Migraine is one of the most common disabling headache disorders which is categorized into two broad types based on the number of headache days. It is called episodic or general migraine if the attacks occur less than 15 days per month, and it is categorized as chronic or transformed migraine if headache occur on 15 or more days per month. This study was conducted to find out the effect of strategy for pain using a modality and strategy using mobilization in reducing disability, frequency and pain in migraine without aura. Thirty-Two subjects were selected based on diagnostic criteria for migraine and divided into two groups. Group A received Cervical Mobilization and Myofascial Release with home exercise program and Group B received Transcutaneous Supraorbital Nerve Stimulation with home exercise program. Visual Analogue Scale, Questionnaire (HIT-6) were recorded as outcome on baseline and after 3 weeks. Results showed significant improvements in both the groups with, p<0.01. Between group comparisons elicited non-significant differences with p˃ 0.05. Following the results, it can be concluded that cervical mobilization and Transcutaneous Supraorbital nerve stimulation can be added as a valuable adjunct to medical management in the treatment of migraine without aura.

Cerebellar ataxia is caused by several hereditary or acquired aetiologies that eventually lead to abnormalities in the cerebellum. Patients with cerebellar ataxia may experience balance issues, eye movement abnormalities, limb incoordination, gait instability, and speech impairment as a result. The available treatment options for cerebellar ataxia are rather limited, causing many patients to struggle with daily activities. Although the success rate of a range of therapeutic interventions has been determined, evidence-based exercise guidelines for the treatment of balance disorders and associated problems in people with cerebellar ataxia are currently unavailable. Thus, physiotherapists must explore novel approaches to successfully manage the symptoms of ataxia and further improve the quality of life of patients. The current study protocol will provide new insight as no article available to date has looked at trunk and pelvis stabilization exercise programme as an intervention for treating cerebellar ataxia. We hereby propose a study, which aims to investigate the impact of conventional exercises and trunk and pelvis stabilization exercises along with conventional exercises on subjects with Cerebellar ataxia in a two-arm randomized controlled trial on improving SARA, TIS, BBS, Barthel Index, WHOQOL The total participants will be divided into two-arm parallel groups and the intervention will be given for complete 6 weeks, 5 days in a week. The outcome measure will be evaluated at baseline and the end of 6 weeks. The results will be evaluated after 6 weeks. If the hypothesis of our study proves to be effective, then this physiotherapy intervention could be included in the management of cerebellar ataxia

Introduction: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may develop during the preschool years of the child and extend into adulthood. ADHD also leads to impaired Working Memory (WM) creating problems in various functions. Aim: To compare the effectiveness of behavioural parent training and structured games on WM of children with ADHD. Materials and Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted in 18 schools of Ghaziabad City, Uttar Pradesh, India. Seventy subjects were selected based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) criteria. Group A (n=35) received structured games and Group B (n=35) received Behavioural Parent Training (BPT). Seguin Form Board Test Time (SFBTT) was recorded as outcome on baseline and 5th week. Student’s paired and unpaired t-test was done. SPSS 22.0 version was the software used and p<0.05 was considered as level of significance. Results: Analysed data showed significant results within structured games group with t=2.355, p<0.05, and no significant result within BPT group with t=-0.776, p>0.05. Between group comparison showed significant difference with t=-2.804, p<0.05. Conclusion: Training of WM in form of structured games can be an effective method when compared to BPT in children with ADHD.

A 27-year-old male presented with paralysis and tingling sensations in bilateral lower limbs. History revealed a D4-D6 spinal fixation secondary to a road traffic accident. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) diagnosed the case as post-traumatic syringomyelia secondary to spinal cord injury. Following the surgeon’s clearance, a targeted early rehabilitation intervention (TERI) for functional independence, bed mobility and transfers was initiated and continued for four weeks. Patient showed considerable improvements in Barthel index (40-85%) and Karnofsky Performance Status (20-70%). Physiotherapy Targeted early rehabilitation intervention can be a valuable adjunct to other management strategies in spinal cord lesions.
