More high-quality studies are needed to make recommendations.
 There is moderate evidence to recommend neural mobilization and myofascial release after lumbar fusion, but inconclusive evidence to recommend for or against most manual therapies after most surgical interventions. The literature is primarily limited to low-level studies. More high-quality studies are needed to make recommendations.
  It is not surprising in developing countries with psychological, familial and community pressure to produce child, infertile women, in addition to conventional medicine, seek various traditional methods and religious practices.This study was conducted in Sudan to explore the perspectives of currently married infertile Sudanese women on complementary medicine seeking behaviour with more emphasis on traditional self-management strategies.
 
  A cross-sectional survey involving 203 infertile women was conducted. Collection of data was performed by means of a specifically designed questionnaire using a convenient sampling method at the women's visits of infertility treatment clinics in Khartoum, Sudan.
 
  Findings of the study revealed that 43.3% of participated women had rich experience with infertility self-management strategies, and 65.0% of them used these strategies to treat infertility. Also 59.1% of the participants mentioned unaffordability of modern treatment as a main factor for trying self-management strategies.
 
  The study revealed women's rich experience and wide use of different types of self-management strategies together with formal infertility health care services either simultaneously or subsequently. Also, unaffordability of formal treatment services was reported as one of the most encouraging factors towards seeking traditional treatment options.

  To assess the efficacy and safety of retention enema with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for ulcerative colitis (UC) through a meta-analysis of published studies.
 
  Literatures were retrieved from five electronic databases. Quality evaluation and meta-analysis were respectively conducted using the Cochrane collaboration and RevMan5.3. Overall quality of evidence was evaluated using GRADE system. Effect sizes were pooled using random effect models.
 
  Seventeen RCTs were included. Compared with routine pharmacotherapies (RPs), TCM enema exhibited a statistically significant difference in clinical efficacy and reduction of the recurrence rate. The results of qualitative description for other endpoints, such as improvements in anabrosis, ulcer, diarrhea, and hematochezia, suggested that TCM enema had better efficacy than RPs. Furthermore, the incidence of side effects in TCM was lower than that in RPs.
 
  This meta-analysis confirmed the efficacy and safety of TCM enema for improving UC symptoms. However, further well-designed researches are needed.

  In recent years, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have experienced exponential growth in terms of development, application, and research. However, few studies have examined implementation and efficacy of these interventions in particular populations, such as military Veterans. Such studies are needed as one cannot assume that the literature on MBIs implemented with the general population or other specific populations apply equally well to Veterans. This population is unique regarding professional competencies, military ethos, high degrees of medical comorbidities and barriers to treatment. The aim of this work was to review and summarize the literature over the previous five years (2014-2020) assessing the use of MBIs among military Veterans to guide clinical care and future research.
 
  Systematic literature review.
 
  A total of 88 articles were found. Screening titles and abstracts resulted in 49 articles being excluded. The remaining 39 articles were read in full, and of these, 12 were excluded due the literature that must be addressed to move the field forward. The main deficiency is, with a few exceptions, the lack of rigorous RCTs. Another major concern is the lack of generalizability to female and non-white Veterans given that the subject samples across all studies reviewed were 85% male and 76% white. At this time, MBSR, PCBMT and MBCT can be recommended as adjunctive complementary interventions for the reduction of PTSD symptoms. Research recommendations to move the field forward are provided.
  The investigation of this study was to compare the effect of adding motor imagery training to neck stabilization exercises on pain, disability, and kinesiophobia in patients with chronic neck pain.
 
  After screening, seventy-two volunteers with chronic neck pain were randomly allocated to 3 groups neck stabilization exercises alone, n=24, combined ( neck stabilization exercises+motor imagery training), n=24, and a control group, n=24.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mrtx0902.html  Pain intensity, disability, and kinesiophobia before and after the intervention exercises were measured by the Visual Analog Scale, Neck Disability Index, and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia , respectively.
 
  Statistically significant differences in pain intensity, the neck disability index, and kinesiophobia were found when a combined intervention group including neck stabilization and motor imagery training was compared with neck stabilization training alone at 6 weeks ) p≤0.005). Also, there were significant between-group differences favoring experimental groups versus control for all outcomes (p≤0.001).
 
  neck stabilization exercises in combination with motor imagery training was superior to neck stabilization exercises alone in decreasing pain, disability, and kinesiophobia in patients with chronic neck pain.
