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.

EditorialPatients as Partners in Research: A Practical Example of How Researchers Are Contributing to the Patient-Partnership Revolution.
Every musculoskeletal pain condition and rehabilitation experience is different. That is why listening to, and truly collaborating with, people who experience pain is imperative in research and, ultimately, clinical management of musculoskeletal pain. ⋯ They aim to encourage researchers to foster patient partnership in musculoskeletal research and share with potential patient partners how patients were engaged in their research. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(7):347-349. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.0105.

Patient Education for Patellofemoral Pain: A Systematic Review.
To evaluate the effect of education interventions compared with any type of comparator on managing patellofemoral pain (PFP). ⋯ Health professional-delivered education may produce similar outcomes in pain and function compared to exercise therapy plus health professional-delivered education in people with PFP. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(7):388-396. Epub 29 Apr 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.9400.
