“…Physical-based therapy has been widely used by patients suffering with headache, particularly tension-type, as the techniques geared toward release of muscle tension target a proposed trigger of this headache type. 41 – 43 This has been demonstrated by studies implementing therapeutic exercise for tension-type headaches, showing superior reduction in pain than no treatment or placebo 41 as well as a pilot trial implementing contract-relax technique and static stretching in migraineur women, showing improvement in headache and migraine-related disability following both interventions. 42 Nevertheless, there is a paucity of evidence-based data to support its efficacy in pediatric headache management.…”

Participants were enrolled into a pilot randomized-controlled 4-week trial comparing the efficacy and feasibility of app-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to a stretching program. Headache-related disability and quality of life were assessed using the Pediatric Migraine Disability Scale (PedMIDAS), Kidscree27, and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Multivariable regression analysis were performed to assess the group effects in the presence of adherence and other covariates. Twenty participants completed the study. Adherence was significantly higher in the stretching than in the CBT app group (100% vs 54%, P < .034). When controlling for adherence and baseline scores, the stretching group showed greater reduction in PedMIDAS score (average: 29.2, P < .05) as compared to the CBT app group. However, in terms of the Quality-of-Life Indicators, pre- and postintervention raw scores were not significantly different between groups ( P > .05). App-based CBT was not superior to a stretching program in reducing headache-related disability in a select population of pediatric headache patients. Future studies should assess if implementing features to the CBT app, like tailoring to pediatric age groups, would improve outcomes.

“…In line with our results, Voigt et al [ 23 ] reported an improvement in disability after applying a combined manual therapy intervention (5 sessions over a 10-week period), yet they did not describe the full protocol (thus preventing replication) nor did they study the effects of the techniques separately. Furthermore, some studies have shown that soft tissue techniques alone achieve smaller improvements in disability that in some cases failed to reach the MCID, with a range from approximately 4 to 5.67 points [ 15 , 56 , 57 ]. On the other hand, Tuchin et al [ 58 ] observed an improvement in disability after applying a protocol with articulatory techniques alone in people with migraine, but the improvement (i.e., 6.8 points) was reported in a disability diary, and not with a validated questionnaire.…”

Objective: To ascertain whether the combination of soft tissue and articulatory manual techniques is more effective than either one of these techniques alone for reducing migraine impact; Methods: Seventy-five participants with migraine were randomly divided into three groups (n = 25 per group): (i) soft tissue (STG), (ii) articulatory (AG), and (iii) combined treatment (STAG). Pain, frequency of occurrence, duration, disability and impact, depression and anxiety levels, and perception of change were analysed at baseline, post intervention (T2) and at four-week follow-up (T3); Results: STAG showed a significantly greater reduction in pain versus STG and AG at T2 (p < 0.001; p = 0.014) and at T3 (p < 0.001; p = 0.01). Furthermore, STAG achieved a significantly greater reduction in pain duration versus STG at T2 (p = 0.020) and T3 (p = 0.026) and a greater impression of change versus STG (p = 0.004) and AG (p = 0.037) at T3. Similar effects were observed in all groups for frequency of occurrence, migraine disability, impact, and depression and anxiety levels; Conclusions: A combined manual therapy protocol including soft tissue and articulatory techniques yields larger improvements on pain and perception of change than either technique alone, yet the three therapeutic approaches show similar benefits for reducing pain, disability and impact caused by the migraine, depression or anxiety levels.

“…Static stretching slowly becomes a stretching condition (Campos de Oliveira et al, 2016) and the individual may maintain a stretching position for 10 to 30 seconds (Kimoto et al, 2015). More static stretching to cool after exercise are appropriate (Wanderley et al, 2019). However, one can also use static light stretching to warm up (Turgut and Mtlu yasar, 2019).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), ballistic, and static stretching exercises on the range of motion after sports injury surgery in soccer team athletes. The purpose of this research was an applied one, in terms of method was descriptive and correlational one. Therefore, in terms of data collection, the research method was the laboratory strategy. The statistical population of this study was injured male students of soccer players who had undergone surgery. The sample included 97 students (30 active ballistic, 30 active statics and 37 PNF stretching exercises). Statistical analysis of the data was done by SPSS 20 software and t-test. Overall, the results showed that PNF stretching had a significant effect, statics stretching had moderate impact and ballistic stretching had a low but significant effect on the range of motion after sports injury in soccer athletes. That is, PNF had the best effect in terms of increasing the range of motion of the muscles after surgery, followed by static and ballistic stretching, respectively.
