Objectives: In a single blinded randomized controlled study, we investigated the effect of stabilization exercise on lumbar multifidus muscle thickness in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Low Back Pain is highly prevalent and results in considerable level of disability. Many causes have been associated with weakness or injury of the soft tissues in the lumbar area. Methods: ...

Background: N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been indicated against experimental seizures, but with relatively inconclusive results. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether NAC exerts a dose-dependent anticonvulsant effect and to determine NAC safe therapeutic dose range and its muscle-relaxant activity in both acute and chronic uses.Methods: Following intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of N...

introduction: repetitive strain injuries are one of the most prevalent problems in occupational diseases. repetition, vibration and bad postures of the extremities are physical risk factors related to work that can cause chronic musculoskeletal disorders. repetitive work on a computer with low level contraction requires the posture to be maintained for a long time, which can cause muscle fatigu...

conclusions the trunk stabilization exercises are more effective than conventional back care exercises in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic lbp. results the results of the study demonstrated significant improvements in abdominal muscle endurance and reduction in vas and modq score of both groups (p = 0.001). the trunk stabilization exercise group showed greater gains in abdominal musc...
