Abstract:

A lombalgia e a cervicalgia estao entre as principais dores cr6nicas de origem musculoesqueletica. Alern do aspecto fisico, a dor possui aspectos cognitivos, emocionais e comportamentais e, quando cr6nica, pode tornar-se incapacitante. A percepcao e perpetuacao da dor resultam de inumeros mecanismos de transmissao e codificagao neural. Neste processo, participam diferentes moleculas e mensageiros quimicos. Destacamos as especies reativas de oxigenio e nitrogenio, envolvidas no processo de sensibilizacao central. A regulagao da formagao destas especies reativas depende de sistemas antioxidantes

Abstract:

Höghastighetsmanipulation av nacken är en manuell behandlingsteknik mot smärta i framförallt nacken och skuldrorna. Tekniken har enligt flera källor visats hänga samman med risken för att drabbas av skador på de kärl som försörjer hjärnan med blod, med bland annat stroke som följd. Andra källor har å andra sidan visat att de är en teknik som är säker att utföra. Den här litteraturstudien har sammanställt och utvärderat forskning som på olika sätt söker utreda om det påstådda sambandet är kausalt eller inte. Metoden som valdes var att genom en av SBU färdigställd mall värdera forskningsartiklar

Abstract:

Background: La cefalea cervicogenica è una cefalea causata da una disfunzione del rachide cervicale e dalle sue componenti ossee, discali e/o dei tessuti molli, solitamente accompagnata da dolore al collo. È una patologia frequente che colpisce lo 0,4-2,6% della popolazione generale. La manipolazione spinale è una tecnica manuale comunemente utilizzata come trattamento di questa patologia, anche se il dibattito sulla sua efficacia è ancora aperto. Obiettivi: L’obiettivo di questa tesi è valutare l’efficacia della manipolazione vertebrale nel trattamento dei pazienti con cefalea cervicogenica.

Abstract:

Spinal manipulation is a commonly sought therapy for neck pain. The present work examined sagittal plane cervical inter-vertebral kinematics in patients and healthy volunteers to explore whether motion is different in patients with neck pain, if manipulation is associated with changing cervical kinematics, and if changes are related to patient-reported outcomes. A standardised quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) image acquisition protocol for the cervical spine was developed and tested. A model of a cervical segment with a rigidly fitted digital inclinometer was rotated in the sagittal plane whilst
