Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of Cervical Spine High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Thrust Added to Behavioral Education, Soft Tissue Mobilization, and Exercise for People With Temporomandibular Disorder With Myalgia: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
To determine the immediate and short-term effects of adding cervical spine high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust (HVLAT) to behavioral education, soft tissue mobilization, and a home exercise program on pain and dysfunction for people with a primary complaint of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) with myalgia. ⋯ Both groups improved over time; however, differences between groups were small. There were significant differences between groups for the JFLS, TSK-TMD, and GROC. The additive clinical effect of cervical HVLAT to standard care remains unclear for treating TMD.

Case ReportsDesmoid Tumor Causing Shoulder Pain in an Adolescent Male.
A 17-year-old adolescent boy was referred by an orthopaedic physician to physical therapy for chronic left shoulder pain and a clinical diagnosis of labral tear. The physician ordered current radiographs, which were noncontributory. ⋯ The patient was referred to orthopaedic oncology, where biopsy confirmed a desmoid tumor.

Meta AnalysisWhich Interventions Enhance Pain Self-efficacy in People With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain? A Systematic Review With Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials, Including Over 12 000 Participants.
To find out which interventions enhance pain self-efficacy in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and to evaluate the reporting of interventions designed to enhance pain self-efficacy. ⋯ There was low-quality evidence of a small effect of multicomponent exercise and psychological interventions improving pain self-efficacy in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(8):418-430. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9319.
