More high-quality studies are needed, and manual therapists need to be cognizant that the current clinical tests for CSM lack strong diagnostic accuracy measures that are necessary for clinical decision making.

Two CAM categories showed the most promising findings, balneotherapy and mind-body therapies. Most of the other CAM categories showed a trend favoring the treatment group. It appears that several CAM therapies show some preliminary treatment effect for FM pain, but larger trials that are more adequately powered are needed.

The type, frequency, dosage, and duration of treatment(s) should be based on guideline recommendations, clinical experience, and findings. Evidence for the use of spinal manipulation as an isolated intervention for patients with tension-type headache remains equivocal.

The stretching of vertebral arteries (VA) during spinal manipulations (SMTs) of the neck has become an important clinical problem since the coroner's inquest into the death of Lana Lewis. The first scientific research aimed at directly measuring VA strains during neck SMTs was performed 8 years ago and demonstrated that VA strains distal to C1 and proximal to C6 were much smaller than strains encountered during everyday movements of the neck/head. For technical reasons, we could not measure the strains of VA in segments C1 to C6, which was rectified in our recent work. The findings of this study were essentially the same as those found in the study of Symons et al, suppo...

The authors aimed to “investigate the biomechanics of these VA segments within the cervical transverse foramina.” However, they placed 1 transducer midway for each intertransverse process segment rather than having 2 positioned within each transverse foramina, which, I believe, would be required to make accurate strain measurements at these exact locations.

These differences paralleled growth in experience but with an asymptotic leveling of change between the fourth year of training and 5 years of clinical practice experience. This study showed a systematic maturation in performance associated with educational experience. The reciprocal coupling between rate of force development and peak force created a relatively stable impulse.

I hope that the response addresses the issues raised in an unequivocal manner. The author has expressed concern over the use of the term novel in describing the model developed by Kumar in 2009 and reported by Stovall et al. A search of electronic databases for medical literature did not reveal any other model or any article describing such a device. Furthermore, an outside company hired by the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center to search for any such or similar model in patent records also came up empty-handed. In addition, the process of peer review during submission/publication of our article did ...

In the Stovall et al article, a pelvic model was used to assess the accuracy of landmark asymmetry of the anterior superior iliac spine. The pelvic model was reported as novel, invented and designed by the article's senior author in 2009. However, an essentially identical pelvic model for evaluating positional asymmetry tests was invented, designed, and constructed at the A.T. Still Research Institute in 2006 and has been in the public domain since 2007. The primary difference between the 2 pelvic models is that the Instit...

Within the limitations, for treatment of neck pain, either muscle strengthening or endurance exercise is recommended, whereas for reduction of pain-related disability, muscle endurance exercise is suggested. Further research is needed before any firm conclusions regarding the most effective exercise programs for office workers can be reached.

The PBSI has moderate correlation with disability assessments. Neither tool was found to strongly correlate with disability measures or with SF-36 scales (mental and physical component subscales). Additional tools may be needed to further identify the dimensions associated with chronic pain patients.

We did not find that women were more commonly affected than men. Moreover, we found that most patients had at least one cardio- or cerebrovascular comorbidity. Our analysis suggests that relying on case series or surveys of health care professionals may provide a biased view of who develops a VBA stroke.

A clinical trial will require 66 subjects per group to have a power of 80% to detect a 2-point difference in NDI score. This sample size will also provide more than 80% power to detect a 10-point difference in pain (VAS) between groups. Recruitment goals will be 76 per group to allow for dropouts.

Although there are no prospective research data concerning PSS in musicians, the present authors' empirical observations and clinical experience support the notion that the clinical course and therapeutic outcomes of PRMD bear relationship to the function of the stabilization systems. We therefore argue for a greater emphasis on the examination and training of the postural systems in the integrated prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of musicians.

It seems that using constant landmarks, knowledge of anatomy and function of target muscle, and a proper definition of muscle borders can help to take a clear image. Standardized position of the subject, correct placement of the transducer, and using multiple RUSI for statistical analyses may improve results.

Many individuals report ongoing back pain that continues beyond their Episodes-of-Care, and many individuals with persistent back pain may use prescription drugs, medical services, and other health services only intermittently.

The findings of this study support the accepted main actions of the scalene muscles. The clinical applications for understanding the cervical rotational properties of the scalene muscles include the diagnosis, management, and treatment of cervical pain conditions as well as thoracic outlet syndrome.

These rates are higher than rates reported in the medical literature for asymptomatic patients, a finding that supports the decision to further evaluate patients with persistent spine-related pain.

Chiropractors in Belgium primarily focus on the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints in adults, with emphasis on the spine. Patients presenting to the chiropractor consult with musculoskeletal complaints of moderate intensity that moderately affect their activities of daily living.
