The structures involved in TOS include the clavicle, first rib, and scalene muscles. TOS occurs in three spaces: the intercostal-scalene triangle, costoclavicular space, and coracopectoral space [2]. Peer et al. first proposed the term TOS in 1956 to summarize symptoms caused by compression of the neurovascular bundle [3], and the disease was termed "TOS" by Rob and Standeven in 1958 [4]. TOS occurs more frequently in women than in men and develops in patients in their third or fifth decades of life [5]. TOS is usually classified into neurogenic, arterial, and venous TOS [6]. Common causes of TOS are congenital, acquired, or traumatic. It can be further divided into arterial vascular, venous vascular, true neurologic, traumatic neurovascular, and disputed types [7].

It is characterized by impairment in motor function and coordination and difficulties in performing daily life activities. Previous research supports that neurologic music therapy (NMT) was effective in improving motor function, cognition, and emotional wellbeing in patients with various neurologic disorders. However, the benefit of NMT in patients with CP have not yet been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this review was to investigate the potential effect of NMT motor rehabilitation techniques for patients.Materials and methodsWe searched articles published up to May 24, 2022 in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library, Web of science, and Ovid MEDLINEdatabases. We included studies that investigated the effect of NMT in patients with CP.ResultsAfter search, 4,117 articles were identified using the search terms. After reading the titles and abstracts, 4,089 articles that did not meet our in...

It has allowed visualization and estimation of neural tract injury, which may be associated with the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain (NP). The aim of the present study was to review DTT studies that demonstrated the relationship between neural injuries and NP and to describe the potential use of DTT in the evaluation of neural injuries that are involved in the pathophysiological process of NP. A PubMed search was conducted for articles published until July 3, 2020, which used DTT to investigate the association between neural injuries and NP. The key search phrase for identifying potentially relevant articles was (diffusion tensor tractography AND pain). The following inclusion criteria were applied for article selection: (1) studies involving patients with NP and (2) studies in which DTT was applied for the evaluation of NP. Review articles were excluded. Altogether, 108 potentially relevant articles were...

Considering its detrimental effects on brain function, diabetes may increase the risk of poor recovery. The aim of this review was to investigate the effects of diabetes on post-stroke recovery.
