76 patients with chronic low back pain were asked to complete the Pain Disability Index and a family history pain checklist. A significant positive relationship was found between severity of chronic pain disability and the number of chronic pain conditions in the patients' families of origin and genesis. These findings support the position that pain disability is learned from family members, but controlled research is needed before dismissing the possible role of genetic and other factors.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is an important health problem that may cause functional loss. Several back pain disability scales have been developed in different languages. OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluates the correlation between the Istanbul Low Back Pain Disability Index (ILBPDI) the Back Pain Functional Scale (BPFS) and other back pain disability scales in patients with mechanical low back pain. METHODS: Included in the study were 105 patients who presented to our outpatient clinics and who were diagnosed with mechanical low back pain. The ILBPDI, BPFS, Quebec back pain disability scale (QBPDS) and Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire (ODI) were administered to all participants, and Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were recorded. RESULTS: A strongly negative correlation was identified between ILBPDI and BPFS (p< 0.05), and a strongly positive correlation was noted between ILBPDI and QBPDS, ODI and VAS. CONCLUSION: A strong correlation exists between ILBPDI and BPFS, and a further strong correlation between ILBPDI ODI and QBPDS. These questionnaires can be used interchangeably to evaluate disability associated with chronic mechanical low back pain.

BACKGROUND: Lumbosacral radiculopathy is associated with a broad range of complaints; therefore, specific disability measurements should be validated for this condition. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Istanbul Low Back Pain Disability Index (ILBPDI) in lumbosacral radiculopathy. METHODS: Patients diagnosed with radiculopathy caused by a disc herniation were included. Disability and quality of life were evaluated with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short Form-36 (SF-36), respectively. The severity of low back pain and leg pain were evaluated using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The reliability of the ILBPDI was assessed using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The relation of ILBPDI with SF-36, ODI, NRS-back and NRS-leg scores were analyzed for convergent validity. The relation of the ILBPDI with age, body mass index (BMI), and disease duration was analyzed for divergent validity. Factor analysis was used to establish the internal construct validity. RESULTS: One hundred patients (55% female) were included in this study. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.92. The ILBPDI was found to be correlated with the ODI (rho: 0.619, p< 0.005) and NRS-leg score (rho: 0.597, p< 0.005), but not with NRS-back score (rho: 0.164, p> 0.05). The ILBPDI was significantly correlated with physical functioning (rho: -0.638, p< 0.005), bodily pain (rho: -0.488, p< 0.005), general health (rho: -0.264, p= 0.008) and social function (rho: -0.372, p< 0.005) subscales of SF-36 (convergent validity). The ILBPDI was not correlated with age, BMI, or disease duration (divergent validity). Factor analysis showed that the scale had three-factors which were correlated to bending forward, standing, and sitting activities. CONCLUSION: The ILBPDI is a valid and reliable instrument in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy.

Hot Pack

Objectives Low back pain (LBP) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition. Superficial heat has been utilized for decades to alleviate the symptoms; however, there has been no study of the effect of rice grain and Thai herbal hot packs using a microwave method in persons with low back pain. The purpose of this study was to compare pain scale scores and back extensibility with rice grain and Thai herbal hot packs with standard hot packs in individuals with LBP. Methods Forty participants with LBP were stratified using a random sampling method into two groups: a rice grain and Thai herbal hot pack group (n=20) and a standard hot pack group (n=20). Twenty-minute duration treatments were given. Each patient was followed-up 6 times (3 times per week for 2 weeks). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) and back extensibility were measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Thai Oswestry low back pain disability index. Results VAS scores and the Thai Oswestry low back pain disability index in both groups were reduced significantly (p < 0.05). PPT and back extensibility were significantly increased after rice grain and Thai herbal hot pack and hot pack treatment (p < 0.05). After treatments, PPT with rice grain and Thai herbal hot pack was significantly higher than the standard hot pack group. (p < 0.05). Conclusions Rice grain and Thai herbal hot pack may be considered as an alternative method for relieving pain and improving pressure pain threshold and back extensibility in persons with LBP.
