《IFOMPT 颈椎国际标准：骨科手法干预前颈部潜在血管疾病检查》的要点解读.

BACKGROUND: The evaluation and management of cervical vascular pathologies before orthopedic manual therapy have great significance for reducing risks, ensuring patients’ interests and promoting optimal clinical decision-making. However, the research and exploration of this field in China are still in its infancy. In 2020, the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) released the International Framework for Examination of the Cervical Region for potential of vascular pathologies of the neck prior to Orthopaedic Manual Therapy (OMT) Intervention: International IFOMPT Cervical Framework (2020). This framework has important references and guiding values for the clinical practice of cervical manipulation in China. OBJECTIVE: To integrate and interpret the core content of the framework, to provide a reference for the clinical practice of cervical manual therapy in China. METHODS: On the basis of a full study of the framework, the authors interpret the core content of the framework from eight aspects including clinical reasoning, patient history, planning the physical examination, physical examination, risk and benefit. Meanwhile, seven databases including PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, VIP and China Biomedical Literature Service System databases were searched by computer to screen clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus on neck pain. Through longitudinal comparison of multiple high-quality guidelines and consensus, the authors combine with the clinical practice in China to carry out discussion and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: This framework expounds the management strategy and implementation path of cervical vascular disease evaluation before cervical manipulation from multiple dimensions, suggesting that we should improve clinicians’ attention to cervical vascular disease evaluation before manipulation, and construct evaluation criteria and implementation path with Chinese clinical characteristics. Meanwhile, we should further carry out basic scientific research with multidisciplinary techniques and promote shared decision-making and teaching model innovation to achieve the best clinical decision.
