Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and gout, represent a significant healthcare challenge due to their substantial economic burden and the persistent, often unmanageable, inflammation that conventional pharmacotherapy can't always alleviate efficiently. The limitations in efficacy and potential side effects associated with standard medications have led many sufferers to seek alternative solutions. This trend underscores the urgent need to research and validate the effectiveness of rehabilitation and alternative medicine in this context.
Our research topic aims to investigate the therapeutic possibilities and evidence-based medical quality of complementary treatments like physical therapy, acupuncture, and mindfulness practices. By doing so, we aspire to discover viable, complementary approaches to managing chronic rheumatic pain disorders, offering patients and healthcare providers new pathways to relief and an improved quality of life.
Our focus lies on exploring the following themes:
• Evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapy and manual techniques in managing Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders
• The role of mind-body practices - yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation - in Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders
• Complementary approaches such as acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and chiropractic adjustments for Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders
• Integrative Medicine: combining conventional and complementary therapies for Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders
• The impact of lifestyle modifications and biofeedback techniques on Chronic Rheumatic Pain Disorders
We welcome the submission of manuscripts including original research articles, reviews, mini reviews, general commentary, hypothesis & theory, brief research reports, case reports, clinical trials, methods, perspective articles, study protocols, and systematic reviews. Relevant manuscripts for this article collection will cover topics such as (but not limited to):
• Physical Therapy Techniques (e.g., therapeutic exercise, manual therapies)
• Incorporation of Exercise routines
• Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture methods
• Chiropractic Adjustments
• Massage Therapy
• Tai Chi practices
• Yoga and Pilates techniques
• Biofeedback and Neurofeedback methods
• Mindfulness and Meditation practices
