Research On Magnetic Therapy

2. State the null hypothesis for the Baird and Sands (2004) study that focuses on the effect of the GI with PMR treatment on patients’ mobility level. Should the null

Pain is not just a symptom, but a specific problem that needs to be treated. Pain is a neurologic response to unpleasant stimuli. What is the gate control theory of pain? What are the classifications of pain? What are some ways to manage pain?

The second paragraph is full of hyperboles such as “magnetism to properly align the biomagnetic field of your foot”. This sentence, already given false authority, is an extreme hyperbole in the fact that none of this “science” actually cured the pain of the few interviewed later on. Companies and individuals seem to blow things out of proportion just to make a pretty penny. In general, most ads are hyperboles themselves, chalk full of bright and flashy designs and tempting pictures and fonts. For example, would this shoe insert, the MagnaSole, probably just an ordinary piece of carbon rubber, actually help the pain?

According to The World Health Organisation (1999), defined pain as an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage. Pain is traditionally described as acute or chronic pain. The prevalence of chronic pain (CP) is higher than of acute of pain, as it affects 7.8 million people of all ages in the UK (Chronic Pain Policy Coalition., 2006). The current leading cause of mortality that is accounting for 60% of all deaths is due to chronic diseases and is also a problem as causes an increasing burden on the health care service (World Health Organisation., 2007). CP can affect a person’s quality of life if managed poorly, statistics shows that 25% of people lose their job and 22% leads to depression. (Chronic Pain Policy Coalition.,

Pain is the most commonly reported reason for coming to the hospital in America. It’s causes have a massive variance, and in many chronic cases the root source of pain can not be articulated at all. When a patient reports pain, the role of the nurse, and the whole healthcare staff, is to aim to reduce that pain. In many cases pain reduction can be attained through nonpharmacologic, complementary and alternative methods (CAM). Using CAM to reduce pain is an ideal scenario for both the patient and the healthcare staff as these alternative methods have fewer negative consequential effects.

“Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals (Mayoclinic Staff, 2015).” There are several theories as to why this pain continues to exist post treatment. Researchers have postulated that this disease process amplifies painful sensations in your brain, others retain that it acts like an arthritic condition as it degrades the joint capsule and most soft tissue within. These patients can display a wide variety of symptoms ranging from sleep problems and fatigue, to pain and muscle spasms and or muscle

Results (what were the basic results of the study, how did the authors draw conclusions, how did they display their data, are their conclusions justified) (1pt)

Throughout history there has always been a debate on whether or not fibromyalgia is a valid health concern. Finally with today’s technology and medical research it can finally be diagnosed.Even though doctors are unable to pinpoint the root cause of these symptoms, we now know it is a valid and widespread medical condition. Fibromyalgia used to be called “muscular rheumatism.” Which is a neurobiological disorder that affects many in their daily lives. The main description of this diagnosis is chronic widespread pain, that can also disturb one's psychological state of mind. Fibromyalgia was not

A post hoc-pair-wise comparison test was done to obtain the mean change among the three treatment groups with p values. P values that was greater than 0.5 were considered to be significant for the study. The author found that there were some changes in the participants physical activities where the TENS unit had caused the Fibromyalgia pain to subside where patients were able to have an improved quality of life. The effectiveness of this study does remain controversial due to TENS unit being self-administered by the

First, in the second paragraph they say “... It harnesses the power of magnetism to properly align the biomagnetic field around your foot.” which was told by a pseudoscientist, or fake scientist. They use a big word like “biomagnetic” to make it seem like it’s useful just by saying a scientist who is actually a fake scientist describe it with big words. Next, they counter-argue themselves by calling the product “semi-plausible” calling it a product that can only get half the credit which it deserves.

Fibromyalgia is a persistent pain disorder that affects multiple parts of a person’s body that typically occurs between ages thirty and fifty years old (Glennon, 2010). The disorder is seven times more common in females than males and may occur in as much as 8% of the women within their lifetimes (Arnold et al., 2008). While general knowledge on fibromyalgia has increased since the American College of Rheumatology’s first report in 1990 (Clauw et al., 2011), the etiology and exact psychophysiological process creating the disorder is still yet to be determined (Ryan, 2013).

What if I said that three times the amount of people in China is how many people have fibromyalgia in the world? About half of those people don’t know that they have it. Many people have had fibromyalgia for years and have no clue. Today, I am going to be informing you about fibromyalgia and how it is affecting many people around you. I chose this topic because my mom has been struggling with it for the past 15 years and just lately it has been getting bad so I wanted to know more about what is going on. I have done research about this topic to prepare for this presentation. First, I will be giving you an overview on what Fibromyalgia is. Second, I will be talking about the causes and symptoms of it. Finally, I will tell you about the treatments

Pain is different for everyone, because the brain “…[creates] its own selective picture; a picture largely determined by what is important for the survival and reproduction of the species” (Axel 234). In addition, because “[o]ur perceptions are not direct recordings of the world around us, rather, they are constructed internally according to innate rules” (Axel 234), classifying and treating pain for a large group of individuals is problematic. When attempting to address this issue, the question must be presented: is there a particular type of therapy which hospitals can use to reduce pain perception of patients, thus improving (or upholding) their physical

An important topic is being discussed, and it concerns fibromyalgia. Indeed, there are many views about this chronic disorder. However, Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by wide spread, monoarticular musculoskeletal pain and fatigue with multiple tender points (Lewis, Pg. 1590). People with fibromyalgia may also experience nonrestorative sleep, morning stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome, and anxiety (Lewis, Pg. 1590). Additionally, fibromyalgia has a varied and fluctuating clinical spectrum (Guymer 2013). Cardinal features include widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness, poor quality, unrefreshing sleep and significant levels of fatigue (Guymer 2013). Other key features include cognitive disturbances, particularly problems

Chronic Pain is an interesting problem in society today. The exact cause of Chronic Pain is not the same in every patient. In fact most patients present with different symptoms and associated pathologies, such as the strong link with depression. Treatment of Chronic Pain is often performed a single practitioner whether that be a Medical Doctor, Chiropractor, Nutritionist, or an alternative health care professional. Chronic Pain is often extremely complex, because of this treatment needs to be multidimensional. Effective care of Chronic Pain requires the collective cooperation of health care professionals
