Editors' Council. ABSTRACTS Homoeopathic rhus toxicodendron in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Gemmell HA ; Jacobson BH ; Banfield K The effect of homoeopathic, Rhus Toxicodendron 6x on pain in three subjects with fibromyalgia was studied using a time-series design. The subjects rated and recorded their pain levels daily using a numerical value scale. Treatment was initiated following a sham treatment baseline establishement using a replicated AB design. Visual data analysis indicated that the treatment was ineffective. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Mar;21(1):2-6 Historical chiropractic part 2: research. Kleynhans AM. Historical Chiropractic deals with the systematic, scientific development of the discipline and is differentiated from chiropractic history or the history of chiropractic. A descriptive analysis is provided of research approaches in this field which are compared with those for other sciences and are analysed in chiropractic context. The problematic-historical or thematological approach is shown to be the most suitable. Anthropological, existential and phenomenological views of Historical Chiropractic are briefly addressed. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Mar;21(1):7-9 Preventative chiropractic: what justification? Jamison JR Preventative chiropractic is based upon scientifically untested theory. The continued clinical practice of preventative chiropractic by a number of Australian Chiropractors emphasises the need for scientific validation of this intervention. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Mar;21(1):10-2 Adolescent health care: chiropractic's investment in the future Ebrall PS. Some specific health needs of adolescents are identified, and the size of the adolescent market in Australia is given. The proportions of adolescents attending a sample of Victorian chiropractic clinics do not differ from those which could be expected. Chiropractors can therefore be considered well placed to improve the community's provision of preventive and curative health care to adolescents. Three proposals are made: first, that the time is right for a post graduate certification program in adolescent health care to be introduced for chiropractors, second, that the age range of adolescence be extended to include 10 to 24 years, and third, that it is appropriate for Victorian chiropractors to be utilised as part of any future implementation by government of health care strategies designed for adolescents. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Mar;21(1):13-9 Options for scientifically valid research. Bolton PS Chiropractic needs to undertake scientific research that meets generally accepted criteria. This can be encouraged in Australia by the introduction of formal PhD and Masters programs, collaboration between clinicians and scientists, and new standards of research being adopted by practitioners. Chiropractic J Aust 1991 Mar;21(1):20-1 Report from the Chiropractic Research Journal Editors' Council. Chiropractic Research Journal Editors Council. The Chiropractic Research Journal Editors Council (CRJEC) was formed to allow editors of the established and developing chiropractic research journals to meet regularly to discuss issues relating to publication ethics, policies and practices. This first report from the Council is designed to provide an historical overview of the origin of the Council, discuss the issues facing the Council, and report upon the results of the first meeting of the Council held on 10 May 1990. Issues discussed include membership, general manuscript criteria, publication standards, informed consent, peer review, indexing, subject headings, and role of the editor.
