CCGI Best Practice Collaborators
In April 2016, CCGI Opinion Leaders were joined by a new team of CCGI Best Practice Collaborators. These are influential evidence-informed clinicians recently nominated by their colleagues in a nationwide survey. They are assisting Opinion Leaders in their area with reaching out to other chiropractors and teaching them about critical thinking, proper interpretation of evidence-informed clinical practice guidelines, and evidence-informed practice in general.
CCGI is delighted to have them on board and looks forward to collaborating with them to take the best practices forward in Canada.

Cervicogenic and Tension-Type Headaches Care Pathway
Date of last update: November, 2024
Development and Evidence Selection
The pathway integrates guidance from guidelines evaluated through the AGREE II tool, systematic reviews assessed with AMSTAR, clinical textbooks, and curricula from accredited institutions.
-
Guideline and evidence selection: Treatment recommendations are based on broad literature searches to capture current guidelines. High-quality systematic reviews were used when guidelines were unavailable.
-
Consistent recommendations: Treatments reflect consistent recommendations across multiple guidelines and systematic reviews, demonstrating evidence of benefit or harm.
-
Inconsistent or unsupported recommendations: Conflicting or evolving recommendations are addressed in these notes to focus on well-supported, evidence-driven practice.
-
Knowledge user input: Input from clinical leaders, educators, and researchers, ensures practical alignment with current evidence.
-
Updates: This pathway is updated to reflect evolving evidence, with changes communicated through social media and other channels.
Search Strategy Overview
-
Primary sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Guidelines International Network (GIN), and NICE guidelines were used to identify relevant guidelines and reviews.
-
Timeframe: Searches are limited to guidelines and reviews published within the last 10- 15 years to ensure recommendations reflect the most recent and clinically relevant evidence.
-
Search terms: Tailored to each care pathway topic, combining relevant conditions (e.g., "low back pain", "shoulder pain") with terms such as "guideline" or "systematic review".
-
Search limits: Only the top results were reviewed in each database to focus on relevant sources (e.g., first 50-100 results).
-
Manual additions: Contributions from knowledge user networks to ensure inclusion of important guidelines.
-
Documentation: Search terms, sources, and critical appraisals are documented for transparency.
