Diagnoses of Young Trauma Victims with Disc Desiccation a Quadruple-Blind Methodology

Abstract

Objective: The essence of research is accuracy, an objective protocol, and the secured transfer of data. Accuracy is directly related to the Methodology, at present, there are two major options available for research. Double-Blind Methodology which has a recognized significant conscious and/or unconscious bias. The second Quadrupled-Blind Methodology recognized to have a zero bias. An absence of bias ensures a true and accurate clinical finding. We have developed a software platform and computerize the entire research study. A true zero bias study. To consider evidence that indicates disc desiccation occurs with regularity in young individuals, despite reports to the contrary. Clinical trial features: The clinical histories of 168 chiropractic patients under the age of 50 were reviewed in such a manner that individual patients cannot be identified. Outcome: 20 individuals under the age of 50 were found to exhibit disc desiccation, an occurrence of approximately 12%. It was also indicated that disc desiccation appears to occur with slightly greater frequency in women. Conclusion: Disc desiccation is more prevalent in young trauma victims than was previously believed. Concern regarding sample size was discussed, as were suggestions for further research, such as larger sample size, consideration of the direction of impact, the effects of health or obesity upon the occurrence and/or degree of injury.
