Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the short-term effectiveness of exercise combined with PNE and exercise alone via telerehabilitation for patients with low back pain (LBP) caused by facet joint arthrosis (FJA). METHODS This is a prospective, single-blind, randomized-controlled clinical trial. Forty-five patients with LBP caused by FJA were randomly allocated into three groups. The exercise (n = 15) and the exercise with PNE (n = 15) groups were provided interventions twice a week for six weeks via telerehabilitation. The control group (n = 15) was placed on the waiting list. The primary outcome measures were the numeric pain-rating scale (NPRS) at rest and with activity, The Oswestry disability index (ODI), the pain beliefs questionnaire (PBQ), and secondary outcome measures were short form-12v2 (SF-12v2) and the global rating of change score (GROC). RESULTS The groups (52.00 ± 4.86, 46.7% female) were similar at baseline except for gender (p = 0.029). There was a significant group-by-time interaction for NPRS-rest (F = 4.276, p = 0.021), NPRS-activity (F = 12.327, p = 0.0001), the ODI (F = 23.122, p = 0.0001) and organic pain belief (F = 39.708, p = 0.0001). Further comparison with ANOVA showed that the exercise with PNE group showed better improvement in only organic pain belief (p = 0.0001). All groups reported improvements according to GROC, but it was higher in the intervention groups (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION The patients who received exercise combined with PNE and exercise alone significantly improved pain intensity, disability and organic pain beliefs via telerehabilitation for patients with LBP caused by FJA compared to the control group. The PNE in addition to exercise may exhibit greater benefit in improving organic pain beliefs in short term. SIGNIFICANCE This study highlights that combining exercise with PNE can lead to greater improvements compared to exercise alone or no intervention for FJA patients. The implementation of PNE in physiotherapy sessions has the potential to offer significant benefits. Furthermore, our results highlight the promising role of telerehabilitation as an effective method for delivering interventions to individuals with FJA.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to compare the effects of home exercise alone and telerehabilitation combined with home exercise in individuals with transtibial amputation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The telerehabilitation group (n = 24) received telerehabilitation combined with home exercise, while the control group (n = 24) received home exercise alone. Outcomes included the timed up-and-go (TUG) test and the 30-second chair-stand test (30CST), the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales (TAPES), the Amputee Body Image Scale (ABIS), and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). The analysis used a 2 × 2 mixed repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS The group-by-time interactions were significant for TUG (p = 0.002, F[1;41] = 10.74) and 30CST (p = 0.001, F[1;41] = 11.48). The mean difference (6th week-baseline) was -0.49 for TUG and 0.95 for 30CST in the telerehabilitation group and -0.14 for TUG and 0.13 for 30CST in the control group. There were statistically meaningful group-by-time interactions on the ABC (p = 0.0004, F[1;41] = 14.47), the TAPES-activity restriction (p = 0.0001, F[1;41] = 28.96), TAPES-prosthesis satisfaction (p = 0.004, F[1;41] = 9.19), and the NHP (p = 0.0002, F[1;41] = 16.07) favoring the telerehabilitation group. CONCLUSIONS Telerehabilitation combined with home exercise can offer greater benefits in improving gait, muscle strength, balance confidence, activity restriction, prosthesis satisfaction, and quality of life compared to home exercise alone for individuals with transtibial amputation.Implications for rehabilitationExercise helps individuals with lower limb amputation overcome their physical limitations and enables them to use their prostheses effectively.Physiotherapy and rehabilitation after amputation are not at the desired level, and individuals with lower limb amputation encounter various difficulties in accessing physiotherapy.Telerehabilitation has great potential to facilitate access to physiotherapy for individuals with amputation and reduce resource utilization.In a relatively small sample of amputees, this study shows that telerehabilitation-based exercise improves physical health and quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program with electromyographic biofeedback compared with the control group on patients with massive rotator cuff tear. DESIGN Forty-six adults with massive rotator cuff tears, randomly assigned to 2 groups (23 electromyographic biofeedback group vs. 23 control group). The electromyographic biofeedback group (experimental group) performed the exercises under the guidance of electromyographic biofeedback, unlike the control group. All patients underwent a 45-minute training session a day, 3 times a week over a 6-wk duration, and followed up until 1-year. The outcome measures were American Shoulder and Elbow score, shoulder flexion strength, shoulder range of motion, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and Global Rating of Change Scale. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the electromyographic biofeedback group demonstrated a significant change in shoulder flexion strength and patient satisfaction from baseline to 6 wks (posttraining) and from baseline to 12-mo follow-up ( F = 4.671, P = 0.005). There were significant improvements in within groups statistics for American Shoulder and Elbow score, shoulder flexion strength, shoulder range of motion, and Numeric Pain Rating Scale in both groups ( P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrate that deltoid-focused structured rehabilitation program combined with electromyographic biofeedback can be used to increase shoulder flexion strength and patient satisfaction in conservative treatment of massive rotator cuff tear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many treatment strategies have been described for the management of frozen shoulder. However, to date no randomized controlled trial has directly compared the efficacy of exercise and oral corticosteroids. The aim of this study was to determine whether pain, range of motion, and function differ between patients with frozen shoulder randomized to treatment with exercise or oral corticosteroids. METHODS This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded trial was performed to compare the effectiveness of exercise and oral corticosteroids in patients with frozen shoulder. Overall, 33 patients with FS were randomly assigned to receive either exercise (n=17) or oral corticosteroids (n = 16). The exercise was applied 2 times per week for 6 weeks for 12 visits and patients in oral corticosteroids group received prednisolone for 4 weeks. Participants were assessed at baseline, after 6-weeks and at the 12-week follow-up. The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and visual analog scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes were American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment (ASES), range of motion, and hospital anxiety and depression (HAD). scale. Repeated-measures analysis of covariance (ANCOVAs) with baseline scores as the covariates were used to determine between-group differences. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed using the multiple imputation method to impute values for all missing data. RESULTS Planned pairwise comparisons demonstrated significant improvements in pain relief and functional outcomes in both groups at the 6- and 12-week follow-ups compared to baseline. There were no significant time-by-group interactions between-group differences noted for the DASH (F=0.470, p= 0.93), VAS (F=0.006, p=0.94), flexion range of motion (ROM) (F=2.78, p=0.1), internal rotation ROM (F=3.440, p=0.07) and ASES (F=0.470, p=0.49). The overall group-by-time interaction for the 2×3 mixed-model ANCOVA using baseline scores as a covariate was significant for the abduction range (F=4.460, p=0.04) and external rotation range of motion (F=12.100, p = 0.002) in favor of the exercise group CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated that while both groups achieved significant improvements at the 6-, and 12-week follow-ups, the exercise group was superior in terms of abduction and external rotation range of motion. Additionally, even though both groups were improved, the effect sizes were larger in the exercise group. Considering the systemic side effects of oral corticosteroids, even at low doses, a well-planned exercise program that considers pain may be a good option for frozen shoulder.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop an evidence-based education program to increase mothers' awareness and knowledge of shaken baby syndrome (SBS) and evaluate program effectiveness. DESIGN AND METHODS Mothers with babies between 2 and 4 months of age were completed the study (intervention group = 43 and control group = 44). This single-blind randomized controlled study was conducted between September 2020 and February 2021. The intervention group participated in an 8-week follow-up. Outcome variables were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks after commencement of the intervention, which included measures to evaluate the administration of the shaken baby syndrome prevention program (SBSPP). The study was approved by ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04568538. RESULTS Scores for the SBS assessment survey were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Developing effective interventions for SBS is an important public health goal. This study is the first to prove the effectiveness of an SBSPP conducted by nurses in Turkey. We believe that the implementation of this program in a larger sample will make a significant contribution to SBS reduction. Pediatric nurses identify the needs of parents with babies younger than 6 months and support them to manage this process correctly.

Abstract
PURPOSE To translate and culturally adapt the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder scale into Turkish (T-UCLA) and determine its psychometric properties. MATERIAL AND METHODS The UCLA scale was translated into Turkish using Beaton guidelines. Ninety-one patients (46 male; mean age: 46.0 ± 13.7 years) with shoulder disorders completed T-UCLA and American Shoulder and Elbow Score (ASES), Simple Shoulder Test (SST) and 36-Item Short Form (SF-36). Test-retest reliability was tested in 50 patients at a mean of 5.2 ± 2.2 days after initial assessment. Validity was evaluated in 91 patients, and correlations between ASES, SST and SF-36 were analyzed. Responsiveness was assessed in 33 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a mean follow-up of 12.8 ± 0.5 months. RESULTS Test-retest reliability of overall T-UCLA, pain and function subscales were 0.96, 0.94 and 0.86, respectively. The correlation coefficients between T-UCLA and SST and ASES were r = 0.752 and r = 0.783, respectively (p < 0.001). The highest correlations between T-UCLA and SF-36 were observed in physical functioning (r = 0.64) and bodily pain subscales (r = 0.66). No ceiling or floor effect observed. Overall and subscales of T-UCLA were highly responsive (ES = 3.22-4.31). CONCLUSION T-UCLA has sufficient reliability and validity similar to original and translated versions. T-UCLA is responsive in patients who underwent rotator cuff repair.Implications for rehabilitationIn this study, Turkish version of the UCLA was found to be a reliable and valid outcome measure in patients with various shoulder pathologies.Turkish version of the UCLA is a very responsive tool in patients with who underwent arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of noninvasive tests in predicting liver fibrosis levels in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 539 treatment naive patients aged 18 years and older with CHB who underwent liver biopsy were included. Patients with coinfections and comorbidities were excluded. Data were obtained retrospectively from patient' follow- up files. Liver biopsy was evaluated according to the Ishak scoring system. SPSS 22.0 program was used for statistical analysis. Diagnostic sensitivity of APRI, FIB-4, NLR, GPR, AAR, RPR, API, King's score, Fibro Q and MPV was determined for predicting ≥F2, ≥F3, ≥F4, ≥F5 groups. RESULTS The median age of the CHB patients was 41 ±11.57 / year and 49.2% of the patients were female. The distribution of fibrosis stages was : F0, 16.5% ; F1, 26.4% ; F2, 39.7% ; F3, 10.4% ; F4, 4.1% ; F5, 2.4% ; F6 0.4%. Age, AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, RDW, HBV DNA levels were significantly higher, platelet and albumin levels were significantly lower in the ≥F3 group. All noninvasive tests except NLR and AAR predicted ≥F3 adequately (AUROC >0.5). King's score for predicting ≥F2, ≥F5, and GPR for predicting ≥F3 had the highest diagnostic power. The tests predicted the fibrosis stage better, as the fibrosis stage progressed. CONCLUSION As a result, most of the noninvasive tests we evaluated could predict significant fibrosis and cirrhosis with significant accuracy. The rate of unnecessary biopsies can be reduced with the help of these noninvasive tests.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study explored the effects of Pilates on the muscle strength, function, and instability of patients with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in situations in which a non-surgical treatment option is preferred. METHODS Fifty participants 20-45 years of age who were diagnosed with isolated ACL injuries were included in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to either the Pilates exercise group (n = 24) or the control group (n = 26). The subjects in the Pilates exercise group performed basic mat exercises that focused on the muscle strength and flexibility of the lower limbs and core muscles during each class session, which met three times per week for 12 weeks. The control group did not receive any treatment or home exercise programme. All patients were evaluated using the Lysholm Knee Scale, the Cincinnati Knee Rating System, and isokinetic quadriceps and hamstring strength. Patient satisfaction regarding improvement in knee stability was assessed using the Global Rating of Change scale. RESULTS The Pilates group experienced significant improvement over the control group as measured by the difference in quadriceps strength at 12 weeks (p = 0.03). Both groups showed some clinical change over time, but the Pilates group improved for all outcome measurements at the 12-week follow-up, and the control group only improved for functional outcomes. Patient satisfaction with the level of knee stability based on the Global Rating of Change scale was higher in the Pilates group than in the control group. CONCLUSION Although both groups exhibited improvements in knee strength and functional outcomes, the results suggest that Pilates is a superior management approach over a control treatment for increasing quadriceps strength in participants with partial ACL injury. Pilates may provide clinicians a novel option when choosing a treatment for a partial ACL injury. Further study is needed to determine whether certain subgroups of individuals might achieve an added benefit with this approach. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip Outcome Score (HOS), originally developed in English, assesses the severity of hip pathology. To date, no Turkish version of the questionnaire exists. PURPOSE The aim of our study was to translate the HOS into Turkish and verify its psychometric properties. METHODS The translation and cultural adaptation were performed according to international recommendations in five stages: The HOS was translated into Turkish, consistent with published methodological guidelines. The process included 2 forward translations, followed by the synthesis of these translations, and 2 backward translations, followed by an analysis of the translations and creation of the final version. The measurement properties of the Turkish HOS (internal consistency, construct validity, floor and ceiling effects and responsiveness) were tested in 130 patients. RESULTS A committee consisting of the four translators agreed with the final version of the HOS (HOS-Tr). The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability of the HOS-Tr-ADL and HOS-Tr-S subscales were excellent. Correlations between the HOS-Tr and convergent validity of the with HHS and NAHS were fair to good. The responsiveness of the HOS-Tr-ADL and HOS-Tr-S subscales were 3.4 to 1.4 for patients treated with surgically and 0.9 to 1.1 for patients treated with non-surgically. CONCLUSION The HOS-Tr is understandable, reliably, valid, and responsive for Turkish-speaking patients with hip pathology. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 3 Diagnostic Study.

Abstract
Purpose: MCID scores for outcome measures are frequently used evidence-based guides to gage meaningful changes. To conduct a systematic review of the quality and content of the the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) relating to 16 patient-rated outcome measures (PROM) used in lower extremity. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review on articles reporting MCID in lower extremity outcome measures and orthopedics from January 1, 1980, to May 10, 2016. We evaluated MCID of the 16 patient reported outcome measures (PROM) which were Harris Hip Score (HHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), The Lysholm Scale, The Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET), The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Quality of Life Questionnaire (ACL-QOL), The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), The Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities Index (WOMAC), Knee İnjury And Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale, The Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment Patellar Tendinosis (Jumper’s Knee) (VİSA-P), Tegner Activity Rating Scale, Marx Activity Rating Scale, Foot And Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), The Foot Function Index (FFI), Foot And Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), The Foot And Ankle Disability Index Score and Sports Module, Achill Tendon Total Rupture Score(ATRS), The Victorian İnstitute Of Sports Assesment Achilles Questionnaire(VİSA-A), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS). A search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro and Cochrane Cen¬tral Register of Controlled Trials and Web of Science databases from the date of inception to May 1, 2016 was conducted. The terms “minimal clinically important difference,” “minimal clinically important change”, “minimal clinically important improvement” “were combined with one of the PROM as mentioned above. Results: A total of 223 abstracts were reviewed and 119 articles chosen for full text review. Thirty articles were included in the final evaluation. The MCID was mostly calculated for WOMAC and frequently reported in knee and hip osteoartritis, knee and hip atrhroplasties, femoraasetabular impingement syndrome and focal cartilage degeneration. In addition, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was the most used method to report MCID. Conclusions: MCID is an important concept used to determine whether a medical intervention improves perceived outcomes in patients. Despite an abundance of methods reported in the literature, little work in MCID estimation has been done in the PRAM related to lower extremity. There is a need for future studies in this regard.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the Olerud-Molander Ankle Score (OMAS) into Turkish and to assess its reliability and validity. Methods The Turkish version of the OMAS (OMAS-Tr) was developed after the translation and back-translation, which included the stages recommended by Beaton. The OMAS-Tr was administered to one hundred patients (49 females, 51 males; average age: 42.3 ± 17.7; range 16–81 years) with malleolar fractures. The OMAS-Tr was completed twice by each participant at 7- to 10-days intervals to assess test-retest reliability based on the interrater correlation coefficient, whereas Cronbach's alpha evaluated internal consistency. The external validity was evaluated with correlations between the Turkish version of the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) and the Turkish version of the SF-12 questionnaire. The distribution of floor and ceiling effects was also analyzed. Results The internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.84) and the test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.98) were excellent. The mean interval between the two tests was 8.6 ± 1.4 days. The mean and standard deviation of the first and second assessments of the OMAS-Tr were 74.1 ± 23.7 and 75.7 ± 23.9, respectively. There was a strong correlation between the OMAS-Tr and the FAAM subscales on activities of daily living and sports (r = 0.86, r = 0.83; p < 0.001, respectively). The OMAS-Tr displayed very good to good correlation with the SF-12 physical component score and the SF-12 mental component score (r = 0.72, r = 0.60, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion OMAS-Tr was a valid and reliable tool to assess ankle fracture-related problems. Nonetheless, further studies are needed to assess its responsiveness. Level of evidence Level III, diagnostic study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is widely used to evaluate disabilities associated with shoulder injuries, but it has been criticized for relying on imprecise terminology and a lack of standardized methodology. A modified guideline, therefore, was published in 2008 with several recommendations. This new version has not yet been translated or culturally adapted for Turkish-speaking populations. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the modified CMS and its test protocol, as well as define and measure its reliability and validity. METHODS The modified CMS was translated into Turkish, consistent with published methodological guidelines. The measurement properties of the Turkish version of the modified CMS were tested in 30 patients (12 males, 18 females; mean age: 59.5±13.5 years) with a variety of shoulder pathologies. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to estimate test-retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed with the Turkish version of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12). RESULTS No difficulties were found in the translation process. The Turkish version of the modified CMS showed excellent test-retest reliability (ICC=0.86). The correlation coefficients between the Turkish version of the modified CMS and the ASES, SF-12-physical component score, and SF-12 mental component scores were found to be 0.48, 0.35, and 0.05, respectively. No floor or ceiling effects were found. CONCLUSION The translation and cultural adaptation of the modified CMS and its standardized test protocol into Turkish were successful. The Turkish version of the modified CMS has sufficient reliability and validity to measure a variety of shoulder disorders for Turkish-speaking individuals.

Abstract
Objective Although the Short Form Health Survey version-2.0 (SF-36v2) is widely used since 2000, the researchers and clinicians in Turkey have been still using the original version. However, the original version includes many deficiencies and the SF-36v2 was introduced aiming to correct these deficiencies. The purpose of this study is to indicate differences between SF-36 and SF-36v2 and the present cross cultural adaptation, reliability and validity of the SF-36v2. Patients and methods The SF-36v2 was cross culturally adapted to Turkish and the measurement properties of the Turkish version of the SF-36v2 were tested in 50 patients (19 males; mean ± SD age: 36.9 ± 14.6 years; range: 16–65 years, BMI; 24.1 ± 4.6) with a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to estimate the test-retest reliability. Construct validity was analyzed with SF-36v2 and EuroQol Group (EQ-5D). The distribution of ceiling and floor effects was determined. Results During the cross-cultural adaptation process many changes were made. The Turkish SF-36v2 subscales showed excellent test-retest reliability which was ranged 0.80 to 0.95. The highest correlation was found between SF-36v2-PCS and SF-36v2-PF (r = 0.75), the lowest correlation was found between SF-36v2-PCS and SF-36v2-MH (r = 0.05). The correlations between EQ-5D and SF-36v2 subscales ranged from 0.10 (SF-36v2 –VT) to 0.46 (SF-36v2 –RE). We observed no ceiling and floor effects. Conclusion The cultural adaptation of the SF-36v2 was successful. The SF-36v2 has sufficient reliability and validity to measure a variety of musculoskeletal pathologies for Turkish-speaking individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE To translate and culturally adapt the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) into Turkish and assess the psychometric properties of the translated version. METHODS The FAAM was translated into Turkish according to Beaton's recommendations and it is called FAAM-T. Ninety-eight patients (39 males, mean ± SD age 35.0 ± 14.0 years; range 16-71 years) with different foot and ankle complaints were included, and the score was completed twice by each participant after 7 days of the first assessment to assess test-retest reliability based on the inter-rater correlation coefficient, whereas Cronbach's alpha evaluated internal consistency. External validity was evaluated with correlations between the FAAM-T, Foot Function Index (FFI) and Short Form-36 (SF-36). The distribution of floor and ceiling effects was determined. RESULTS The test-retest reliability was 0.90 for both FAAM-T subscales. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.95 and 0.91 for FAAM-T activity of daily living (ADL) and FAAM-T Sport subscales, respectively. The FAAM-T ADL and Sport subscales demonstrated very good correlation with the FFI (r = 0.70 and 0.63, respectively). The FAAM-T ADL and Sport subscales had a high level of association with physical functioning and the physical component scale (r = 0.71, r = 0.70 and r = 0.51, r = 0.55, respectively; P = 0.001) of the SF-36. The weakest associations were found between the FAAM-T ADL, FAAM-T Sport subscales and the SF-36 the vitality (r = 0.27, P = 0.008 and r = 0.28, P = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The study provides preliminary evidence that the FAAM-T is reliable, valid and responsive outcome measurement of patients with foot and ankle pathologies.

Abstract
Background Single-session hypnosis has never been evaluated as a premedication technique in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the beneficial effects of clinical hypnotherapy on perioperative anxiety, pain perception, sedation, and necessity for ventilator assistance in patients undergoing CABG. Methods Double-blind, randomized, clinical trial was performed. Forty-four patients undergoing CABG surgery were randomized into two groups. The patients in group A received preprocedural hypnosis by an anesthesiologist. Patients in group B (control) had only information on the surgical intervention by the same anesthesiologist. State-Trait-Anxiety Index-I (STAI-I) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were performed preoperatively in both groups. Visual analog scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation scale (RSS) were evaluated on 0th, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, and 24th hours, postoperatively. Postoperative anxiety level, analgesic drug consumption, and duration of ventilator assistance and intensive care unit (ICU) stay were also documented. Results When anxiety and depression levels were compared, significantly lower STA-I and BDI values were detected in group A after hypnotherapy (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). Significantly less total doses of remifentanil (34.4 ± 11.4 vs. 50.0 ± 13.6 mg) and morphine (4.9 ± 3.3 vs. 13.6 ± 2.7 mg) were administered in group A in the postoperative period. Ventilator assistance duration (6.8 ± 2.0 vs. 8.9 ± 2.7 hours) was also shorter in group A when compared with that in group B (p = 0.007). Conclusion Hypnosis session prior to surgery was an effective complementary method in decreasing presurgical anxiety, and it resulted in better pain control as well as reduced ventilator assistance following CABG surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of joint mobilization combined with stretching exercises in patients with frozen shoulder. DESIGN A randomized controlled clinical pilot trial. SETTING Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology. SUBJECTS Thirty patients with frozen shoulder. INTERVENTION All participants were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: joint mobilization and stretching versus stretching exercises alone. Both groups performed a home exercise program and were treated for six weeks (18 sessions). MAIN MEASURES The primary outcome measures for functional assessment were the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score and the Constant score. The secondary outcome measures were pain level, as evaluated with a visual analog scale, and range of motion, as measured using a conventional goniometer. Patients were assessed before treatment, at the end of the treatment, and after one year as follow-up. RESULTS Two-by-two repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni corrections revealed significant increases in abduction (91.9° [CI: 86.1-96.7] to 172.8° [CI: 169.7-175.5]), external rotation (28.1° [CI: 22.2-34.2] to 77.7° [CI: 70.3-83.0]) and Constant score (39.1 [CI: 35.3-42.6] to 80.5 [75.3-86.6]) at the one-year follow-up in the joint mobilization combined with stretching exercise group, whereas the group performing stretching exercise alone did not show such changes. CONCLUSION In the treatment of patients with frozen shoulder, joint mobilization combined with stretching exercises is better than stretching exercise alone in terms of external rotation, abduction range of motion and function score.
