Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Beneficial And Low Cost Treatment For Back Pain

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Beneficial And Low Cost Treatment For Back Pain
An article published in this week’s issue of The Lancet reports that group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can reduce low-back pain at a low cost to the health-care provider. Furthermore, one year after the start of treatment, the improvement was sustained.

Because it is so widespread, back pain is also costly to treat… (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

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…

Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain

Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
Conclusions. Topical NSAIDs may vary significantly in their absorption kinetics and pharmacodynamic effects, based on NSAID molecule and the formulation chosen. Some topical NSAID formulations have been shown to be more effective than placebo in multiple studies, or to have comparable efficacy and a better safety profile than oral NSAIDs for single joint osteoarthritis and acute muscle injuries. In acute and chronic low back pain, widespread musculoskeletal pain, and in peripheral neuropathic pain syndromes, the current evidence does not support the use of topical NSAIDs.

Acupuncture in Primary Care

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

Capitalising on effective treatment strategies for low back pain – How do we bridge the self-management gap?

Capitalising on effective treatment strategies for low back pain – How do we bridge the self-management gap?
Epidemiological evidence confirms that low back pain has a tendency to recur. Over the last decade, insights have increased significantly into diagnostic approaches and the development of effective treatment packages which are often multi-modal in nature. There has been a move into a bio-psychosocial philosophical approach to care, although, contrary to this integrated philosophy there are Instances where some clinicians take a completely hands-off approach to care, whilst others simply ignore the psychosocial dimension. Patients of course are not really in a position of awareness or knowledge to be able to comment or express their views and needs in relation to treatment and therefore, to a large extent, this polarity may go un-noticed.

Upper Back Pain - What Causes it and How to Relieve It

At first, it may be easy to dismiss the pain as just a minor sprain or even chalk it up to sleeping in the wrong position. As days pass, however, and the aches and tenderness don’t go away, it can become a true source of extreme discomfort for those suffering back pain.
