“…Recent systematic reviews have also suggested similar outcomes with ESWT and CSI and ACP injection therapies for PHP [8,68,69]. This suggests these invasive injection therapies may be unnecessary if ESWT is available as a treatment option as it is associated with less side effects and a better safety profile [70][71][72].…”

Background: Plantar heel pain (PHP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder, with both extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) and specific exercise such as plantar fascia specific stretching shown to be effective treatments. This review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combined ESWT and exercise interventions versus other interventions in treating PHP. Methods: A systematic review of effectiveness was conducted, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were searched for studies published between January 2000 and March 2020, with 12 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was used to determine quality of recommendations. Results: The 12 included studies (n = 861) compared ESWT and stretching with various other treatments. Due to clinical and methodological heterogeneity, pooling of data was not possible, and a narrative synthesis of findings was provided. There was high quality evidence that combined ESWT and stretching interventions are more effective than those using either alone or botulinum toxin injections, and low-quality evidence of superiority versus ultrasound and stretching. There was moderate quality evidence that combined ESWT and stretching is no more effective than corticosteroid injection (CSI), and high quality evidence that the combination is no more effective than blood-derived injection therapies, custom orthotics or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) combined with stretching. There is high quality evidence that the use of topical corticosteroid or laser therapy in combination with ESWT and stretching increases effectiveness compared to ESWT and stretching alone, and moderate quality evidence for the additive effective of dry needling. Conclusions: Combined ESWT and stretching treatments are effective and may be recommended where they are available and practical to implement. Further high-quality studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up durations comparing combined interventions for PHP, including different exercise types such as resistance training are required.

“…Furthermore, key information errors were found in two review protocols, confusing the exposure and outcome subgroup leading to a lack of clarity [24,27]. Other errors were discovered including the fact that protocols did not provide the details of the search strategy, despite the fact that the published review [34] stated explicitly that the detailed search strategy could be found in the protocol.…”

Inconsistencies are common between non-Cochrane systematic reviews and their protocols registered in the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) but were seldom explained

Background: Protocols of systematic reviews allow for planning and documentation of review methods, and thus improve the transparency of reviews process. However, pre-registered a protocol is not enough, the author also need to follow it. PROSPERO is an open-access online facility for the registration of non-Cochrane systematic reviews. The purpose of our research is to determined what changed were made between non-Cochrane reviews and their protocols in PROSPERO and how likely these changes impacted the quality of systematic review. Method: In this retrospective comparative study we electronically searched for protocols and their corresponding systematic reviews in the PROSPERO platform that were “completed and published” from January to December, 2018. Two reviewers independently identified and classified changes between the protocols and systematic reviews then evaluated the impact (improve/reduce/unclear)of these change on the reporting/methodology quality of reviews. Frequency (n), percentage (%) were used to analyze the number of changes categorically in each review and the distribution of different impact caused by these changes. Results: We identified 39 pre-registered protocols and their reviews, all of which exhibited alterations. All changes to only one review are considered to improve the reporting/methodology quality, and remaining 97% of reviews (n=38) contain changes that are categorically considered to reduce the methodology/reporting quality or that have an unclear impact on reviews. Conclusions: Differences between the non-Cochrane reviews and their protocols recorded in PROSPERO are widespread, and there have been many changes having an unclear impact on the quality of reviews. Guiding the author to report and explain the differences between protocol and reviews or even requiring authors to so at the level of journal are two fundamental solutions to further improve the transparency of the non-Cochrane reviews.

“…However, conservative treatment requires a long period of absolute bed rest, which often affects the normal life and work of soldiers. Consequently, the concept of minimally invasive treatment is put forward and widely adopted due to its convenience and accurate effect [ 68 ].…”

Military drill injury is a significant part of military medical research. The increase of training intensity and changes in training methods lead to differences in injury types. The ideal therapeutic modality should allow rapid healing at a reasonable cost and minimize impact on patients’ life. Platelet -rich plasma (PRP), a platelet concentrate, is rich in a variety of growth factors and widely used clinically as a minimally invasive treatment. It plays an important role in injury repair and rehabilitation. In this article, we review the therapeutic role of PRP in military drill injury and its possible underlying mechanisms, with a focus on plantar fasciitis, stress fractures and other common injuries, in order to provide basic support for military reserve.
