Abstract:

The original article is available at <a href="https://bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12891-019-2639-4">biomedcentral.con</a>
BACKGROUND: A research gap exists for optimal management of cervical radiculopathy in the first 12 weeks and short term natural history of the condition is somewhat unclear, although thought to be favourable. The primary aim of this assessor blinded, superiority, 2 parallel group randomised controlled trial is to investigate the effects of a 4 week physiotherapy programme (6-8 sessions) of manual therapy, exercise and upper limb neural unloading tape, compared to a control of weekly phone advice; on disability, pain and selected biopsychosocial measures, in acute and sub-acute cervical radiculopathy patients. A secondary aim is to identify whether any baseline variables, symptom duration or group allocation can predict outcome. <...

Abstract:

The 11th Congress of the European Pain Federation EFIC, 4-7 September 2019, Valencia, Spain
Objectives Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a commonly reported obesity related co-morbidity. Our Weight Management Service (WMS) is a national Tier 3 referral centre for the treatment of adults with severe obesity. As part of our service we deliver a 6 week weight management in-patient programme (WMIPP). This WMIPP involves a 1,100kcal liquid diet, functional rehabilitation and psychology interventions. This study evaluates the impact of the WMIPP on MSK pain and physical function.

Self-Management Skills in Chronic Disease Management: What Role Does Health Literacy Have? (2020)

Self-Management Skills in Chronic Disease Management: What Role Does Health Literacy Have? (2020)

Mackey, Laura; Doody, Catherine; Werner, Erik L.; Fullen, Brona M.

Abstract:

Background. Self-management-based interventions can lead to improved health outcomes in people with chronic diseases, and multiple patient characteristics are associated with the development of self-management behaviors. Low health literacy (HL) has been implicated in poorer self-management behaviors and increased costs to health services. However, the mechanisms behind this relationship remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the current review is to assess the association between HL and patient characteristics related to self-management behaviors (i.e., disease-related knowledge, beliefs, and self-efficacy). Methods. The review comprised 3 phases: 1) database searches, 2) eligibility screening, and 3) study quality assessment and strength of evidence. Inclusion criteria specified that a valid HL screening tool was used, that at least one self-management behavior was assessed, and that patients had a chronic condition. Results. An initial search generated a total of 712 articles, of ...
