Kosaku Aoyagi, PT, Ph.D. (right), assistant professor of physical therapy and movement sciences at The University of Texas at El Paso, is leading research into a new approach to relieving knee pain. In collaboration with Harvard Medical School and Boston University, his team conducted a pilot trial testing a novel method for treating osteoarthritis-related knee pain by stimulating the vagus nerve via the ear. The results appear in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open.

Ear Stimulation Shows Promise for Knee Pain Relief

FAST & ACCURATE: Predicted motions of hundreds of particles inside a fusion reactor show that a new computational method (orange, red) closely matches the results of traditional Newtonian calculations (blue, green)—but with a speed boost of 10x. (Image credit: University of Texas at Austin)

Zahra Fatahimeiabadi, a graduate student in the lab of Sudip Bajpeyi, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at El Paso (not pictured), demonstrates a resistance workout while using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Bajpeyi leads a team of researchers whose new meta-analysis study, published this month in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, found that combining NMES with resistance training leads to greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.

Adding Electrical Stimulation to Workouts Boosts Muscle Gains, Study Shows

The team analyzed genetic material from microbes in a one-of-a-kind archive of water samples collected over 20 years from Lake Mendota in Wisconsin.
