OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to detect sonographic predictors for the efficacy of massage treatment of masseter and temporal muscle in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients with myofascial pain.
Recent reports of multivariate machine learning (ML) techniques have highlighted their potential use to detect prognostic and diagnostic markers of pain. However, applications to date have focussed on acute experimental nociceptive stimuli rather tha...
Pain is a complex, multidimensional experience involving significant challenges in both diagnosis and management. While acute pain serves as a critical warning mechanism, chronic pain encompasses intricate biological, psychological, and social compon...

As machine learning increasingly plays a crucial role in various medical applications, the need for improved explainability of these complex, often opaque models becomes more urgent. Influence functions have emerged as a critical method for explainin...
BACKGROUND: Evidence for the routine use of robotic technology and its impact on short-term outcomes in colon cancer surgery is lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the surgically induced systemic stress response and clinical and patient-rep...

CONTEXT: Over 20% of US adults report they experience pain on most days or every day. Uncontrolled pain has led to increased healthcare utilization, hospitalization, emergency visits, and financial burden. Recognizing, assessing, understanding, and t...
BACKGROUND: This study was performed to update the current evidence and evaluate the effects of robot-assisted rehabilitation (RAR) in comparison with conventional rehabilitation (CR) in patients following total knee (TKR) or hip replacements (THR).
