And Now for some news ….
Cervical Artery Dissection and SMT among US adults
The European Spine Journal recently published a review comparing cervical artery dissection and spinal manipulation among US adults.
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD), which includes both vertebral artery dissection (VAD) and carotid artery dissection (CAD), is the most serious safety concern associated with cervical spinal manipulation (CSM).
The authors of this study evaluated the association between Cervical SMT and Cervical artery dissection among US adults.
Conclusions of the review found that among privately insured US adults, the overall risk of Cervical artery dissection is very low. Prior receipt of Cervical SMT was more likely than medical evaluation and management among vertebral artery dissection patients as compared to stroke patients.
However, for carotid artery dissection patients as compared to stroke patients, as well as for both vertebral artery dissection and carotid artery dissection patients in comparison with population controls and in case-crossover analysis, prior receipt of E&M was more likely than Cervical SMT.
