Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia01:11

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia

Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...
Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...
Muscles of the Vertebral Column01:27

Muscles of the Vertebral Column

The back muscles that lie deep into the thoracolumbar fascia are called intrinsic or true back muscles. These muscles are divided into four layers: superficial, intermediate, deep, and deepest layers.
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome is...

Summary

Combined chiropractic interventions show slight short-term improvements in pain and disability for acute and subacute low-back pain (LBP). However, evidence does not yet confirm a clinically meaningful difference compared to other treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Evidence-based medicine
  • Pain management

Background:

  • Chiropractors frequently employ multifaceted treatment approaches for individuals experiencing low-back pain (LBP).
  • The efficacy of these combined interventions, beyond spinal manipulation alone, requires thorough investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of combined chiropractic interventions on pain, disability, function, and patient satisfaction in adults with LBP.
  • To synthesize evidence from randomized trials comparing combined chiropractic therapies to other treatments or no treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials were conducted.
  • Searches included major databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, MANTIS) up to May 2009.
  • Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed by at least two authors.

Main Results:

  • Twelve studies with 2887 participants were included; only three had a low risk of bias.
  • Combined chiropractic interventions showed slight short-term improvements in pain and disability for acute/subacute LBP compared to other treatments.
  • No significant differences were found for long-term outcomes, chronic LBP, or overall improvement.

Conclusions:

  • Combined chiropractic interventions offer marginal short-term benefits for pain and disability in acute and subacute LBP.
  • Current evidence is insufficient to establish clinical meaningfulness compared to alternative interventions.
  • Future research is anticipated to refine understanding and confidence in these findings.
