Objective: To describe the chronic lower back pain functional profile in a population-based sample. Methods: A total of 2,297 individuals aged around ≥ 20 years were selected from 34 regions of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In order to characterize samples, sociodemographic data were collected. And, in order to describe functional profile, the body map and functional items were applied based on Oswestry questionnaire. Results: Between 28.6% and 68.8% of the population with CLBP presented disability, depending on the analyzed function. Chronic lower back pain was negatively associated with function in lifting objects (rarely, OR 2.39 IC 95%, 1.15-4.97) and remaining seated (OR 10.40 IC 95% 3.32- 32.46). In opposition to that, walking was associated to increased function (frequently, OR 0.47 IC 95% 0.30 – 0,72). Conclusions: Chronic lower back pain is frequently associated with disability. Lifting objects and remaining seated were the functional items that presented higher association with disability. Walking habits seem to be a protector from this disability in chronic lower back pain individuals.

Acupuncture has been popular in foreign countries in recent years, especially in the treatment of neck pain, lower back pain, and other neurological diseases. As a result, many countries have started to invite TCM teachers from China to train their medical workers in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture). The teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Moxibustion) in Myanmar has been carried out for 2 years. Through the feedback from students in the teaching process, this paper analyzes and summarizes the problems in the hope of drawing on and developing the overseas teaching system of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

Background. Massage therapies such as cupping are often applied in patients with chronic neck and back pain with the assumption that they can reduce increased tissue stiffness and, therefore, improve pain. The aim of this study was to clarify whether tissue stiffness is related to pain experience in patients with chronic (>3 months) back and neck pain and whether it can be altered by a cupping massage. Methods. The tissue stiffness of the point of subjectively felt maximum pain intensity of 40 patients with neck (n = 20) or lower back pain (n = 20) was measured by a myometer. Exact contralateral side served as an individual control. Side of higher stiffness was then treated with a cupping massage. 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes as well as 24 hours after treatment, tissue stiffness was measured again. Patients rated their pain on a standardized pain questionnaire (neck pain disability score (NDI) or Oswestry disability index (ODI), respectively) before and 24 hours after treatment. Results. Compared to the contralateral control side, the more painful side did not exhibit an increased stiffness of myofascial tissue before treatment (p=0.827). The tissue stiffness and the side difference between treated and nontreated control sides decreased significantly after cupping (p=0.002 and p=0.001, respectively) but returned to baseline after 24 hours. NDI and ODI scores significantly decreased 24 hours after cupping (NDI: p=0.012, ODI: p=0.002). Conclusion. Tissue stiffness might not be related to pain experience in patients with chronic neck and lower back pain. Trial registration: German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS00011281).
