“…Currently, no other studies are demonstrating the impact of FR in patients with TTH. A recent study reported beneficial effects of a protocol including FR, mobility and stretching exercises on ROM, frequency and pain intensity, fatigue, stiffness, depression/sadness and the disease’s impact on people with fibromyalgia [ 43 ]. On the one hand, our study is novel because previous papers investigating the effectiveness of MT in TTH [ 11 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 26 , 41 ] have used isolated MT techniques and measured a few variables.…”

Background: This study compares the effect of foam rolling (FR) vs. manual therapy (MT) on pain, pressure pain threshold (PPT), headache disability (HDI) and impact of headache (HIT-6) in patients with tension-type headache (TTH). Methods: A total of 38 participants with TTH were randomly assigned to an FR group (FRG, n = 13), an MT group (MTG, n = 13) or a control group (CG, n = 12). FRG received FR treatment; MTG received MT techniques; CG received a placebo treatment. The treatment lasted one month. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up. Results: Both FRG and MTG showed significant improvements in all variables after the treatment, but the intervention effect was maintained only for functional disability (p = 0.002 and p = 0.005, respectively), overall disability (p = 0.007; p = 0.030) and HIT-6 (p = 0.002; p = 0.001) at follow-up. After treatment, FRG and MTG presented a significantly higher PPT in right (p = 0.044; p = 0.009) and left suboccipital (p = 0.004; p = 0.021). MTG showed a significantly lower HIT-6 than CG (p = 0.008). No differences between FRG and MTG were found in any variable. Conclusions: Both FR and MT are effective treatments for the improvement of clinical symptoms in TTH. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings in a larger population.

“…Based on physiotherapy, various effective strategies have been developed for the management and control of AxSpA [ 11 , 12 ]. However, orthopedic manual therapy (OMT) techniques focusing on soft tissue management have not been fully studied; therefore, their efficacy is uncertain in this population [ 13 , 14 ]. Fascia, which is considered a predictor of joint mobility and axial structure and whose basal tone is not dependent on the central nervous system but on the innate resistance of its composition, appears to have a determining role in the etiology of this disease [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Background Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) produces structural changes that cause alterations in body functions. One tissue that seems to have a predictive role in the etiology and progression of the disease is the soft tissue, particularly the fascia. However, little is known about the use of myofascial induction in people with AxSpA, and clinical evidence from physiotherapy regarding potential strategies is limited. Objective To evaluate the efficacy of myofascial induction compared with its simulation on joint amplitude in people with AxSpA. Methods In this randomized controlled parallel superiority clinical trial, 84 people with an AxSpA diagnosis confirmed by a rheumatologist will be randomly assigned to groups: the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group will receive myofascial induction, and the control group will undergo a simulation of the technique. Both groups will receive an examination session and six intervention sessions twice per week for three weeks. A baseline follow-up will be performed immediately after the intervention and four weeks after treatment. Conclusion The results of this study may contribute to a better understanding of the efficacy of myofascial induction for joint mobility in people with AxSpA. The implications of these results have a potential transformative effect on the understanding, analysis, evaluation, and physiotherapeutic treatment of this health condition. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04424589. Registered 11 June 2020.
