Abstract:

Introduction: Backache is a common problem during pregnancy that is faced by almost one quarter of all pregnant womenworldwide. Objectives: To find an association between backache and pregnancy with respect to obesity and to evaluate the effect ofphysiotherapy for relief of pain. Methodology: This longitudinal observational & randomized control study was conducted on pregnantfemales for a period of six months. 150 females fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled into two groups i.e. obese patients (BMI>29.9) and non obese patients (BMI<29.9). All information was recorded on a Performa that was later entered and analyzed usingSPSS-11.5. Results: The mean age of all patients was 33.67±6.73 years with overall average gestational age of 27.47±5.19 weeks.Flexed posture was observed in 90(60%) patients and 60(40%) had very bad sitting habit. There were 80 (53.3%) obese and 70 (46.7%)non-obese patients. Lordosis was observed in 50 cases, straight spine was observed in 90 cases while 60 patients had no straight spine.st Most females reported that pain started during the 1 trimester (110) but only 40 females reported that they developed pain in the 2ndtrimester.100 females reported that pain was continuous while 50 had intermittent. There were 50 (33%) patients who had severebackache while 100 (66.7%) had worse possible pain which was regressed to no pain in 140(93.3%) patients at final follow up visit andonly 10 (6.7%) had moderate pain after physiotherapy. The difference between pre and post physiotherapy was statistically significant.Both obese and non-obese patients were reported to be benefited but better results were found in non-obese patients. Conclusions: Weconclude that physiotherapy is effective in reducing the backache in pregnant females and has no side effects on fetus and mother. Also,more effective results can be achieved through physiotherapy in non-obese patients compared to obese patients. Thus, Physiotherapycan be recommended as the first line treatment for pregnant females.

Abstract:

Background Postepidural backache is a common postoperative complaint after lumbar epidural anesthesia. Useful interventions to decrease the incidence of postepidural backache would be helpful. Methods We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind study to compare the effect of local addition of tenoxicam on the incidence of postepidural backache after nonobstetric surgery. One thousand unpremedicated ASA physical status I or II patients scheduled for hemorrhoidectomy were assigned randomly to tenoxicam or control groups. Patients in the control group received 25 ml lidocaine, 2%, with epinephrine 1:200,000 epidurally and 4 ml lidocaine, 1%, for local skin infiltration. Patients in the tenoxicam group received 25 ml lidocaine, 2%, with epinephrine 1:200,000 epidurally and 4 ml lidocaine, 1%, with tenoxicam (2 mg) 1:2,000 for local skin infiltration. Patients were interviewed at 24, 48, and 72 h postoperatively using a standard visual analog scale for evaluation of postepidural backache. A patient was considered to have postepidural backache when the postoperative visual analog scale score was higher than the preoperative score. Results The incidence of postepidural backache in patients in the control group for the 3 days were 22.8%, 17.4%, and 9.2%, all of which were significantly more frequent than observed in the patients in the tenoxicam group (6.8%, 4.0%, and 1.2%, P < 0.01). There was a significant association between backache and multiple attempts at epidural needle insertion. Conclusion In summary, the local addition of tenoxicam reduced the incidence and severity of postepidural backache.

Abstract:

Objective: To find out the difference in the backache when a 27G Quincke needle with no more than two attempts is used for spinal anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia. Study Design: Prospective comparative study. Place and Duration of Study: Anesthesia Department, Combined Military Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from Jun 2020 to May 2021. Methodology: A total of 150 patients were divided into two Groups. C-sections were performed under general and spinal anaesthesia in Group-GA and Group-SA, respectively. General anaesthesia was induced with intravenous anaesthetics following rapid sequence induction. The 27G Quincke needle was used for spinal anaesthesia with no more than two attempts. Post-operative follow-ups for backache were carried out at 24-hours, 1, 4 and 12 weeks. Results: At 24-hours post-operative follow-up, 8 patients from the GA-Group and 17 from the SA-Group had backache; the difference was significant (p-value of 0.049). At week-1, two patients from the GA-Group and five from the SA-Group complained of backache (p-value 0.246). Similarly, at week-4, only one patient from the GA Group and four from the SAGroup had backache (p-value 0.127). At the 12-week follow-up, only one patient complained of backache, and she belonged to the SA- Group (p-value 0.316). Conclusion: Spinal anesthesia results in a significantly high frequency of backache as compared to general anaesthesia in the immediate post-operative period; however, there is no long-term difference in backache.

Abstract:

Background: The hip joint and lumbar spine are both anatomically and functionally closely related as had shown by many authors. So the abnormality in one area can affect the other e.g. hip joint osteoarthritis can cause lumbar sagittal malalignment and backache.Objectives: is to see if there is significant improvement in backache after total hip replacement? And which degree of backache improvement is associated with significant changes in lumbar lordosis?Methods and patients: a prospective open trial study was performed on 30 patients who had severe hip osteoarthritis and chronic low back pain. Total hip replacement was performed to all patients. Backache and lumbar lordosis were measured by visual analogue scale and Cobb’s angle respectively both before and 6 months after surgery. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to grade of improvement in backache after surgery.Results: The improvement in low back pain after surgery was statistically significant for all patients and for each group separately, while the changes in lumbar lordosis were not statistically significant neither for all patients nor for any group separately.Conclusions: total hip replacement surgery has significant positive effect on backache. There is no significant correlation between improvement in backache and changes in lumbar lordosis.

Abstract:

Introduction. This study aims to investigate the effects of Kinesio banding on backache and flexibility in addition to exercise therapy for sedentary women with chronic mechanical backache. Material and methods. A total of 20 sedentary women participated in the study voluntarily. The women in the subject group were applied both Kinesio band and exercise, while the control group was applied only the same exercise program as the subject group. Results. The results of statistical analysis revealed that exercise and Kinesio banding created a more positive difference in flexibility and backache values in the subject group compared to the control group (p <0.05). It was determined that the application of the Kinesio band applied together with exercise is a more effective method in sedentary women with chronic backache. Conclusions. We think that continuing the study with more participants and for a long time will make significant contributions to the literature by producing more positive results. Keywords: Backache, Kinesio banding, Exercise, Flexibility, Sedentary women.

Abstract:

Objective: To identify the risk factors of chronic low backache in patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Rheumatology, Fuji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Nov 2018 to Apr 2019. Methodology: Patients of ages between 18-80 years of ages with mechanical low backache were selected excluding those with malignancy and inflammatory backache. Patient’s characteristics including gender, age, education, monthly income, smoking status, exercise, previous back trauma, spinal surgery, posture mostly adopted, sleeping material, body mass index (BMI), and co-morbidities were noted down. For assessment of disability and depression Quebec disability index and patient health questionnaire (PHQ9) were used. Results: This study included 155 patients with backache with mean age (in years) of 55.45 ± 10.772. Mean duration of backache was 4.78 ± 4.36 years. Most common risk factor for low backache was age >40 years present in 144 patients (92.9%). 136 patients (87.7%) were not doing regular physical exercise.62.5% patients (97) were uneducated and 90 patients (58%) had low income. 82 patients (52.9%) used soft sleeping material. By using Quebec disability index, 57 patients (36.7%) were classified as having severe disability. Mild depression was present in 75 patients (48.3%) when assessed on PHQ-9 scale. Conclusion: Back pain was caused by many factors. Lack of regular exercise and education, use of soft sleeping material and in appropriate sitting posture can be addressed by education of the patients.

Abstract:

Background: Vitamin D has a significant role to play in bone metabolism and neuromuscular function. Several researchers have indicated that vitamin D deficiency may be possibly related to chronic musculoskeletal pain including chronic low back pain (CLBP). Objectives of this present study were conducted to rule out the vitamin D deficiency in a patient can also be a cause of low backache other than various spinal disorders like PIVD, spondylolisthesis etc. Methods: A total of 50 patients, of any age who visited the Department of Orthopedics outpatient/Emergency, with chief complaint of low backache without any low backache disease like PIVD and spondylolisthesis etc. were thoroughly interviewed and examined for any concomitant pathological disease of spine. Patient’s Blood sample of about 5 ml with syringe of 10 cc. were taken and the serum vitamin D level was assayed by “direct competitive chemiluminescence immunoassay” (CLIA). Results: Out of 50 patients of low backache and vitamin D deficiency, 33 patients have good outcome in their pain after getting treatment in form of Vitamin D. Conclusions: We concluded that the vitamin D plays a major role in low backache and after treatment there is significant improvement in low backache.

Abstract:

Introduction: low back pain is basic medical issue in our general population,it influence our day by day life exercises and bargains our personal satisfaction. Intervertebraldisc herniation is one of the commonest reasons for backache and sciatica. Discectomy isthe essential treatment of decision for disc herniation. Objective: To determine the incidenceand indication of revision spine surgery after lumber discectomy. Study Design: Retrospectivestudy. Setting: Spine Surgery Unit of Central Military Hospital Rawalpindi. Period: Ten yearsfrom July 2007 to August 2017. Methods: Patients who presented with disc herniation for whichdiscectomy was done were included into this retrospective study. Patient’s statistic profile,indications, signs and imaging finding were recorded. Discectomy was performed throughone-sided Fenestration at symptomatic side. Post-operative patient’s changes was notedand recorded. Three hundred and fifty two patients were contemplated amid most recent tenyears. Results: out of 352 patients, 214 were male 138 were female patients; age ranged from20 to 70 years. 74(21.02 %) patients out of 352 again presented with severe backache andsciatica, recurrent disc herniation was confirmed on MRI lumbosacral. 46 (62.16%) out of 74patients were complaining of backache than sciatica, backache more severe on activity andrelieved on rest. 28(37.83%) out of 74 patients had sciatica than backache. TLIF was done in46 patients and remaining 28 patients treated with laminectomy and discectomy. Back painand sciatica was relieved in all patients (100%) after TLIF and discectomy and quality of lifeimproved.

Abstract:

Objective: To correspond clinical findings of patients with lower backache to those demonstrated at Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Lumbosacral spine. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital, Islamabad Pakistan, from Oct 2019 to Jan 2020. Methodology: All consecutive adult patients with lower backaches of more than one month duration were enrolled in the study. Detailed clinical history and examination were obtained. Pain scoring was done by visual analogue score, and a straight leg raise test was performed. Patients then underwent magnetic resonance imaging in the hospital, and findings were reported. Results: Mean age of the patients was 30.2±13.53 with male preponderance. The mean duration of symptoms was 2.3±2.34 years. According to the visual analogue score, most patients had a moderate pain scale. Seventy-six percent of patients had no sensory deficit; upon clinical examination, twenty-one had a loss of power. Upon Lasegue Test, the majority (43,48.9%), had pain between 30-70 of hip flexion. Conclusion: History and detailed clinical examination play an emphasising role in the treatment regimen of patients with lower backache, with special concern on the correlation of findings with Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the lumbosacral spine, thus alleviating morbidity of patients.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:-Backache is a common problem with about 70% of people in developed countries experience low back pain at some time in their lives. A number of studies done previously shows that there is high prevalence of depression in patients with chronic backache. This study was carried out to find out the prevalence of depression in patients with chronic backache in Nepalese subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS:-This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa, Nepal. Patients presenting to Orthopaedics OPD with history of backache lasting for more than 12 weeks were referred for psychiatric evaluation. One Hundred cases were included in the study based on inclusion / exclusion criteria in six months period (from 1st Jan 2019 to 30th June 2019). Detailed evaluation was done by a psychiatrist to find out the presence of depression. Diagnosis of depression was made based on ICD-10 DCR. Data was analysed using SPSS. RESULTS: Out of total 100 subjects, more than half (56%) were females. Majority of the subjects (61% ) were below 45 years of age. The average age of the subjects was 45 years minimum age being 16 and maximum 77. About 59% were also suffering from depressive disorder. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that significant number of patients with chronic backache attending OPD of tertiary care hospital suffers from depression. It is therefore essential to screen for depression in these patients.

Abstract:

We reported the case of a Pakistani young man, illegally residing in Italy, complaining for chronic backache. X-ray was negative, while the blood test revealed neutrophilic leukocytosis and an increase in inflammation markers. Tuberculin skin test was negative. He worsened despite of repeated cycles of analgesic therapy and fluoroquinolones. After 4 months a nuclear magnetic resonance suggested tubercular (TB) spondylitis whose etiology was confirmed by ex-juvantibus criteria. It is important to take TB in account when facing an immigrant suffering from backache, coming from a highly endemic area.
