Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction01:27

Degenerative Disc Disease I: Introduction

Degenerative disc disease is a chronic condition in which intervertebral discs gradually lose structure and function. It is not infectious or autoimmune; rather, it results from age-related biochemical and mechanical changes, influenced by genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors.Structure and Function of DiscsThe spine contains 23 intervertebral discs that absorb load, distribute forces, maintain spacing, and allow flexibility. Each disc consists of a nucleus pulposus, a gel-like core...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...
Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
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...

Area of Science:

  • Chiropractic research
  • Musculoskeletal medicine
  • Diagnostic systems

Background:

  • Clinicians acknowledge that musculoskeletal low back pain (LBP) originates from specific tissues.
  • Identifying the precise source of LBP remains a clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a diagnostic classification system for low back pain.
  • To create an efficient in-office examination and checklist tool for LBP diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • A diagnostic classification system was developed by doctors of chiropractic.
  • The system is supported by diagnostic utility studies and evidence strength.
  • It incorporates an in-office exam and checklist for efficiency.

Main Results:

  • The diagnostic classification system includes a screening category, nociceptive and neuropathic pain categories, a functional evaluation category, and an unknown/poorly defined diagnosis category.
  • Nociceptive and neuropathic pain categories are further divided into four subcategories each.

Conclusions:

  • This article details the evidence supporting diagnostic categories for an in-office LBP diagnostic tool.
  • Standardized tools for diagnosing low back pain in clinical and research settings are recommended.
