Background: A previous study examined the relationship between the sacral inclination angle (SIA), lumbosacral angle (LSA) and sacral horizontal angle (SHA) and spinal mobility in acute low back pain and chronic low back pain patients. We chose to investigate the lumbar lordosis angle, segmental lumbar lordosis angle, SIA, LSA and SHA in acute and chronic low back pain (LBP) patients as well as the correlation between spinal stability and these angles. Objectives: To investigate the biomechanics of the lumbosacral spine region in acute and chronic LBP patients, as well as to examine the correlation between spinal stability and lumbosacral angles. Study Design: Randomized controlled evaluation Setting: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic Methods: Sixty participants with LBP were recruited and categorized as either acute LBP (pain < 3 months) or chronic LBP (pain > 6 months), with 30 subjects in each group. All subjects underwent standing, lateral lumbosacral x-rays, which were analyzed for lumbar stability, SIA, LSA, SHA, lumbar lordosis angle and segmental lumbar lordosis angles. Results: The mean age of the ALBP subjects was 41.00 ± 11.63 (18 – 66) and that of the chronic LBP subjects 49.26 ± 15.6 (22-74), with females comprising 50% of the acute LBP group and 73.3% of the chronic LBP group. Lumbar stability was observed in 62.1% of acute LBP patients and 36.8% of chronic LBP patients. A statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of age, gender, and lumbar stability. There was no statistical difference regarding SIA, LSA, SHA, total and segmental lordosis angles between acute and chronic LBP patients (p>0.05). Conclusion: We were unable to find a difference between the radiological values for the shape of the SIA, LSA, SHA, and total and segmental lordosis as noted on screening x-ray techniques regarding the occurrence of acute or chronic LBP, but a statistically significant difference was found for lumbar stability. Further extensive studies are needed to examine lumbar stability and its relationship between angles of lumbosacral region.

Many treatment options for chronic low back pain are available, including varied forms of electric stimulation. But little is known about the electricity effect between electro-acupuncture and pulsed radiofrequency. The objective of this study is to assess the difference in effectiveness of pain relief between pulsed radiofrequency and electro-acupuncture. Visual analog score (VAS) pain score, the Oswestry disability index (ODI) to measure a patient's permanent functional disability, and Short form 36 (SF-36) which is a survey used in health assessment to determine the cost-effectiveness of a health treatment, were used as rating systems to measure the pain relief and functional improvement effect of pulsed radiofrequency and electro-acupuncture, based on the methodological quality of the randomized controlled trials, the relevance between the study groups, and the consistency of the outcome evaluation. First, the baseline status before therapy shows no age and gender influence in the SF-36 and VAS score but it is significant in the ODI questionnaire. From ANOVA analyses, it is apparent that radiofrequency therapy is a significant improvement over electro-acupuncture therapy after one month. But electro-acupuncture also showed functional improvement in the lumbar spine from the ODI. This study provides sufficient evidence of the superiority of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy for low back pain relief compared with both electro-acupuncture (EA) therapy and the control group. But the functional improvement of the lumbar spine was proved under EA therapy only. Both therapies are related to electricity effects.
