Study Finds Common Back Pain Treatment Doesn't Offer Relief

Description

A commonly prescribed treatment for people suffering from chronic back pain may not be providing any relief. A new review suggests that antidepressants when prescribed for chronic pain, provide little to no back pain relief. The review did find that the medications could however offer a modest benefit for osteoarthritis and sciatica. Their review looked at data from 33 clinical trials studying the use of antidepressants for chronic pain. Antidepressants are frequently prescribed by doctors to help chronic pain sufferers with their mental distress.

Study: You Can Probably Avoid An Appendectomy With One Simple Treatment

Nobody in their right mind would want appendicitis, but a new study says there is a way to have a fighting chance of avoiding surgery for it. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine found 7 in 10 appendicitis patients treated with antibiotics ultimately avoid surgery. Of 1,552 participants from 14 states, about 71% of those who took antibiotics did not have surgery within three months. What's more, UPI reports participants in the antibiotic group missed about 3 1/2 fewer days of work. With surgery, the appendix is fully removed. But with antibiotics, appendicitis can return. The researchers next want to study the frequency of reoccurrence.
