Evidence Based Rehabilitation in Chronic Pain Syndromes AĞRI 2012;24(3):97-103 REVIEW - DERLEME doi: 10.5505/agri.2012.46320 Evidence based rehabilitation in chronic pain syndromes Kronik ağrı sendromlarında kanıta dayalı rehabilitasyon Gülseren AKYÜZ, Özlem ÖZKÖK Summary Chronic pain syndrome (CPS) is a complex condition that presents a major challenge to physicians because of its unknown etiology and poor response to all kinds of therapies. It has been suggested that chronicity should be considered when pain persists longer than the acceptable healing time. The impact of chronic pain on patients’ lives varies from minor limitations to complete loss of independence. The rehabilitation in CPSs is multi-disciplinary and involves physical, occupational, and manual therapy, aquatherapy, cognitive/behavioral therapy, biofeedback, psychotherapy, and some new therapies. In recent years, the point of view in chronic pain management has changed substantially and CPS is managed best with a multidisciplinary approach, including a rehabilitative process. The treatment protocol should be planned and modified individually. A combination of several methods has been tried, but long-term evidence-based studies are needed for new treatment modalities. Key words: Chronic pain syndromes; new rehabilitative methods; pain rehabilitation. Özet Kronik ağrı sendromu kompleks bir durum olup etyolojisinin net olmaması ve değişik tedavilere iyi yanıt alınamaması ile hekimler tarafından büyük bir bilinmezlik olarak kabul görmektedir. Kronisite, beklenen iyileşme sürecinden sonra da ağrının devam etmesi şeklinde yorumlanır. Hastaların yaşamı üzerine kronik ağrının etkisi hafif kısıtlanmadan bağımsızlığın tümden kaybedilmesine kadar değişen bir yelpazede ortaya çıkar. Kronik ağrı sendromlarının rehabilitasyonu çok alanlı yaklaşım gerektirir ve fizyoterapi, uğraşı terapisi, manuel terapi, akuaterapi, bilişsel/davranışsal terapi, biofeedback, psikoterapi ve diğer birçok yeni tedavi yöntemini içerir. Son yıllarda, kronik ağrı tedavisine bakış büyük oranda değişmiş ve en iyi yaklaşımın çok alanlı olduğu, rehabilitatif sürecin tedaviye dahil edilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmıştır. Tedavi protokolü bireysel olarak planlanmalı ve gerektiğinde modifiye edilmelidir. Birçok metodun kombine edilmesi söz konusu ise de özellikle yeni tedavi seçenekleri üzerinde uzun dönemde yapılmış kanıta dayalı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Anahtar sözcükler: Kronik ağrı sendromları; yeni rehabilitatif yöntemler; ağrı rehabilitasyonu.

  • Alternative Sports Medicine What's New and How You Can Get Back
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2007 Contact: Sue Seecof, Rolf Institute, [email protected], 800-530-8875 Alternative Sports Medicine What’s New And How You Can Get Back On Your Feet In No Time Boulder, CO..."Alternative approaches can be helpful for just about any soft tissue injury an athlete’s likely to incur, whether it’s a less-serious acute problem, such as a sprain or pulled hamstring, or a chronic condition such as tendonitis or knee pain." Women’s Outside, Fall ‘99. Kristen Ulmer, former World Champion Extreme skier and U.S. Freestyle Ski team, mogul specialist, who had a series of knee surgeries as a result of injuries and tendonitis says, "After the surgery I had excruciating pain and could not drive or walk." Revered as the "best female Extreme skier" for the past 8-9 years, Ulmer tried Rolfing® bodywork for soft tissue injuries and says it brought her hips and ankles back into alignment, and the pain disappeared. "It healed so fast I can't believe it!" says Kristen. "The expected 6 month recovery time was cut in half, and three months after surgery I was trekking to Cho Oyu on a Himalayan ski expedition." "Ulmer was desperate to find relief from her chronic knee pain. So after her most recent surgery, she rested her knee and signed up for ten Rolfing treatments. By the time she had received Rolfing from head to toe, she was pain-free for the first time in years and is back on the slopes." Women's Sports and Fitness, July ‘99.

Rolf and her life’s work of Structural Integration or Rolfing is a product of early twentieth century American metaphysical thought. Rolfing is an American form of somatic bodywork that strives to overcome the Cartesian mind/body split. Through structural work via manual manipulation, Rolfing attempts to achieve physical health and emotional intelligence. This paper explores four major aspects of Rolfing as American Metaphysical religiosity, as defined by Catherine L. Albanese in Republic of Mind and Spirit: A Cultural History of American Metaphysical Religion. The project also explores the origins of somatic bodywork and the metaphysical idea of spiritual transformation through physical change. The Esalen Institute is examined for its part in developing a secular American metaphysical religiosity that fostered and promoted Rolfing.

    Corporate Medical Policy Complementary and Alternative Medicine File Name: complementary_and_alternative_medicine Origination: 12/2007 Last CAP Review: 2/2021 Next CAP Review: 2/2022 Last Review: 2/2021 Description of Procedure or Service The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine (NCCIH), a component of the National Institutes of Health, defines complementary, alternative medicine (CAM) as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional or allopathic medicine. While some scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies-questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the diseases or medical conditions for which they are used. Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. Complementary medicine proposes to add to a proven medical treatment. Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. Alternative means the proposed method would possibly replace an already proven and accepted medical intervention. NCCIM classifies CAM therapies into 5 categories or domains: • Whole Medical Systems. These alternative medical systems are built upon complete systems of theory and practice. These systems have evolved apart from, and earlier than, the conventional medical approach used in the U.S. Examples include: homeopathic and naturopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics, Naprapathy and Polarity Therapy. • Mind-Body Medicine. Mind-body interventions use a variety of techniques designed to enhance the mind’s capacity to affect bodily functions and symptoms. Some techniques have become part of mainstream practice, such as patient support groups and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
