Background and Aim: Chronic low Back Pain (CLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders with possible psychological consequences for the patients. This study aimed to review all evidence on the effectiveness of psychological interventions in improving the mental status of people with CLBP and providing recommendations for future therapeutic interventions. Methods and Materials/Patients: This systematic review was conducted on the articles published from January 2010 to December 2020. The keywords included “psychology”, “intervention”, “low back pain”, “chronic disease”, “quality of life”, “empowerment”, “psychotherapy”, “psychological interventions”, “clinical trials”, and “randomized clinical trials” in the indexing databases of Magiran, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Of the total 1740 articles found, 14 articles were selected for review. Results: The results showed that Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and its combination therapies with mindfulness techniques played an influential role in improving psychological status and quality of life, and reducing pain perception in CLBP patients. The lack of RCT (randomized controlled trial) research and follow-up to assess long-term outcomes are the main limitations of the studies conducted in Iran. Conclusion: It is recommended that psychological interventions be considered alongside medical therapies to improve CLBP patients’ adjustment to chronic condition and their quality of life. Researchers and therapists should consider treatment programs based on RCT plans and long-term follow-up.

Purpose: The present study was undertaken to find out the relationship among outcome variables as well as association between dependent variables with physical characteristics in low back pain (LBP) patients. Correlations between outcome variables [pain, back pressure changes (BPC), abdominal pressure changes (APC), walking, stairs climbing, stand ups, quality of life (QOL) and sexual frequency] of all LBP subjects before and after treatment were assessed. Regression analysis was used to estimate baseline BPC and APC of LBP subjects from their baseline demographic characteristics (age, height, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and pulse rate) and severity of pain. Methods: A total of 141 nonspecific chronic LBP patients were recruited. After baseline recording, all subjects were given trunk stabilization training for 20 regular days. After training, the follow-up was done at a gap of each 15 days up to 6 months (180 days). At the last follow-up session (180th day), the outcome variables were recorded again. Findings: The present study found an inverse relation between pain and muscle functions (BPC: r = -0.36; p < 0.01 and APC: r = -0.26; p < 0.01). This study also showed that BPC was more inversely related with the pain than APC. Conclusions: This study concludes that physical strength (BPC and APC) of LBP subjects is more closely associated with the pain than the functional ability (walking, stairs climbing and stand ups). This study also estimated (baseline or before treatment) BPC and APC in LBP subjects from their physical characteristics and pain severity.

Background: Stent-associated symptoms can have a significant impact on patient quality of life. Hematuria, urgency, frequency, dysuria, and both bladder and flank pain are the most prevalent symptoms related to indwelling ureteral stents. Among them irritative lower urinary tract symptoms and low back pain are more frequent. Despite the stent related symptoms, because of its importance stent is being kept in situ with varieties of medication. Several alpha-adrenergic blocker and antimuscarinic drugs are used to relief these symptoms like Tamsulosin, Solifenacin, Alphazosin etc. Both Tamsulosin and Solifenacin are not costly as use daily single dose. So combination of Tamsulosin and Solifenacin may act as a reliever of stent related symptoms and also cost effective. Methods and materials: For this purpose, a total of 126 patients having unilateral double-J ureteral stent for 7 days with stent related irritative LUTS and low back pain were included in this study. This hospital based prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out in Urology department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, during January 2014 to June 2015, to compare the irritative IPSS, improvement of quality of life score component of IPSS ,the low back pain score for double-J ureteral stent using Tamsulosin, Solifenacin and combination of both (Tamsulosin and Solifenacin) Results: Regarding the irritative sub group of International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was observed during 2nd and 4th weeks follow up IPSS was significantly (p<0.05) higher in solifenacin and Tamsulosin group with compared to Tamsulosin+Solifenacin group. During 4th weeks follow up the mean quality of life (QOL) score was significantly (p<0.05) higher in solifenacin group and Tamsulosin group with compared to Tamsulosin+Solifenacin group.During 2nd weeks and 4th weeks follow up visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAPS) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in solifenacin group followed by Tamsulosin group and Tamsulosin+Solifenacin group. Conclusion: Combined use of Tamsulosin and Solifenacin is more effective than use of single drug (either Tamsulosin or Solifenacin) in the treatment of ureteral double-J stent related irritative LUTS and low back pain.

Abstract BackgroundTo apply the Bio-Psych-Social (BPS) model into clinical practice, it is important not to focus on psychosocial domains only since biomedical factors can also contribute to chronic pain conditions. The cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is the management system based on the BPS model for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). ObjectivesTo compare CFT with the other interventions for CNSLBP regarding pain, disability/functional status, QoL and psychological factors. DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis. MethodLiterature Search was conducted in electronic search engines. Enrolled participants included 1) CNSLBP and 2) primary, secondary, or tertiary care patients. CFT was the interventions included. Comparisons were any types of treatment. ResultsThree studies met the eligibility criteria. The total number of participants was 336. For pain intensity, MD [95% CIs] was -2.78 [-2.78−0.02] and -1.01 [-1.92−-0.10] at intermediate and long term for two studies, respectively. About disability/functional status, SMD [95% CIs] was -0.76 [-1.46−-0.07]　at the intermediate for three studies and MD [95% CIs] was -0.84 [-11.47−-5.49] at long term for two studies. About fear of physical activity, MD [95% CIs] was -3.01 [-5.14−-0.88] and -3.56 [-6.43−-0.68] at intermediate and long term for two studies, respectively. No studies reported scores associated with QOL. All the quality of the evidence was very low. ConclusionsThree studies were included and the quality of all the evidence was very low. Although the study found statistically significant differences in some measures, the effectiveness of the CFT will need to be re-evaluated in the future.PROSPERO registration number CRD42020158182
