With the advancement of age, each individual suffering backache once in his lifetime. In the clinical practice maximum number of patients visiting a doctor have symptoms of Low Back Pain (LBP). Taking into consideration, the frequency of this ailment various modalities of treatment such as NSAIDs, steroids, physiotherapy and lastly operative measures are implied on patients which have its own drawback like having temporarily relief, adverse side-effects, costly affair etc. In case of Ayurvedic Treatment: snehana, swedana, basti karma, Agni karma & Raktamokshana need to be implemented. An effort has been made to establish the practice of Raktamokshana with cupping method. Raktamokshana is done by after prachhan karma and applying transparent vacuum cups to drain vitiated dosha along with the impure blood. It is very similar to Ghati Yantra explained in the classics that is the Sushruta Samhita. A single arm study was conducted on 10 patients of katigatavata and were treated with raktamokshana by cupping method. A significant relief was observed in the patients complains. So, it can be concluded that cupping method is an efficient modality for raktamokshana for patients suffering from Katigata-Vata.

Introduction Self-reported levels of disability in individuals with low back pain (LBP) have not improved in the last decade. A broader perspective and a more comprehensive management framework may improve disability outcomes. We recently developed and validated the Low Back Pain and Disability Drivers Management (PDDM) model, which aims to identify the domains driving pain and disability to guide clinical decisions. The objectives of this study were to determine the applicability of the PDDM model to a LBP population and the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic trial, as well as to explore clinicians’ perceived acceptability of the PDDM model’s use in clinical settings. Methods This study was an one-arm prospective feasibility trial. Participants included physiotherapists working with a population suffering from LBP and their patients aged 18 years or older presenting with a primary complaint of LBP that sought a new referral and deemed fit for rehabilitation from private and public clinical settings. Clinicians participated in a one-day workshop on the integration of the PDDM model into their clinical practice, and were asked to report various LBP-related outcomes via self-reported questionnaires (i.e., impact of pain on physical function, nervous system dysfunctions, cognitive-emotional factors, work disabilities) at baseline and at six-week follow-up. Physiotherapists’ acceptability of the use of the PDDM model and appreciation of the training were assessed via semi-structured phone interviews. Analyses focused on a description of the model’s applicability to a LBP population, feasibility outcomes and acceptability measures. Results Applicablity of the PDDM model was confirmed since it successfully established the profile of patients according to the elements of each categories, and each of the 5 domains of the model was represented among the study sample. Trial was deemed feasible contingent upon few modifications as our predefined success criteria for the feasibility outcomes were met but feasibility issues pertaining to data collection were highlighted. Twenty-four (24) clinicians and 61 patients were recruited within the study’s timeframe. Patient’s attrition rate (29%) and clinicians’ compliance to the study protocol were adequate. Clinicians’ perceived acceptability of the use of the model in clinical settings and their appreciation of the training and online resources were both positive. Recommendations to improve the model’s integration in clinical practice, content of the workshop and feasibility of data collection methods were identified for future studies. A positive effect for all patients’ reported outcome measures were also observed. All outcome measures except for the PainDetect questionnaire showed a statistically significant reduction post-intervention (p<0.05). Conclusion These findings provide preliminary evidence of the potential of the PDDM model to optimize LBP management as well as conducting a future larger-scale pragmatic trial to determine its effectiveness.

A review of fifty patients with wide ranging clinical conditions who had been fitted with one-piece moulded plastic spinal orthoses was carried out to determine prescription criteria for these orthoses. The review showed that patients with scoliosis (idiopathic and paralytic), kyphoscoliosis, as well as a selected number of patients with low back pain derive benefit. Patients with kyphosis and localized vertebral body disease are unlikely to gain benefit since they commonly cannot tolerate the excessive skin pressures which occur as a consequence of the corrective and distractive forces applied by the devices.

Editorial NoteAs discussed in a recent editorial, the British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) rescinds the Expression of Concern [1] for a recent network meta-analysis (NMA) [2] that was issued solely on the basis of comments by Professor Maher and colleagues [3]. The original authors (Dr Belavy and colleagues) have responded [4]. The original NMA paper did not require any changes. We editors of the BJSM have full confidence in the findings of the NMA [2]. The findings of the NMA inform clinical practice and can serve to inform clinical practice guidelines.Karim Khan, MD, PhDEditor-in-Chief, BJSMJuly 27th, 2020REFERENCES1 Expression of concern: Which specific modes of exercise training are most effective for treating low back pain?
