Article Synopsis
- Electroacupuncture (EA) is effective and safe for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but the best current intensity for pain relief hasn't been clear, prompting a comparison of high vs. low-intensity EA.
- The meta-analysis included three randomized controlled trials with 472 participants and found that high-intensity EA significantly reduces pain compared to low-intensity EA, though both had similar functional improvement scores (WOMAC).
- High-intensity EA also had a greater positive effect on emotional well-being than low-intensity EA, suggesting it may be the better choice for patients with KOA.
There are few studies focusing on biomechanism of spinal cord injury according to the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) during cervical rotatory manipulation (CRM). This study aimed to explore the biomechanical effects of CRM on the spinal cord, dura matter and nerve roots with OPLL in the cervical vertebral canal. Three validated FE models of the craniocervical spine and spinal cord complex were constructed by adding mild, moderate, and severe OPLL to the healthy FE model, respectively.
