The immediate effect of peripheral stimulation on cervical dystonia disease outcomes: single-case experimental design. SG Kassaye, D Crosiers, EK Gudina, N Nadjmi, E Van de Casteele, J De Pauw, W De Hertogh.

In conclusion, over one-third of participants demonstrated immediate improvements in neck rotation and neck flexion-extension across all three treatment modalities. Short-term pain reductions were observed following muscle stimulation and vibration.

Three-dimensional dynamic evaluation of facial soft tissue changes following anterior traction in growing Angle Class III malocclusion patients. J Han, Q Li, L Wang, J Zhang, B Liu, H Zhan, J Liu, K Qi.

By adopting the 3dMD dynamic system, we captured, for the first time, a significant increase in RMS values during key facial movements, including smile lips open, lip purse, and cheek puff, following traction treatment. As an orthopedic treatment, anterior traction provides a structural basis for the forward development of the maxilla by stimulating the patient’s own growth potential and promoting bone suture reconstruction.
