CBT sessions ‘help’ back pain

CBT sessions ‘help’ back pain
Conclusion This well conducted randomised controlled trial found that group CBT was of benefit to people with chronic lower back pain compared with individuals who received one-off advice on how to manage their condition through activity modifications and symptom control. Although the therapy was effective, the researchers noted that 63% of people attended ‘sufficient’ CBT sessions to potentially benefit and 11% did not attend any of the sessions. Further research would be required to find out how to increase the numbers who attended the sessions. People who received CBT were also unlikely to have been using this intervention in isolation to manage their back pain, as advice was given to them about modifying their activities and pain medications. It should also be noted that this manag…

When practiced by a certified provider, it is safe and patients often find it calming and relaxing. Animal and human studies have found a physiologic basis for acupuncture needling in that it affects the complex central and peripheral neurohormonal network. Although it is unclear whether acupuncture is beneficial over sham/placebo acupuncture, acupuncture care yields clinically relevant short- and long-term benefits for low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, chronic neck pain, and headache. The integration of acupuncture into a primary care setting also appears to be cost-effective. The practice of acupuncture in primary care requires rigorous training, financial discipline, and good communication sk… br

Meeting the ranging of informational needs of chronic low back pain sufferers: Conceptual design and rationale of the interactive website ONESELF.
Conclusion. Online interactional tools such as ONESELF are a promising source of health communication, provided that the content manager of the website and the health professionals collaborate in a rigorously structured manner. ONESELF can benefit traditional medical consultations in helping screen requests from patients that do not need to see a doctor, and in acting as a repository of background information that saves consultation time for more urgent matters.

The role of kyphoplasty in the management of osteogenesis imperfecta: risk or benefit?

The role of kyphoplasty in the management of osteogenesis imperfecta: risk or benefit?
We report on a 58-year-old patient with type I OI and a vertebral compression fracture at L2 with undislocated posterior vertebral wall and an additional older L1 fracture. Because of severe back pain resistant to conservative therapy over 5 months the indication for percutaneous kyphoplasty was made. Preoperative adjacent endplates of L2 were nearly parallel. Radiologically a minimal loss of height of the L2 vertebra was seen without adjacent fractures at 9 months follow-up. A slight increase of the preoperative kyphotic angle of overlying vertebrae L1 (8.7°/10.3°) and T12 (10.4°/11.0°) was apparent. The visual analogue scale showed decrease of low back pain from 10 to 2 allowing mobilization with a walking frame. Kyphoplasty constitutes a minimal invasive therapeutic …

Abundance of MRI scanners correlates to inappropriate use for low back pain care

Abundance of MRI scanners correlates to inappropriate use for low back pain care
Patients with low back pain who live in areas with many MRI machines are more likely to get scanned and undergo surgery than those in low-availability areas, according to a study looking at Medicare claims data. Patients with low back pain, however, rarely benefit from MRI scans or surgery, so the procedures are often unnecessary. (Source: Diagnostic Imaging)
