Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

5.3K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Myasthenia Gravis: Overview and Treatment

2.2K
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular transmission disorder characterized by weakness and increased fatigability of skeletal muscles. It is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately one in 2000 people, where antibodies against the α1 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are produced.
These antibodies interfere with the function of the nicotinic receptors in three ways: by binding to the receptor and disrupting acetylcholine binding; by causing cross-linking of receptors which...

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses01:24

Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses

959
Centrally acting muscle relaxants reduce muscle tone and tension by interfering with the postsynaptic reflexes in the central nervous system.
Centrally acting drugs are classified into spasmolytic and antispasmodic drugs. Spasmolytic drugs such as baclofen, diazepam, and tizanidine inhibit spinal motor neurons and decrease muscle tone. Spasmolytic drugs are administered for severe and chronic spasms due to multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord and muscle injuries. However,...

Skeletal Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses01:31

Skeletal Muscle Relaxants: Therapeutic Uses

710
Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to relax muscle tone and alleviate painful muscle contractions. However, the choice of skeletal muscle relaxants depends on the duration of the surgical procedure in order to minimize potential side effects. Skeletal muscle relaxants like neuromuscular blocking agents [NMBAs] are commonly employed as adjuvants alongside general anesthetics in clinical settings. NMBAs are also used to maintain controlled ventilation during surgery of the larynx or pharynx...

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Manual therapy is increasingly sought as a non-opioid pain management option.
  • Commonly used by osteopaths, chiropractors, and physical therapists.
  • Techniques include myofascial release, muscle energy, and high-velocity, low-amplitude manipulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence for manual therapy in managing various pain conditions.
  • To assess the efficacy of manual therapy for common musculoskeletal complaints.
  • To understand the role of manual therapy in the context of current pain management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing studies on manual therapy.
  • Analysis of research on conditions such as back pain, neck pain, and temporomandibular joint disorders.
  • Comparison of manual therapy outcomes with other therapeutic interventions and sham manipulations.

Main Results:

  • Manual therapies show potential short-to-moderate term improvements in pain and function for acute and chronic back pain, neck pain, rotator cuff issues, and TMJ disorders.
  • Evidence suggests comparable benefits to other common therapies.
  • High-quality research confirming definitive benefits is limited, with some studies showing no superiority over sham manipulation.

Conclusions:

  • Manual therapy is a viable option for certain pain conditions, particularly back and neck pain.
  • Further high-quality research is necessary to substantiate the efficacy and long-term benefits.
  • Manual therapy may offer benefits comparable to conventional treatments, but robust evidence is still developing.
