Objective. This prospective observational study of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Oswestry Disability Index, Lithuanian version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain was performed to evaluate their effectiveness in the additional preoperative screening of patients with disc herniation disease. Patients and methods. In the present study, we investigated a cohort of 100 patients with lumbar disc herniation causing low back pain and the second one of 100 patients with nonspecific low back pain by applying physical activity, pain scales and Short-Form 36 General Health Questionnaire. Results. The quantitative analysis of SF-36 domain scores showed the substantial differences in both examined (herniated and control) groups. In the present study, we estimated moderate but statistically significant (P<0.05) correlations between the bodily pain domain scores and assessment of back and leg pain on the VAS, as well as between the physical function and walking/standing ability (Oswestry). According to appropriate pain assessment instruments (Lithuanian version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire), qualitative and quantitative analysis of the preoperative patients was performed. Conclusion. The provided methodology could be used in population-based studies or in clinical samples that focus on specific impairments and seek to control the pain frequency and intensity, for example, follow-up assessments testing the effectiveness of surgical procedures performed, and to elicit the pathways leading to other impairments.

Background: Persistent low back pain is a significant problem worldwide. Early identification and treatment of individuals at high risk for persistent low back pain have been suggested as strategies to decrease the rate of disability associated with this condition. Purpose: To examine and compare demographic, pain-related, psychological, and somatosensory characteristics in a cohort of participants with acute low back pain who later went on to experience persistent low back pain or whose pain resolved within the first 6 weeks after initial onset. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted among men and women 18–50 years of age who had an acute episode of low back pain. Study questionnaires were administered to collect demographic information and measures of pain, coping, reactivity, mood, work history and satisfaction, and disability. A standardized protocol of quantitative sensory testing was performed on each participant at the painful area of their low back and at a remote site on their arm. Results: The sample consisted of 48 participants, of whom 19 went on to develop persistent low back pain and 29 resolved. Compared to the resolved group, the persistent low back pain group was significantly older and had a lower level of educational attainment, a higher body mass index, and higher mean “least” pain score on the Brief Pain Inventory–Short Form. Significantly higher thermal detection thresholds at the painful and remote sites as well as signs of central sensitivity differentiated the persistent pain group from the resolved group during the acute stage of low back pain.

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the effect of kinesiology taping (KT) on lumbar proprioception, pain, and functional disability in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods Thirty individuals with nonspecific CLBP participated in this double-blinded, randomized clinical trial from July 2017 to September 2018. The participants were randomized into two groups: KT (n = 15) and placebo group (n = 15). KT was applied with 15–25% tension for 72 h, and placebo taping was used without tension. Lumbar repositioning error was measured by a bubble inclinometer at three different angles (45° and 60° flexion, and 15° extension) in upright standing. Pain and disability were assessed by the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire and Oswestry Disability Index, respectively. All measurements were recorded at baseline and 3 days after taping. Results Pain and disability scores reduced 3 days after taping in the KT group with large effect sizes (p < 0.05). Only the total score of pain was significantly different between the groups 3 days after taping and improved more in the KT group with a large effect size (p < 0.05). However, lumbar repositioning errors were similar between the groups after 3 days (p > 0.05). Also, only constant error of 15° extension showed a moderate correlation with disability (r = 0.39, p = 0.02). Conclusion KT can decrease pain and disability scores after 3 days of application. Although placebo taping can reduce pain, the effect of KT is higher than placebo taping. The findings do not support the therapeutic effect of KT and placebo taping as a tool to enhance lumbar proprioception in patients with nonspecific CLBP. Trial registration The study prospectively registered on 21.05.2018 at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials: IRCT20090301001722N20.

Object. Lumbar radiculopathy secondary to foraminal entrapment can be treated by unilateral removal of the overlying pars interarticularis. The authors prospectively evaluated the outcome after this procedure. Methods. Thirty-six consecutive patients underwent unilateral resection of the pars interarticularis between August 1999 and July 2002. In 18 patients acute foraminal disc herniations compressed the nerve root against the superior pedicle; in the other 18 foraminal stenosis was secondary to degenerative changes. All patients, at each visit, completed the following questionnaires: visual analog scale for overall, leg, and back pain; the Prolo Functional Economic Rating scale; and the Pain Rating Index (PRI) of the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. At 1 year, leg pain improved in 33 patients (91%). Low-back pain appeared or worsened in eight patients (22%; one in the acute herniation group and seven in the chronic degenerative group). Only one patient required lumbar fusion for pain. The Prolo economic and function scores improved in 21 (58%) and 27 (75%) patients, respectively. The PRI scores improved in 30 cases (83%). No spondylolisthesis was observed at any level at which resection had been performed. Conclusions. Unilateral removal of the pars interarticularis is effective in relieving lumbar radicular symptoms in patients with intraforaminal entrapment. The incidence of low-back pain in patients with acute foraminal disc herniations does not increase as a result of this procedure. In patients with degenerative foraminal stenosis, unilateral resection of the pars interarticularis may be a better alternative to facetectomy and segmental fusion. This procedure may be a useful tool in spine surgery.
