, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) approved the joint Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Diagnosis and Management of Low Back Pain. This CPG was intended to provide healthcare providers a framework by which to evaluate, treat, and manage patients with low back pain (LBP). METHODS: The VA/DoD Evidence-Based Practice Work Group convened a joint VA/DoD guideline development effort that included a multidisciplinary panel of practicing clinician stakeholders and conformed to the Institute of Medicine's tenets for trustworthy clinical practice guidelines. The guideline panel developed key questions in collaboration with the ECRI Institute, which systematically searched and evaluated the literature through September 2016, developed an algorithm, and rated recommendations by using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) system. A patient focus group was also convened to ensure patient values and perspectives were considered when formulating preferences and shared decision making in the guideline. RECOMMENDATIONS: The VA/DOD LBP CPG provides evidence-based recommendations for the diagnostic approach, education and self-care, non-pharmacologic and non-invasive therapy, pharmacologic therapy, dietary supplements, non-surgical invasive therapy, and team approach to treatment of low back pain.

“…The overall quality of evidence was evaluated according to the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria, as in previous research 18 ( Table 2 ). In brief, studies that were observational, limited, inconsistent, indirect, or imprecise or exhibited publication bias were considered to yield “low-quality” evidence.…”

To evaluate whether the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM; 中醫 zhōng yī) influences symptoms or functional outcomes in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee (膝關節炎 xī guān jié yán).A systematic review of randomized control trials was conducted. Searches for studies in PubMed that were performed between 1965 and August 2013, and retrieved studies were subjected to reference screening. The types of studies included in our review were 1) placebo-based or comparative studies; 2) open label, single-blinded or double-blinded studies; 3) studies evaluating the efficacy of TCM for treating OA of the knee; and 4) studies evaluating only TCM or combination preparations. Trials were conducted with participants over 18 years of age with knee pain and at least three of the following characteristics: 1) an age greater than 50 years; 2) morning stiffness lasting for fewer than 30 min; 3) a crackling or grating sensation; 4) bony tenderness of the knee; 5) bony enlargement of the knee; or 6) no detectable warmth of the joint to the touch. Studies were rated for risk of bias and graded for quality.After screening, 104 studies that satisfied the eligibility requirements were identified, and only 18 randomized control trials were included in the quantitative and qualitative synthesis. Upon review, we found “moderate-quality” evidence of effects from acupuncture (針灸 zhēn jiǔ) on pain, which was measured using a visual analogue scale, and physical function, which was measured using qigong (氣功 qì gōng) with motion. “Low-quality” evidence was found regarding the effects of acupuncture on physical function, and no evidence was found regarding the effects of herbal medicine on pain or physical function. Herbal patches (藥布 yào bù) appeared to affect pain and physical and function, but these effects were not found to be significant.The initial findings included in this review suggest that acupuncture is a promising intervention according to the primary outcome measure, pain, and qigong with motion is an effective method for treating physical function. However, according to the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, only moderate-quality evidence was found in these studies. Further rigorous studies are warranted to investigate the application of TCM in treating OA of knee.

“…С другой стороны, имеется лишь несколько хорошо организованных исследований, в которых изучался терапевтический потенциал СПМД при ХНБС. Метаанализ 3 РКИ (n=309) продолжительностью от 12 нед не показал достоверных различий между глюкозамином и плацебо по снижению боли и улучшению функции у пациентов с ХНБС [71]. Весьма показательны данные Р. Wilkens и соавт.…”

Хроническая неспецифическая боль в нижней части спины (ХНБС) представляет серьезную медицинскую и социальную проблему, являясь одной из основных причин инвалидизации и значительного снижения качества жизни людей в современной популяции. Разработка эффективных методов лечения ХНБС требует совместных усилий представителей разных медицинских специальностей: терапевтов, ревматологов, неврологов, нейрохирургов и реабилитологов. Одной из частых причин развития ХНБС следует считать остеоартрит фасеточных и крестцово-подвздошных суставов. Авторы рассматривают вопросы патогенеза и клинических проявлений, проблемы диагностики, а также различные подходы к лечению данной патологии. На основании собственного опыта и анализа данных литературы определены ряд положений, которые в дальнейшем могут использоваться для формирования рекомендаций по лечению и реабилитации больных с ХНБС. Ключевые слова: хроническая неспецифическая боль в спине; остеоартрит; фасеточные суставы; крестцовоподвздошные суставы; нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты; глюкокортикоиды; гиалуроновая кислота; радиочастотная денервация.
