presence of deep neck (DN) muscle weakness. Endurance and ultrasonography ...

The addition of diacutaneous fibrolysis to a pharmacological intervention in patients with tension-type headache: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common headache worldwide. Pharmacological interventions are the most investigated therapies in patients with TTH. The addition of physical therapy ...
Clinical and psychological variables in female patients with cervical syndromes: a cross-sectional and correlational study
(MDPI, 2022)
