We aimed to demonstrate the antalgic effectiveness of ScenarTM (Self-Controlled Electro Neuro Adaptative Regulation) in patients experiencing low back and neck pain. Sixty patients were included and equally assigned by randomization to a Scenar-On group and to a Scenar-Off group (sham group). All patients received a 20 min application of ScenarTM on the area where they experienced pain. The pain at rest and during movement and the sensation of stiffness were assessed using a numeric rating scale at baseline, immediately after the session and 24 h after the session. The patients’ characteristics at entry were similar between groups. The pain at rest decreased after the session in both groups (from 8 (4) to 5.0 (3) in the Scenar-Off group, p = 0.0001, and from 7 (3) to 4 (4) in the Scenar-On group, p < 0.0001). The difference was not statistically significant for the groups (p = 0.22). Similar results were observed during movement, but the sensation of stiffness was not modified. Such beneficial results did not last until the next day. No undesirable major effects were noticed. Our study does not support the fact that one ScenarTM session improves low back and neck pain better than a sham session.

Background and Objectives: Currently, few studies have reported the effects of opioids during continuous epidural infusion (CEI) to control pain owing to herpes zoster (HZ). This study aimed to retrospectively compare the effectiveness of epidural opioids in the treatment of acute HZ pain. Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records of 105 patients who were divided into two groups: R group (CEI with ropivacaine) and RF group (CEI with ropivacaine and fentanyl). Clinical efficacy was evaluated using the numeric rating scale (NRS) score for 6 months after the procedures. We compared the percentage of patients with complete remission in each group. We investigated the complication rates during CEI. Results: No significant differences in the NRS scores were observed between the two groups in the 6-month period. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for patients included in the complete remission was 0.6 times lower in the RF group than in the R group (95% confidence interval: 0.22–1.71, p = 0.35). The OR for complications during CEI was higher in the RF group than in the R group. However, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusions: No difference was observed in the management of HZ pain and the prevention of postherpetic neuralgia between the two groups. The incidence of complications tended to be higher in the RF group than in the R group.

Context: A simulated horseback riding (SHR) exercise is effective for improvement of pain and functional disability, but its comparative effectiveness with the other is unknown. Objective: The authors aimed to demonstrate the effect of a SHR exercise in people with chronic low back pain. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Settings: Community and university campus. Participants: A total of 48 participants with chronic low back pain were divided into 2 groups, and SHR exercises (n = 24) or stabilization (STB) exercises (n = 24) were performed. Interventions: The exercises were performed for 30 minutes, 2 days per week for 8 weeks. Main Outcome Measures: Numeric rating scale, functional disabilities (Oswestry disability index and Roland–Morris disability), and fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) scores were measured at baseline and at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months. Results: A 2-way repeated analysis of variance identified that between-group comparisons showed significant differences in the FABQ related to work scale (F = 21.422; P = .01). There were no significant differences in the numeric rating scale (F = 1.696; P = .21), Oswestry disability index (F = 1.848; P = .20), Roland–Morris disability (F = 0.069; P = .80), and FABQ related to physical scale (F = 1.579; P = .24). In within-group comparisons, both groups presented significant differences in numeric rating scale (both SHR and STB after 4 wk), Oswestry disability index (both SHR and STB after 6 mo), and Roland–Morris disability (SHR after 6 mo and STB after 8 wk) compared with baseline values. In FABQ-related physical (SHR after 4 wk) and work scales (SHR after 6 mo), there were only significant differences in the SHR compared with baseline values. Conclusions: SHR exercise for 8 weeks had a greater effect than STB exercise for reducing work-related FABQ. The SHR exercise performed in a seated position could substantially decrease pain-related fear disability in young adults with chronic low back pain.

Low back pain (LBP) merupakan sebuah sindrom klinis ditandai dengan timbulnya gejala nyeri di sekitar punggung bawah yang tanpa atau dapat disertai penjalaran pada tungkai bawah. Posisi tidak ergonomis seperti membungkuk, memiringkan badan, dan posisi menggapai atau berlutut yang dapat menyebabkan beberapa dampak, salah satunya LBP. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis hubungan postur tubuh dan lama berdiri dengan kejadian LBP pada pekerja bidang produksi dan logistik di Cikarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan analitik observasional dengan desain penelitian potong lintang karena membahas dua variabel (independen dan dependen) selanjutnya diobservasi atau diukur hanya sekali pada setiap variabel dalam waktu yang sama. Sampel penelitian berjenis kelamin lakilaki, berjumlah 62 responden, berusia 18-40 tahun dengan kata lain termasuk kriteria inklusi dan teknik pengambilan sampel berupa simple random sampling. Analisis postur tubuh menggunakan Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), untuk lokasi serta pengukuran intensitas nyeri LBP menggunakan kuesioner Nordic Body Map (NBM) dan Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), analisis bersifat kuantitatif karena didasarkan pada skala yang tersedia pada kategori setiap instrumen penelitian. Hasil uji Fisher hubungan postur tubuh dengan kejadian LBP diperoleh nilai signifikansi p=1,000 (p> 0,05) dan untuk lama berdiri dengan kejadian LBP didapatkan nilai signifikansi p=0,067 (p> 0,05). Kesimpulan hasil tersebut tidak terdapat hubungan antara postur tubuh dan lama berdiri dengan kejadian LBP pada pekerja. Hal ini dapat dipengaruhi usia pekerja yang dominan termasuk kategori usia produktif sehingga sifat fisiologis otot masih sangat menunjang produktivitas kerja. Selain itu disela-sela kegiatan, para pekerja dapat leluasa melakukan peregangan minimal pada tubuhnya sehingga kekakuan pada otot di sekitar punggung bawah dapat dihindari.

This observational study aimed at investigating pain in stroke patients with upper limb spastic dystonia. Forty-one consecutive patients were enrolled. A 0–10 numeric rating scale was used to evaluate pain at rest and during muscle tone assessment. Patients were asked to indicate the most painful joint at passive mobilization (shoulder, elbow, wrist-fingers). The DN4 questionnaire was administered to disclose neuropathic pain. All patients were assessed just before and 1 month after incobotulinumtoxin-A treatment. Pain was present in 22 patients, worsened or triggered by passive muscle stretching. DN4 scored < 4 in 20 patients. The most painful joints were wrist–fingers in 12 patients, elbow in 5 patients and shoulder in the remaining 5 patients. Both elbow and wrist–fingers pain correlated with muscle tone. BoNT-A treatment reduced pain in all the joints, including the shoulder. We discussed that nociceptive pain is present in a vast proportion of patients with upper limb spastic dystonia. BoNT-A treatment reduced both spastic dystonia and pain in all the joints but the shoulder, where the effect on pain could be mediated by the reduction of pathological postures involving the other joints.
