General Exercise

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the major concerns of the current health care. The guidelines for chronic LBP recommend traditional Chinese exercise as an effective treatment. As one of the representatives of traditional Chinese exercise, Wuqinxi has been famous in China for its effects on improving health and treating chronic diseases for thousands of years. The objectives of the study were to assess the effects of Wuqinxi in the patients with chronic LBP on pain intensity, trunk muscle strength, and quality of life. The primary outcome measure was assessed by the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), including the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Present Pain Intensity (PPI) as the subtables. The effects of Wuqinxi on the quality of life were also assessed by the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from physical component summary (PCS), mental component summary (MCS), and sleep quality. Besides, the electrical activities of the rectus abdominis (RA), obliquus externus abdominis (OEA), lumbar erector spinae (ES), and multifidus (MF) were assessed by integrated electromyogram (iEMG) after the end of the intervention. Both the groups showed statistically significant improvement in SF-MPQ, SF-36, PSQI, and iEMG at 12 weeks and 24 weeks when compared with baseline (P<0.05). However, Wuqinxi demonstrated better effects in SF-MPQ and MCS after 24 weeks of intervention compared with the general exercise (P<0.05). The patients in the Wuqinxi group (WQXG) also showed a significantly higher iEMG on OEA than the general exercise group (GEG) in 30°/s and 90°/s (P<0.05). Our results showed that Wuqinxi had better effects on chronic LBP for a long time compared with general exercise, including pain intensity and quality of life. Thus, Wuqinxi should be recognized as a possible standalone therapy and self-management skill in chronic LBP, which is suitable for long-term practice.

Frailty Criteria

The purpose of this secondary analysis was to explore the differences in proportions of frailty criteria, pre-frailty, and frailty in older adults with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP). Among individuals with CLBP, we also explored whether the proportions of these outcomes differed based on pain intensity status. Using measures to determine weakness, slowness, and exhaustion, we determined that older adults with CLBP had higher proportions of frailty criteria and were more likely to be classified as pre-frail or frail. Older adults with high intensity CLBP had greater proportions of weakness, exhaustion, and pre-frailty/frailty compared to those with low intensity CLBP. These preliminary findings suggest older adults with CLBP may be at a higher risk for frailty than those without pain; pain intensity may be an important factor in assessing risk of frailty in this population.

Abstract Objective To examine epidural fat and its relationship to pain, physical function, and disability among older adults with chronic low back pain, chronic low back pain plus leg pain, and controls. Design Cross-sectional, comparative study. Setting Standardized examinations were conducted in a research laboratory, and magnetic resonance images were obtained. Subjects A total of 93 adults age 60 to 85 years (24 with chronic back pain, 25 with chronic back pain plus leg pain, and 44 controls). Methods Reliability for assessment of epidural fat diameter, averaged across spinal levels, was established (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.95). Linear regression was used to explore how epidural fat diameter related to self-reported (Short Form-36 Health Survey: physical component summary score) and performance-based (stair climb performance) measures of physical function among adults with chronic back pain with and without leg pain, as compared with controls, while controlling for age, sex, and body mass index. Associations between epidural fat and pain intensity and low back pain–related disability were also explored (P ≤ 0.050). Results Epidural fat helped explain self-reported function (P < 0.001); adults with axial low back pain (LBP) may have a relationship between epidural fat and self-report function that is different from controls (P = 0.015). Relationships between epidural fat and stair performance were significantly different from controls for those with LBP (P = 0.000) but not for those with LBP plus leg pain (P = 0.366). Relationships between epidural fat and pain intensity and/or disability were not found. Conclusions Increased epidural fat may help explain better function among older adults with chronic axial back pain, but not among those who also report leg pain.
