Short- and long-term outcomes of electrolysis percutaneous intratissue (epi) in chronic lateral elbow epicondylitis
Discussion The combined programme of EPI, more eccentric exercise and stretching is an effective treatment for chronic elbow lateral epicondylitis. Limitations of the study. The main limitation is the absence of a control group to compare the results obtained with a placebo or another intervention. In scientific literature, there are no similar studies as the technique has been recently developed. The next step is to launch a pilot study to validate the results.

Use of platelet rich plasma for the treatment of bicipital tendinopathy in spinal cord injury: a pilot study
Discussion The initial pilot data from this study demonstrates a significant effect of PRP using relevant and standardised measures compared to the opposite extremity as a control. While the study sample is admittedly small, a non-parametric analysis demonstrates convincing data on the overall positive effect of PRP in the treatment of biceps tendinopathy in the spinal cord injury population. Given the study results, further investigation is warranted including a randomised control trial.

Platelet rich plasma for chronic tendinopathy
Conclusion Biologic therapies such as AB and PRP injection were moderately effective for treatment of recalcitrant tendinopathy, and PRP appears to be more effective than AB. Further studies comparing these treatments to each other, to other treatment options, and to placebo should be undertaken to better define their clinical utility and indications in the treatment of chronic tendinopathy.

Acupuncture applied as a sensory discrimination training tool decreases movement-related pain in patients with chronic low back pain more than acupuncture alone: a randomised cross-over experiment
Conclusions Our findings are consistent with the idea that acupuncture may offer specific benefit that is not dependent on precisely where the needles are inserted so much as that the patient attends to where they are inserted. If so, the location of the needles might be better focused on the painful area and the need for penetration of the skin may be mitigated.

The 'Best Practice Guide to Conservative Management of Patellofemoral Pain': incorporating level 1 evidence with expert clinical reasoning
Conclusions and relevance Effective management of PFP requires consideration of a number of proven conservative interventions. An individually tailored multimodal intervention programme including gluteal and quadriceps strengthening, patellar taping and an emphasis on education and activity modification should be prescribed for patients with PFP. We provide a ‘Best Practice Guide to Conservative Management of Patellofemoral Pain’ outlining key considerations.

Managing Knee Osteoarthritis: The Effects of Body Weight Supported Physical Activity on Joint Pain, Function, and Thigh Muscle Strength
Conclusions: Data suggest that an LBPP-supported low-load exercise regimen can be used to significantly diminish knee pain, enhance joint function, and increase thigh muscle strength, while safely promoting pain-free walking exercise in overweight patients with knee OA. These findings have important implications for the development of nonoperative treatment strategies that can be used in the management of joint symptoms associated with progressive knee OA in at-risk patient populations. Clinical Relevance: This research suggests that LBPP-supported low-load walking is a safe user-friendly mode of exercise that can be succe...

Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial: Injection of Autologous Blood in the Treatment of Chronic Patella Tendinopathy—A Pilot Study
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that both the ABI and saline groups experienced a significant improvement in symptoms. However, when the results were compared, there was no statistical difference between the 2 groups. Clinical Relevance: This research showed that tendon fenestration is an alternative cost-effective treatment for recalcitrant PT.

Treatment and prevention of acute and recurrent ankle sprain: an overview of systematic reviews with meta-analysis
Conclusions For the treatment of acute ankle sprain, there is strong evidence for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation, with moderate evidence supporting exercise and manual therapy techniques, for pain, swelling and function. Exercise therapy and bracing are supported in the prevention of CAI.

A novel pelvic pain map highlighting the pudendal nerve
Introduction: Sports Medicine health professionals regularly have patients presenting with symptoms of pudendal neuralgia (PN). PN is a recognised cause of chronic pelvic pain in the regions served by the pudendal nerve, typically presenting as pain in the penis, scrotum, labia, perineum or anorectal region. Other symptoms may include dysuria (pain during voiding), urge incontinence and pain during or after ejaculation. There may be corresponding sexual and erectile dysfunction problems including impotence, impacting on relationships.

The Effect of Exercise Programs on Pain Management and Motor Control in Patients with Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Matched Subjects Trial
Conclusions: The findings suggest that different types of exercise rehabilitation were not significantly different on pain reduction, functional disability, and movement control impairment. It is suggested that the participant ’s preference for an approach should also be considered for encouraging them to adhere to exercise.
