[Use of biofeedback in combined treatment of low spine pain].
One hundred and six patients with dorsalgia of lumbar-sacral spine have been examined and treated. The developed and tested optimal methodology for using biofeedback, reflex therapy and manual therapy in a combined treatment of patients of different age in acute and chronic stages of the disease raised treatment efficacy. Combined treatment, including biofeedback, manual therapy, acupuncture of patients with dorsalgia, provides rapid arrest of pain syndrome, reduction of high tonicity of paravertebral muscles, motion volume increasing in lumbar spine region. Biofeedback allows patients to self-regulate muscle tone, therefore prevent further possible exacerbations.

An electromyographic analysis of the deep cervical flexor muscles in performance of craniocervical flexion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: This study evaluated an electromyographic technique for the measurement of muscle activity of the deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscles. Electromyographic signals were detected from the DCF, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), and anterior scalene (AS) muscles during performance of the craniocervical flexion (CCF) test, which involves performing 5 stages of increasing craniocervical flexion range of motion--the anatomical action of the DCF muscles. SUBJECTS: Ten volunteers without known pathology or impairment participated in this study. METHODS: Root-mean-square (RMS) values were calculated for the DCF, SCM, and AS muscles during performance of the CCF test. Myoelectric signals were recorded from the DCF muscles using bipolar electrodes placed over the posterior oropharyngeal wall. Reliability estimates of normalized RMS values were obtained by evaluating intraclass correlation coefficients and the normalized standard error of the mean (SEM). RESULTS: A linear relationship was evident between the amplitude of DCF muscle activity and the incremental stages of the CCF test (F=239.04, df=36, P<.0001). Normalized SEMs in the range 6.7% to 10.3% were obtained for the normalized RMS values for the DCF muscles, providing evidence of reliability for these variables. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This approach for obtaining a direct measure of the DCF muscles, which differs from those previously used, may be useful for the examination of these muscles in future electromyographic applications.
[Mode-of-action of manual medicine in the cervical spine].
Manual medicine aims at diagnosing and treating different disorders of the musculoskeletal system. It is a multidisciplinary approach with special emphasis on reversible disorders of the joints, muscles and ligaments. This treatment conception includes chirotherapy, physical therapy and drug treatment. The spine, an in particular the cervical spine, is treated primarily for joint disorders characterized by a variety of symptoms (e.g.headache, vertigo, dizziness, blurred vision). Manual medicine should be an integral part of modern clinical otolaryngology.

Evidence-based pain management and palliative care in issue one for 2004 of The Cochrane Library.
The Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews is published quarterly. Issue one for 2004 of the library was published in February 2004. This issue contains 3,329 reviews and protocols of which 1,921 are fully published reviews. The trials database now stands at over 400,000 records with an additional 4,427 one-page summaries of non- Cochrane reviews in the NHS database of reviews of effectiveness (DARE). This version of the Library contains the results of an extensive search for RCTs on EMBASE. The latest library contains 84 new reviews, seven are considered relevant to practitioners in pain and palliative care. References are published in the same format as the citation for Cochrane reviews.
