Extractions: Answer of the Day Date: Topic: Repetitive Strain Injury Area: General Category: Clinical managment What is the relationship between repetitive nerve injuries (RSIs) and nerve entrapment disorders? Because RSI appears often to be similar to nerve entrapment syndromes, many have speculated that there must be a relationship between the two. Typical entrapment neuropathies usually involve pain in the wrist and forearm, paresthesias and decreased grip, all similar to those seen in RSI (1). Unlike nerve entrapments, RSI patients show no changes on nerve conduction or other electrophysiologic studies. On the other hand investigators have found that both types of injuries have elevated vibration perception thresholds and that this disturbance seems to particularly affect the A-Beta fibers of the median nerve. Also, patients with RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome both have allodynia to suprathreshold stimulation, which implies that there are changes to processing of this input at the level of the spinal cord or brain (2).

Extractions: Failed Back Syndrome Failed Back Syndrome (FBS) is an umbrella term that describes residual pain that persists despite multiple spine surgeries or other interventionssuch as spinal manipulation or nerve blocksto reduce back and leg pain or repair neurological deficits. Examples of interventions that may have failed to relieve pain or repair deficits in FBS patients include: Discectomy surgery to move a herniated or protruding disc. Spinal Fusion surgical joining together of two or more vertebrae. Surgical decompression of spinal stenosis a surgical procedure done to relieve pressure on neural structures caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal. Rehabilitation therapeutic program involving patient and family education, physical, occupational, and psychological counseling to improve function in an impaired person.

Extractions: Back pain is very common and often occurs together with pain in the leg (sciatica). Most back pain attacks resolve after a few days or weeks. Modern medical advice is to keep moving and take simple painkillers. If pain persists, referral to a specialist such as an orthopaedic surgeon or a rheumatologist may be necessary. Investigations such as X rays, MRI and CT scans may reveal a cause for the pain such as a slipped disc. If symptoms are severe enough surgery may be required. However, in many cases no obvious cause for the pain can be found. Almost all of the structures in the spine , discs, ligaments, joints and bones may cause pain. Pain clinic specialists are able to offer a range of injection treatments which may give relief of pain. Often the injections contain slow release steroid and local anaesthetic. Steroids act by reducing inflammation.

Extractions: Reviewed by Bradley S. Galer, MD As a clinician and researcher interested in this condition, I looked forward to reading this new text. On completion of the book, however, the part of me wearing the clinician hat was left rather unfilled and unsatisfied, while the part wearing the researcher hat overflowed with facts, concepts, and thoughts based on scientific study. I strongly recommend this volume to those with an interest in complex regional pain syndromes, especially researchers. However, clinicians who are looking for a new insight from which new treatment recommendations might evolve will not find them in this book.

Even with recognition and authorization, a number of problems make thetreatment of these complex regional pain syndromes difficult.
http://www.cwce.com/feinbergarticles/regional.htm

Extractions: Considerable controversy still swirls around complex regional pain syndrome (reflex sympathetic dystrophy and causalgia). Questions about diagnosis, causation, whether the treatment being offered is appropriate, what the "true" level of disability is, and whether anything else can be done to assist the individual with managing pain are of great importance to all parties involved. While the common objective for the injured worker is increased function and return to gainful employment, there are many different opinions about how to achieve this goal. Confusing matters further is the change in terminology to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS I for RSD and CRPS II for causalgia). This article update is provided to clarify these issues. INTRODUCTION In my practice, a significant number of patients are referred and come labeled with various diagnoses such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), causalgia, sympathetically or non-sympathetically maintained pain. The overabundance of terms used to describe these overlapping clinical entities only serves to highlight the confusion within the medical field regarding the cause, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of patients.

Extractions: Lloyd R. Saberski, MD Alternative therapies have long been blanketly dismissed by the medical establishment. Although some may warrant inclusion in the allopathic armamentarium, further studies will be required to establish their viability and suitability for specific conditions. Some alternative therapies should be used with caution or avoided altogether. This is a review of currently practiced alternative forms of medicine.

Extractions: Marks R: Peripheral mechanisms underlying the signalling of joint position. New Zealand Journal of Physiotherapy In spite of the important functional role attributed to peripheral sensory receptors in the analysis of joint position sense, different views have existed regarding their relative role in mediating this sensory modality. This review examines the outcome of experiments concerning the relative role of joint, muscle, tendon and skin receptors in mediating position sense. The findings suggest that muscle spindle afferents appear to play the more crucial role in mediating the sense of position. Nevertheless, a contributory role for skin and joint receptors in the regulation of position sense cannot be discounted. Sensorimotor rehabilitation approaches applied to treat persons with impaired joint position sense should incorporate strategies which optimally activate muscle, skin and joint afferents.
