    Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 2026
    Background De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is characterized by thickening and swelling of the extensor retinaculum. The most reported symptoms are pain, swelling, and discomfort over the radial styloid.Objective To determine the short-term effects of oscillatory Mobilization and Mobilization with movement on pain, Range of Motion and Disability among De-Quervain’s tenosynovitis.Methods This single-blinded randomized clinical trial with parallel assignment was conducted at Arif Memorial Teaching Hospital on 28 patients from August 2023 to October 2023. The subjects were allocated to groups A and B, with 14 patients in each group. Group A received mobilization with movement, and Group B received oscillatory mobilization for two weeks with three sessions per week. Data were taken of each patient before and after treatment through a numeric pain rating scale for pain, a goniometer for a range of motion, and patient-related wrist evaluation for Disability. The data were analyzed using SPSS V. 22, and appropriate statistical tests were used based on data distribution and taking p < 0.05 as significant.Results The study comprised 28(100%) participants, with 14 (50%) in each group. There were 08 males (57.1%) and 6 (42.9%) female participants in group A, whereas there were seven male (50.0%) and 7 (50.0%) female participants in group B. The mean age of patients in group A was 32.857 ± 5.815, and in group B was 31.642 ± 5.838. The pain pretreatment in Group A was 8.28 ± 1.49, while in Group B was 8.50 ± 1.22, whereas the post-treatment in Group A was 3.50 ± 0.94 while in Group B was 4.28 ± 1.14. The paired t-test showed a significant difference between the pre-and post-treatment pain scores, disability index, and range of motion with a p-value < 0.05. The Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation score value at pretreatment in Group A was 78.71 ± 4.16; in Group B, it was 76.86 ± 3.09, whereas the post-treatment in Group A was 33.39 ± 5.48, while in Group B was 38.96 ± 3.66. The independent t-test showed a significant difference between both groups for pain disability index and range of motion with a p-value < 0.05.Conclusion The study concluded that both treatments have short-term effects, but Mobilization with movement was more effective than Oscillatory movements for pain, ROM, and Disability in patients with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.Clinical trial registry IRCT20220604055072N2.

    Eisha Faisal, Seerat Akhtar, Kashaf Javed, Qandeel Yousaf, Tahir Mahmood, et al.
    Khyber Medical University Journal, 2025
    Objectives: To determine the association between smartphone usage and its effects on craniovertebral angle (CVA) and pulmonary functions in the general population. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at Imran Idrees Hospital, Sialkot, from January to May 2023. A total of 217 participants aged 18–30 years, using smartphones for over 3 hours daily, were selected through simple random sampling. Smartphone addiction was assessed using the validated Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version (SAS-SV). Forward head posture (FHP) was evaluated by measuring the craniovertebral angle (CVA), with values ≤53° considered abnormal. Pulmonary functions, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC ratio, were measured using a spirometer. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, applying chi-square and Friedman tests with a significance level of p ≤0.05. Results: Among 217 participants (69.1% females, mean age 25±3.34 years), 62.3% used smartphones for 4-8 hours/day and 149 (68.6%) were categorized as smartphone addicted. A significant association was found between smartphone addiction and FHP (CVA ≤53°) (p &lt;0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in pulmonary function parameters between addicted and non-addicted participants: FVC (p = 0.230), FEV1 (p = 0.470), and FEV1/FVC (p =0.040). Conclusion: Smartphone addiction is prevalent among young adults and is significantly associated with altered cervical posture, particularly forward head posture. However, no significant impact was found on pulmonary function. These findings highlight the musculoskeletal risks of excessive smartphone use and highlight the importance of ergonomic awareness and preventive strategies in youth.
  • Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in the identification of pain
    Aleena Waheed, Tahir Mahmood
    Anaesthesia Pain and Intensive Care, 2025
    Pain is a crucial health concern that needs an accurate diagnosis, deeper understanding, treatment, and follow-up depending on the pain identification process.1 Although determining the right therapy requires a thorough assessment of pain, the self-reported pain level assessment has several drawbacks.2 As the pain is subjective and people’s experiences of pain may vary, it can be difficult sometimes to determine the underlying biopsychosocial components. This can lead to a lack of diagnosis of the exact cause of pain and its etiological factors.3 This editorial outlines the importance of integrating AI into pain identification to enhance the quality parameter of assessment in research and clinical practice.

    Tahir Mahmood, Waqar Afzal, Wajeeha Mahmood, Umer Maqsood, Alberto Sumiya
    Revista Brasileira De Medicina do Trabalho, 2025
    Musculoskeletal disorders are common among physical therapists because of constant physical work and mechanical stress during interventions. The aim is to synthesize the information of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among physical therapists. A systematic review of observational studies was conducted on PubMed and Google Academics, considering for searching the period of 2015 and 2021. The methodological quality of the studies included were appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. The average percentages were calculated by adding the percentages of individual studies for each region and divided by the total number of studies. A total of 74 articles was screened, and 20 of which were assessed. In general, the frequency of work-related musculoskeletal disorders was high (75.27%), with low back pain (54.97%) in first, followed by neck pain (36.16%), upper back pain (30.18%), shoulder (25.52%), hand/wrist (20.92%; 28.32%) and knees (19.08%). It was concluded that physical therapists have high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, in which low back, neck, shoulder pain and knees were the most reported body regions.

    BMC Sports Science Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2024
    Background Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common condition affecting the masticatory muscles and joint mobility. Objectives The primary objective was to compare the effects of massage therapy alone and massage therapy combined with post-isometric relaxation exercises in patients with TMD for pain and maximal mouth opening. Design Assessor-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Chaudhry Muhammad Akram Dental Hospital, Lahore Medical and Dental Hospital. Subjects Temporomandibular joint disorder patients. Intervention Group A (n = 23) received conventional treatment including massage and therapeutic exercises consecutively for 2 weeks. Group B (n = 23) received post-isometric relaxation technique along with conventional treatment for consecutive 2 weeks. Main measures The main outcome measures were pain and maximal mouth opening. Pain was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and maximal mouth opening (MMO) was measured using the TheraBite Scale. Results Both groups demonstrated significant improvements in pain and MMO scores post-treatment. However, Group B (massage with post-isometric relaxation exercises) showed significantly better outcomes compared to Group A (massage alone). There was a statistically significant difference in post-treatment pain scores (P = 0.000) and MMO scores (P = 0.000) between the two groups. Conclusion The results suggest that massage therapy combined with post-isometric relaxation is more effective than massage therapy alone in managing pain and improving mouth opening in TMD patients. The study provides evidence supporting the use of these therapies in TMD management. Trial registry number NCT05810831. Date of registration/First submission: 15 March 2023.

  • Managing barriers to resource allocation for the rehabilitation services in Pakistan: a review article
    Aleena Waheed, Saleh Shah, Tahir Mahmood
    Anaesthesia Pain and Intensive Care, 2024
    The rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy is an essential part of the healthcare system, which is required to enhance patients' quality of life. These services need a streamlined support system, which is required from the funding sources that significantly impact the efficacy. The accessibility, affordability, and quality of healthcare services are significantly influenced by healthcare finance and its utilization, which involves revenue generation and reimbursement processes to budgetary supervision and allocation of resources. Effective resource allocation is made possible by sound financial management, which minimizes undue usage and maximizes the use of existing resources in underfunded healthcare systems like Pakistan, where there is a greater need for funds for rehabilitation. Despite their value in the budget, rehabilitation services frequently receive a smaller portion of the healthcare budget.There is a need to focus on several funding sources, such as commercial insurance plans, public sector grants, out-of-pocket costs for patients and families, and the functions of foreign aid and charitable donations. The possible ways can be increasing insurance coverage for rehabilitation services, increasing public sector investment and encouraging increased cooperation between public and private sector parties. Ultimately, the healthcare system and the rehabilitative services can be improved for future prevention of disability and evidence-based health policies that maximize available resources and high-quality healthcare.This review offers a thorough analysis of and describes the current state of rehabilitation financing in Pakistan. In addition, it also provides considerable evaluation of barriers and suggested solutions in managing the finances required for running a viable rehabilitation system.Keywords: Budgets; Funds; Funding Resources; Finance; Healthcare System; Hospitals; Patients; RehabilitationCitation: Waheed A, Shah S, Mahmood T.

    Anaesthesia Pain and Intensive Care, 2024
    Background &amp; objective: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder in the general population. The most common etiological factors are overuse syndromes, postural issues, and bad working environment. The conservative management using physical agents can be more satisfactory and beneficial before the interventional techniques. We aimed to compare manual myofascial release and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques for improving pain, lumber mobility, and functional index in patients with chronic LBP. Methodology: This non-randomized trial was conducted on 40 chronic low back pain patients and data was collected from Chaudhry Akram Research and Teaching Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. We included patients with LBP for more than 3 months, ages 22-45 y. Group A received manual myofascial release (MFR), and Group B received instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). The outcomes assessed were pain, low back functional index, and lumber range of motion. The data was analyzed using SPSS V.23. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used for within group comparison. While an Independent sample t-test was applied for inter-group comparison at a significance level of P &lt; 0.05. Results: There were 26 males and 14 females in the study. The study comprised of 20 participants in each group with mean ages of 33.17 ± 7.46 and 33.45 ± 7.63 y respectively. The results showed that pain improvement was more in group B compared to group A. While the disability and range of motion, including flexion, extension, and lumber right-side flexion, showed a statistically significant improvement (P &lt; 0.05). Mean difference was 1.75 for pain, 8.65 for disability index and -5.15 for lumber flexion, -1.25 for extension, and 1.30 for right side flexion, but no statistical differences (P &gt; 0.05) were found for left lumber flexion (P &gt; 0.05) in both groups. Conclusion: The results of our study show that chronic low back pain can be managed by myofascial release techniques but better effects can be achieved using instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique.

    Muhammad Waqar Afzal*, Ashfaq Ahmad, Syed Amir Gilani, Nimra Zulfaqar, Sahar Fatima, Tahir Mahmmod
    Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2024
    BACKGROUND: Translation and validation of important scales in other languages reduce bias in reporting the functional status of the patient. OBJECTIVE: To translate the Back Pain Functional Scale into Urdu (BPFSu), adapt it for use in other cultures, and evaluate its psychometric properties. METHOD: According to Beaton guidelines, translation and cultural adaption was carried out. On 100 Urdu-literate men and women aged 18–60 years with lower back pain, the final BPFSu was assessed for psychometric qualities. First at baseline and again after 7 days, participants completed the BPFSu, the Functional Rating Index (FRI), and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). RESULTS: Internal consistency of the BPFSu was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.937). No floor and ceiling effects were found Excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.882, CI 95%; 0.830–0.919) was achieved. Spearman correlation coefficient showed criterion validity with the NPRS (rho =â⁢ˆ⁢’0.701, p⩽ 0.001) and Pearson correlation coefficient showed construct validity with the FRI (r=â⁢ˆ⁢’0.740, p⩽ 0.001). The minimum detectable changes were 9.96, while the standard error of measurement was 3.6. CONCLUSION: The BPFSu is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing physical function in individuals experiencing low back discomfort.
