Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

13.1K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Analgesia and Pain Management

1.3K
Pain is critical to various clinical pathologies, provoking an urgent need for effective management. Pain, whether acute or chronic, is a complex neurochemical process. Its alleviation depends on the type, with nonopioid analgesics effective for mild to moderate pain, such as musculoskeletal or inflammatory pain, while neuropathic pain responds best to anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, or serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. For severe acute or chronic pain, opioids may be...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Neck pain often persists and fluctuates, similar to low back pain patterns. Persistent fluctuating pain is linked to greater functional limitations and psychosocial distress in chiropractic patients.

Area of Science:

  • Chiropractic care
  • Pain management
  • Musculoskeletal health

Background:

  • Neck and low back pain are dynamic conditions with fluctuating intensity.
  • Previous studies defined pain trajectories for low back pain.
  • Understanding pain patterns is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if low back pain trajectory patterns apply to neck pain patients.
  • To assess the robustness of these defined pain patterns.
  • To identify differences in characteristics and clinical findings among various pain patterns.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective cohort study of 1208 neck pain patients in chiropractic practice.
  • Weekly SMS surveys over 43 weeks tracked pain intensity and frequency.
  • Patients were categorized into 16 trajectory subgroups based on pain duration and intensity.

Main Results:

  • Nearly all patients (94%) fit into Persistent fluctuating or Episodic patterns.
  • The largest subgroups were "Mild Persistent fluctuating" (25%) and "Moderate Episodic" (24%).
  • Persistent fluctuating pain was associated with reduced function and higher psychosocial burden.

Conclusions:

  • Defined low back pain trajectories are applicable to neck pain patients.
  • Pain often persists and varies in intensity or occurs episodically.
  • A Persistent fluctuating pain pattern indicates a greater impact on patient well-being, suggesting potential model simplification.
