“…The rise in temperature extends deeper [ 48 , 49 , 55 ], although the actual amount progressively decreases as it deepens from the surface of the skin [ 47 , 58 ]. However, this involves an overall analgesic effect [ 47 , 49 , 56 , 59 ], and consequently a well-being after therapy, with muscle relaxation, an increase in muscle flexibility [ 60 , 61 ], a reduction in pain associated with movements, and an increase in the elasticity of the connective tissue [ 49 , 56 , 61 , 62 ].…”

Acid attacks are on the rise, and they cause extensive and deep burns, especially on the face. The treatments used to improve the aesthetic, functional and social impact of non-acid scars do not always prove useful for acid scars. This article reports the case of a woman with an extended, mature, acid facial scar, caused by sulfuric acid assault, treated with a recent new procedure that combines the application of vacuum and electromagnetic fields. Before and after the treatment, the aesthetic appearance, and motor function of the face and neck were evaluated, as well as the level of hydration, the amount of sebum, the elasticity, and the pH of the skin. The improvements highlighted after the treatment of the aesthetic and functional characteristics of the face and neck, and of the physical parameters of the skin seemed to indicate that this particular treatment induces tissue regeneration, even in the nerve component. However, it is evident that the rehabilitation pathways of facial wounds and scars must be personalized, and must include continuous psychological support for the patient.

BackgroundThe appearance of striae gravidarum (SG) during pregnancy is a common problem. The most common SG are abdominal striae, which can cause the greatest sequelae after pregnancy, and in the long term. There are several solutions to prevent and treat these striae, but not all are completely effective, and not without side effects.AimsThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment that applies an electromagnetic field under vacuum (V‐EMF therapy) on the abdominal SG.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 26 women affected by abdominal SG and treated with V‐EMF therapy. The results were evaluated using two different 5‐point Likert Scales: one administered to the treated subjects to evaluate their satisfaction, and one to the doctors who performed the treatment, to evaluate the improvement of the striae. The presence of side effects, and the effects of sun exposure after treatment were also considered.ResultsOnly two treated subjects rated their level of satisfaction with a Score III on the Liker Scale. Everyone else expressed higher levels of satisfaction. Only one doctor rated the improvement of the striae with a Liker scale score of III. All the others reported greater improvements. No discomfort or side effects were noted either during the individual treatment sessions, or at the end of the treatment. The striae showed a newfound ability to tan.ConclusionsV‐EMF therapy proves to be a valid, safe, and effective treatment modality for SG.

“…The scoring of each item has the same weight in each area, and the score of each area is converted into a percentage (%), with 0 indicating the perfect condition and 100 indicating the worst condition. The total score is determined by the average score of the 13 evaluation items [ 26 ]. The inter-rater test–retest reliability of SPADI was 0.99, and the internal consistency was 0.943 for Cronbach’s alpha [ 27 ].…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dynamic stretching combined with manual therapy on pain, range of motion, function, and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: the dynamic stretching combined with manual therapy (DSMT) group (n = 17) and the static stretching combined with manual therapy (SSMT) group (n = 17). Both groups received manual therapy for 10 min and two sessions per week for 4 weeks. The DSMT group also performed additional dynamic stretching for 20 min per session, two sessions per week for 4 weeks. The SSMT group practiced additional static stretching for 20 min per session, two sessions per week for 4 weeks. The pain, ROM, function, and quality of life were measured and evaluated before and after treatment. There were significant improvements in the outcomes of pain, flexion and abduction of shoulder ROM, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and the physical component score and mental component score of the Short Form-36 (SF-36) in both groups. Additionally, the external and internal rotation of the shoulder ROM and the SF-36 general health factor increased significantly more in the A group (DSMT group) compared to the B group (SSMT). In conclusion, dynamic stretching plus manual therapy offers the same results as static stretching plus manual therapy, but with additional improvement in internal and external rotation.
