Effectiveness of manual therapies: the UK evidence report
Conclusions: Spinal manipulation/mobilization is effective in adults for: acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain; migraine and cervicogenic headache; cervicogenic dizziness; manipulation/mobilization is effective for several extremity joint conditions; and thoracic manipulation/mobilization is effective for acute/subacute neck pain. The evidence is inconclusive for cervical manipulation/mobilization alone for neck pain of any duration, and for manipulation/mobilization for mid back pain, sciatica, tension-type headache, coccydynia, temporomandibular joint disorders, fibromyalgia, premenstrual syndrome, and pneumonia in older adults. Spinal manipulation is not effective for asthma and dysmenorrhea when compared to sham manipulation, or for Stage 1 hypertension when added to an antihyper…

At the end of the selection process, 18 studies were included. Strong evidence was found to support the effectiveness of physical exercise in controlling neck pain among workers who performed sedentary tasks in offices or administrative environments, while moderate evidence was found for low back pain relief among healthcare and industrial workers who performed heavy physical tasks. These positive results were reported when the training periods were longer than 10 weeks, the exercises were performed against some type of resistance and the sessions were supervised. None of the studies evaluating sedentary workers reported positive results for controlling musculoskeletal shoulder pain. Further randomi… br

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.

Cost effectiveness of two rehabilitation programmes for neck and back pain patients: A seven year follow-up. Jensen IB, Busch H, Bodin L, Hagberg J, Nygren A, Bergström G. Pain 2009;142(3): 202–8
The cost effectiveness of work-oriented rehabilitation for persons on long-term sick leave needs to be assessed. This prospective observational study presents a follow-up seven years after rehabilitation using two different evidence-based work-oriented regimens. Individuals on sick leave for neck and back pain were referred to two rehabilitation programmes in Sweden. The first programme was a relatively low-intensity programme based on orthopaedic manual therapy and exercise programme (OMTP). The second programme was a full-time multidisciplinary programme (MDP). The primary outcome was sickness absence seven years after intervention. Cost effectiveness was calculated on the basis of loss of production due to sickness absence. The results show that participants referred to MDP and with les…

Doctors seek primary source of mystery cancers
Charity tries to save the 10,000 patients a year whose carcinomas are of unknown originJo Symons was 46 when her cancer was diagnosed. Medical scans showed that her back pain, coughing and a lump in her neck were caused by tumours that had spread to her chest, lymph nodes and other parts of her body.The primary cancer that caused these tumours, however, was never traced. Like 10,000 other individuals diagnosed in Britain each year with carcinomas of unknown primary, or CUP, the original source of her condition could not be pinpointed. As a result, doctors could not direct their treatments precisely. Despite their efforts, she died eight months later, in September 2006.But now British scientists are to launch a project aimed at tackling this problem by developing techniques for pinpointing …
