Prevention And Treatment

Abstract Background: Chronic low back pain is a common disease in clinic. The prevention and treatment of this disease requires a great deal of medical care resources, which is now the third medical economic burden in China. Although non-steroidal analgesics have been shown to be effective for chronic low back pain, considering the obvious side effects of these drugs, more and more patients are inclined to employ non-drug therapies. Typical examples are exercise therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Exercise therapy of traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of non-drug therapy in China, such as sinew-strengthening exercise (SSE). Originating from traditional Chinese medicine exercise therapy, it has long been used for the prevention and treatment of chronic low back pain in Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SGH), but it has not been validated by clinical trials. In this trial, we will seek to determine whether SSE is an effective and safe treatment option for persons with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) by comparing it with CBT and explore a new method to CNLBP. Methods/Design: In this trial, we will randomize 480 adults with CNLBP to CBT and SSE arms (240 per group). Participants in both groups will be followed for 52 weeks after randomization with home practice. Interviewers will assess outcomes 4, 8, 12, 26 and 52 weeks postrandomization. The primary measure instrument will be Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) with 26-week follow-up being the primary endpoint. Discussion: If SSE is found to be an effective treatment option for patients with chronic back pain, it will become a meritorious addition to the current limited treatment approaches available to patients with significant psychosocial contributors to their pain.

BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is a very common and disabling condition experienced by individuals during their lifetime. However, the causes of low back pain may vary and include musculoskeletal impairments, biomechanical abnormalities, gait deviations, primary medical causes, and deleterious or excessive activity.1 The different levels at which amputation is done in the lower limb are hip disarticulation, transfemoral amputation (above knee), knee disarticulation, transtibial amputation (below knee), ankle disarticulation and transmetatarsal amputation. Lower limb amputation (LLA) is known to cause LBP and may result in functional disability in lower limb amputees. Different parameters such as level of amputation, use of prosthesis etc. affect low back pain in amputees. The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of low back pain and its correlation with functional disability in patients with lower limb amputation. METHODS This is a community based observational study. 41 participants were included in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire including the demographic information of each participant, pain assessment and revised Oswestry low back pain disability (RODQ) questionnaire to assess functional disability. RESULTS The study revealed that the prevalence of the reported back pain in the studied sample was 60.9 %. In 60 % of the patients, the Oswestry disability index depicted moderate disability. CONCLUSIONS The study concludes that low back pain is a significant problem in lower limb amputees. Several factors such as level of amputation, age, time since amputation put the lower limb amputees at a risk of developing back pain. Back pain intensity is important to assess the back pain related functional disability. KEY WORDS Amputation, Low Back Pain, Disability, Prosthesis
