The Influence of Vertebral Mobility on Low Back Pain in Patients With Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral...

Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture

Many patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture (acute OVFs) admitted because of low back pain. But there are only part of patients with acute OVFs, because some patients do not have low back pain although OVFs occurred.

The Role of Lumbar Multifidus Characteristics in the Development of Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain

Low back pain (LBP) is a severe epidemic in the world. Despite its high prevalence, 90% of the cases have no identifiable cause. Approximately 44% of them experience recurrent LBP within one year and 10% of them develop chronic LBP that lasts for three months or more. Mechanically, the lumbar spine is unstable and requires spinal muscle to maintain spinal stability and to prevent injuries. Lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle is thought to be the major spinal stabilizer responsible for spinal stability and spinal proprioception. Prior studies have revealed that increased fat infiltration, atrophy or activation deficits of LM in patients with LBP as compared to asymptomatic individuals. Unfortunately, inconsistent findings have also been reported. Although prior research attempted to determine if abnormal LM characteristics can inform clinical decision-making, their results are limited because they only investigated a single LM characteristic at a time, which might not reflect the actual LM condition. Further, many studies adopted cross-sectional design that could not reveal the casual relations between abnormal LM characteristics and LBP. As such, the current study aims to identify specific LM characteristics that can predict new episode of LBP in asymptomatic individuals, and recurrent/chronic LBP in individuals with LBP at baseline.

The Quality of Physiotherapy in Low Back Pain Patients in Central Finland

Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. In the Finnish Health 2000 survey the incidence of low back pain was 10% in men and 11% in women. Several evidence-based rehabilitation guidelines recommend exercise therapy treatment of chronic back pain. However, there are no studies in chronic low back pain patients concerning the assessment of the content and quality of exercise modalities adviced in clinical practise. The aim of this study is to investigate the content and quality of physiotherapy management and advise in chronic low back pain patients in Central Finland.

Turkish Version of Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire

Chronic Low-back PainNeck Pain

The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was first developed in English to test whether healthcare staff and patients could exactly understand pain neurophysiology. This questionnaire which contains 19 items was developed from the exam questions of students interested in post-graduate pain medicine. Catley et al. (2013) investigated the psychometric properties of the modified Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire with a few word differences from the original version by conducting a rash analysis on 300 patients with chronic spinal pain. Acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the questionnaire were recorded. However, it was stated that 7 items negatively affect psychometric properties of the questionnaire. As a result, the author concluded that the questionnaire had sufficient psychometric properties for use in chronic spinal pain subjects, but further studies were needed. The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was used to measure a knowledge about pain in different studies. The validity and reliability studies of the Dutch, French and Brazlian Portuguese versions of the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire were conducted in the literature. The aim of our study was to translate the Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire into Turkish language and to investigate its psychometric properties.

Clinical, Morphological and Functional Success Predictors Following Lumbar Spinal Surgery in Patients...

Low Back Pain

The long term goal of this project is dual fold. First, the investigators wish to derive, validate and then test the impact of a clinical prediction rule to determine which patients who suffer from CLBP with degenerative changes of the lumbar spine and referred pain to the legs are likely to require surgery and have successful outcomes in the long term. Second, the investigators would like to establish robust methodology and statistical analysis guidelines for creating clinical prediction rules in physical therapy research. This observational cohort project is a first step towards those goals. Here the investigators specifically aim to identify personal, behavioral, psychological, morphological, and physical factors that can predict the need for surgery as well as level of participation restriction in patients who suffer from CLBP with degenerative conditions of the lumbar spine and referred pain to the legs. The investigators will also explore which parameters can predict success after 1 month, 6 and 12 months in patients who underwent decompression/fusion surgery.

Epidemiology of Patients Consulting for Original LBP Spinal Adult Emergency

Lumbar Pain

Lumbar pain is an extremely common complaint in general population. The direct and indirect costs incurred in are a real public health problem. Cohort studies show that improving symptoms after consultation for lumbar pain is insufficient, but there are few data on emergency medical and surgical services in France. In order to reflect on areas for improvement the investigators to carry out an inventory of consultations for lumbar pain emergencies of Hautepierre Hospital.
