BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia (FM) frequently termed as fibrositis is a discomforting rheumatic syndrome which is associated with spasm, localize and palpable tenderness, chronic fatigue, headache, depression and bowel symptoms. The use of electro physical agents in order to treat FM is still a growing concern. A systematic review was executed to appraise the use of different electro physical agents in FM. METHODS Seventy three articles were reviewed including RCTS, Clinical trials and Experimental studies, highlighting the use of electro physical agents and comparing them with each other. CONCLUSION Fibromyalgia is a syndrome is challenging to comprehend and treat effectively. Patients are looking for substitution therapies due to ineffectiveness and dissatisfaction to the conventional and therapies in trend. Although many results have been found in favor of using different modalities related to physical therapy treatment for FM still specific use of modalities like TENS, biofeedback, magneto and electromagnetic therapies is still a question. Treatment should be given according to the need of patient, targeted symptoms and functional impairments. KEY WORDS Fibromyalgia, TENS, IFC, Heat, Cold, Laser, Ultrasound

Background: The aim of this study was to review available evidence for physical therapy treatment (PTT) after single-event multilevel surgery (SEMLS), and to realize a first step towards an accurate and clinical guideline for developing effective PTT for children with cerebral palsy (CP) after SEMLS. Methods: A qualitative systematic review (PubMed, Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library) investigating a program of PTT after SEMLS in children aged 4–18 years with CP classified by Gross Motor Function Classification System level I–III. Results: Six articles meeting the inclusion criteria were selected. The selected studies provide only incomplete descriptions of interventions, and show no consensus regarding PTT after SEMLS. Neither do they show any consensus on the outcome measures or measuring instruments. Conclusions: Based on the results of this literature review in combination with our best practice, we propose a preliminary protocol of PTT after SEMLS.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence affects more than 50 million people worldwide, it has a great impact on quality of life by affecting social, domestic, occupational and sex life, regardless of age. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of physical therapy treatment in women attending the Urogynecology service of Hospital and Maternity Leonor Mendes de Barros. METHOD: We retrospectively assessed 65 records of patients with diagnosis of urinary incontinence treated between November 2005 and November 2006. In order to have their data analyzed, patients were divided into two groups; group MF, which underwent medical treatment and physiotherapy, and group M, which had only medical treatment. In order to compare both groups' quantitative data, the analysis was performed in Statistica® software using Mann Whitney's non-parametric test. The analysis of association between the quantitative variables was performed through the Chi-Square test at 5% (p > 0.05) significance level. RESULTS: We observed that 60.6% of patients who underwent physical therapy treatment and medical treatment had the urinary incontinence symptoms decreased or completely cured, while 80% of women belonging to the medical treatmen only-group underwent surgery. CONCLUSION: Thus, we conclude that physical therapy is essential in treatment protocols of urinary incontinence outpatient clinics and to prevent surgery.
