It also found inconclusive but favorable evidence for osteopathic manual therapy and inconclusive favorable evidence for cranio-sacral therapy.2 Cervicogenic vertigo A 2016 analysis of National Health Interview Survey data indicated| Continue reading - [Safety](https://clinicalcompass.org/evidence-center-research-summaries/safety/): Safety of Spinal Manipulative Therapy/Chiropractic Care This page only includes articles published in the last 5 years Cervical spine manipulation and stroke A 2015 systematic review stated: “We found no evidence for a causal link between chiropractic care and CAD [cervical artery dissection]. This is a significant finding because belief in a causal link is not uncommon, and such a belief may have significant adverse effects such as numerous episodes of litigation.”1 A 2015 case-control study found no significant association between the risk of vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) stroke and exposure to chiropractic care.

Trigger points and myofascial pain syndrome A 2015 systematic review of randomized control trials (RCT) found seven studies that demonstrated that myofascial release (MFR) with conventional physiotherapy is more effective than a control group receiving no treatment for various conditions.1 A 2016 commentary recommends that due to current thought, in which trigger points feature significant hypoxia, induction of ischemia would be counterproductive and so the term “ischemic compression” should be replaced by “TrP compression.”2 Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) A 2015 systematic review found that tai chi, yoga, meditation| Continue reading - [Special Populations — Pregnancy](https://clinicalcompass.org/evidence-center-research-summaries/special-populations-pregnancy/): Special Populations—Pregnancy This page only includes articles published in the last 5 years Pelvic floor function A very small, preliminary, comparative study aimed to evaluate whether 1 session of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) would alter pelvic floor muscle function.1 Eleven pregnant women in their 2nd trimester were compared to 15 non-pregnant women using ultrasonographic imaging as a measurement tool. Results showed no changes occurred in the control group following SMT, but the pregnant women were able to relax pelvic floor muscles. This suggests SMT could aid vaginal delivery if relaxation does not occur naturally.

Chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation; yoga, tai chi, or qi gong were the most commonly used CAM approaches.1 A 2012 systematic reviewed stated, “studies that monitored both subjective and objective outcome measures of relevance to both patients and parents tended to report the most favorable response to SMT, especially among children with asthma.”2 Infantile colic A 2016 review summarized current trends in| Continue reading - [Canadian Chiropractic Guideline Initiative (CCGI) 5 Year Report](https://clinicalcompass.org/news/canadian-chiropractic-guideline-initiative-ccgi-5-year-report/): Be sure and check out the 5- year report from our friends and collaborators at the Canadian Chiropractic Guideline Initiative (CCGI).

More than 30 percent of Americans experience acute or chronic pain, and as emphasis on pain treatment has grown in the last two decades, prescriptions for opioids have skyrocketed in tandem with the escalation of the opioid epidemic. The National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institutes of Health have identifiedboth opioid research and pain research as top priorities, and the epidemic has ushered in new thinking on how and when to use opioids in pain management.| Continue reading - [2017 Clinical Compass Annual Report](https://clinicalcompass.org/news/2017-clinical-compass-annual-report/): On November 3rd 2017 the board of the Clinical Compass was very graciously hosted at Logan University in St. Louis for our annual meeting.
