BACKGROUND
Chronic pain management is challenging. Those with chronic pain present to health professionals, including osteopaths.
METHODS
Secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey of the Osteopathy Research Connect - New Zealand (ORC-NZ), a practice-based research network (PBRN). Demographic, practice, and treatment characteristics of osteopaths who 'often' and 'not often' treat chronic pain patients were collected.
RESULTS
Two hundred and seventy-seven (277) NZ osteopaths responded and just over half (50.7% = 138) reported 'often' treating chronic pain patients. This group, who have a similar male-to-female ratio, often use a diagnostic screening questionnaire (aOR 3.78), and often treat patients with non-musculoskeletal complaints (aOR 3.12) and tendinopathies (aOR 3.41).
CONCLUSIONS
This study highlights practice and clinical management characteristics of NZ osteopaths who manage chronic pain patients.
背景
慢性疼痛管理具有挑战性。患有慢性疼痛的患者会向包括整骨疗法医生在内的医疗专业人员求诊。
方法
对基于实践的研究网络（PBRN）——新西兰整骨疗法研究连接（ORC-NZ）的横断面调查进行二次分析。收集了“经常”和“不经常”治疗慢性疼痛患者的整骨疗法医生的人口统计学、执业情况和治疗特征。
结果
277名新西兰整骨疗法医生做出了回应，略多于一半（50.7% = 138）的人报告“经常”治疗慢性疼痛患者。该组男女比例相似，经常使用诊断筛查问卷（调整优势比3.78），经常治疗有非肌肉骨骼疾病主诉的患者（调整优势比3.12）和肌腱病患者（调整优势比3.41）。
结论
本研究突出了管理慢性疼痛患者的新西兰整骨疗法医生的执业和临床管理特征。
