At present, degenerative dystrophic disease of intervertebral disks and lumbar back pain associated with this condition constitute a most serious medical, social and economic problem. This article was designed to consider underwater spine traction as a drug-free treatment for low back pain. The literature review includes the historical milestones and current concepts of traction therapy. The paper includes the analysis of the long-established clinical notions having the influence on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment and proposes the new up-to-date approach to the investigation of the pathological condition being condidered and the method for its therapy.

Using glycosaminoglycan Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (gagCEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this study comparatively evaluated the GAG contents of lumbar intervertebral disks (IVDs) of patients with non-specific low back pain (nsLBP), radiculopathy, and asymptomatic volunteers to elucidate the association of clinical manifestation and compositional correlate. A total of 18 patients (mean age 57.5 ± 22.5 years) with radiculopathy, 16 age-matched patients with chronic nsLBP and 20 age-matched volunteers underwent standard morphologic and compositional gagCEST MRI on a 3T scanner. In all cohorts, GAG contents of lumbar IVDs were determined using gagCEST MRI. An assessment of morphologic IVD degeneration based on the Pfirrmann classification and T2-weighted sequences served as a reference. A linear mixed model adjusted for multiple confounders was used for statistical evaluation. IVDs of patients with nsLBP showed lower gagCEST values than those of volunteers (nsLBP: 1.3% [99% confidence intervals (CI): 1.0; 1.6] vs. volunteers: 1.9% [99% CI: 1.6; 2.2]). Yet, IVDs of patients with radiculopathy (1.8% [99% CI: 1.4; 2.1]) were not different from patients with nsLBP or volunteers. In patients with radiculopathy, IVDs directly adjacent to IVD extrusions demonstrated lower gagCEST values than distant IVDs (adjacent: 0.9% [99% CI: 0.3; 1.5], distant: 2.1% [99% CI: 1.7; 2.5]). Advanced GAG depletion in nsLBP and directly adjacent to IVD extrusions in radiculopathy indicates close interrelatedness of clinical pathology and compositional degeneration.
