OBJECTIVE To assess interobserver reliability of two expert headache neurologists when examining the cervical spine of patients with headache. BACKGROUND The diagnosis of cervicogenic headache involves the physical examination of the cervical spine. METHODS Twenty-four patients diagnosed as having migraine, tension-type headache, or cervicogenic headache were included in the study. After in...

The aim of the present pilot study was to prove if the action-observation (AOb) improved the cervical range of motion (CROM) in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain (CNP). Double blind pilot study. A total of 28 subjects were randomly assigned to an effective-movement group (n=14) and an ineffective-movement group (n=14). The follow-up consisted of: pretreatment, posttreatment and 10 min...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Paraspinal infections after zygapophyseal (facet) radiofrequency denervation (RFD) are a serious but rare complication of this procedure. We are aware of only one case report of an epidural abscess after facet joint injection. PURPOSE To report post-procedure inflammatory changes after cervical facet RFD. STUDY DESIGN Case report. PATIENT SAMPLE A 35-year-old Caucasian ...

There is a gap in the literature regarding the effects of spinal manipulation on extremity muscles that are unconnected to the vertebral column by an origin or insertion. This study investigated the effect of a right C5/6 high-velocity low-amplitude thrust (HVLAT) manipulation on resting electromyographic activity of the biceps brachii muscles bilaterally. A placebo-controlled, single-blind, re...

Cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CR) is a degenerative condition in dogs that typically has a non-contact mechanism. Subsequent contralateral rupture often develops in dogs with unilateral CR. Synovitis severity is an important factor that promotes ligament degradation. Consequently, we wished to evaluate the utility of arthroscopy for assessment of stifle synovitis in dogs with CR. Herein, w...
