    PurposeThis study aimed to compare the effects of basic body awareness therapy (BBAT) and conventional treatments (CT) on balance in patients with chronic neck pain.MethodsThirty-five patients with neck pain participated in this randomised two-period crossover trial. Patients were divided into A (BBAT/CT) (n = 17) and B (CT/BBAT) (n = 18) groups. Group A received BBAT twice a week for 6 weeks, whereas Group B received CT within the same parameters. After a 5-week washout period, the treatments received by the groups were changed. The primary outcome was balance, assessed via the sensory organisation test (SOT) using the computerised dynamic posturography device. The secondary outcome was pain assessed by the visual analogue scale. Assessments were performed before and after primary and secondary treatments.ResultsIn Group A, the SOT conditions 4, 5, 6; composites score; and visual and vestibular system scores increased after BBAT; however, only condition five scores and vestibular system scores increased (p < .05) in Group B, which started with CT. Within the groups, both treatments were effective for easing pain (p < .05).ConclusionsAlthough patients who started the therapy with BBAT showed more improvement in balance, no differences were observed between the therapies.

    Otoacoustic emission measurements: a test-retest reliability study
    (Springer, 2023) Yagcioglu, Aysenur Aykul; Ozturk, Burak
    ObjectivesOtoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are an important part of the audiological test battery and have many clinical uses. This study aims to determine the amplitude changes in the test-retest condition of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), which are widely used in clinical settings.DesignDPOAE and TEOAE measurements were taken in 110 ears of 55 adults aged 18-35 years with normal hearing during three sessions. The repeatability of the measurements was evaluated by very short-term measurements taken 20 min after the first measurement and by short-term measurements taken 20 days after the first measurement.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the three measurements in which DPOAE and TEOAE amplitudes were evaluated. The weakest reliability for TEOAEs was determined at frequencies of 1.0 kHz and 1.5 kHz, and the weakest reliability for DPOAEs was determined at 6728 Hz.ConclusionsThe current findings indicate that DPOAE and TEOAE measurements are reliable for monitoring cochlear function over time. The data obtained from this study could help clinicians correctly interpret OAE changes and distinguish between physiological and pathological changes.
