Muskelkrämpfe: Halbwissen versus Evidenz

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund Muskelkrämpfe sind weit verbreitet in der Bevölkerung, gerade auch bei Sportlern. Viele haben ihre Vorstellungen, was dagegen helfen könnte.

Ziel Abgleich zwischen den therapeutischen Vorstellungen der Menschen, vornehmlich Sportlern, was sie gemeinhin bei Muskelkrämpfen als hilfreich erachten und der durch Studien belegten Wirksamkeit.

Methode Literaturrecherche.

Ergebnisse Die Studienlage unterscheidet sich deutlich vom „Halbwissen“ der Teilnehmer.

Schlussfolgerung Mit Halbwissen sollte aufgeräumt werden, und aktuelles, wissenschaftlich belegtes Wissen muss sich, gerade auch über Multiplikatoren wie Trainer, Ärzte etc., in der Bevölkerung verbreiten.

Abstract

Background Muscle cramps are common in the population, especially in athletes. However, various ideas exist as to how to treat cramps.

Objective The aim of this investigation is to compare and contrast the common conceptions with the results of evidence-based studies.

Method Scientific literature research.

Results The knowledge of the population seems insufficient and does not reflect the current scientific evidence.

Conclusion It is necessary to spread current scientific knowledge among the population, especially via coaches and doctors acting as multipliers.
