The impact of low back pain on health-related quality of life in old age

The aim of a recent study published in the European Spine Journal, was to investigate the effects of low back pain (LBP), i.e., type of symptoms, activity limitations, frequency, duration, and severity on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a sample of 707 community-dwelling men and women aged ≥ 65 years living in Switzerland.

The study is part of a larger survey conducted in Switzerland on a sample of older adults selected randomly from population records, stratified by age and sex.

The Standardized Back Pain Definition was used to investigate LBP, and HRQoL was assessed by means of the EQ-5D, including Health Utility Index (HUI) measures.

The study concluded that these results provide further insight into the impact of qualitative aspects of LBP and in particular the importance of radiating leg pain and pain frequency and duration.

While LBP-related activity limitations had little impact on both self-rated overall health and HUI, radiating leg pain and pain frequency and duration were associated with significantly decreased scores on both dimensions.

Manipulation and mobilization for treating chronic low back pain

Mobilization and manipulation therapies are widely used to benefit patients with chronic low back pain. However, questions remain about their efficacy, dosing, safety, and how these approaches compare with other therapies.

A recent study, published in The Spine Journal, aims to determine the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of various mobilization and manipulation therapies for treatment of chronic low back pain.

The present study measures self-reported pain, function, health-related quality of life, and adverse events.

Fifty-one trials were included in the systematic review. Nine trials (1,176 patients) provided sufficient data and were judged similar enough to be pooled for meta-analysis.

Studies comparing manipulation or mobilization with sham or no treatment were too few or too heterogeneous to allow for pooling as were studies examining relationships between dose and outcomes.

Few studies assessed health-related quality of life. Twenty-six of 51 trials were multimodal studies and narratively described.

Physical activity level as a predictor of healthy and chronic disease-free life expectancy between ages 50 and 75

Physical activity promotes healthy aging. However, little is known about the relationship between physical activity levels and healthy and chronic disease-free life expectancy (LE).

A recent study was published in the journal Age and Ageing, with the aim was to examine healthy and chronic disease-free LE between ages 50 and 75 and across various levels of physical activity by sex and different occupational statuses.

A clear dose–response relationship between higher physical activity levels and increased healthy and chronic disease-free LE in men and women, and within occupational statuses was found. On average, vigorously active men and women lived 6.3 years longer in good health and 2.9 years longer without chronic diseases between ages 50 and 75 compared to inactive individuals.

The study concluded that higher levels of physical activity increase healthy and chronic disease-free years similarly in men and women, but more among persons with low than with high occupational status.

As always, discuss all Exercise recommendations with your Qualified health care provider.

Late bedtimes, short sleeping time, and longtime video-game playing are associated with low back pain in school-aged athletes

Low back pain is a significant problem for school-aged athletes. Although some risk factors relating to sports activities have been reported, the effect of lifestyles on low back pain in school-aged athletes is not clear.

The purpose of a recent study published in the European Spine Journal, was to elucidate the association between lifestyles, such as wake-up time, bedtime, sleeping time, and TV-viewing or video-game-playing time per day and low back pain of school-aged athletes.

The results of the study found that the frequency of low back pain was 5.0%. Late bedtime, short sleeping time, and long video-game-playing time per day were significantly associated with low back pain. There was no significant association between low back pain and wake-up time or TV-viewing time per day.

The study concluded that unhealthy life-style choices, such as late bedtimes, short sleeping time, and longtime video-game playing, were associated with low back pain in school-aged athletes.

Update to Episode #626

In Episode #626, originally airing on March 16, 2018, related to a paper by Drs. Cerf and Bowman, entitled Outcomes indicators and a risk classification system for spinal manipulation under anesthesia, we erroneously left out the correct journal the paper was published in.

The correct journal is Chiropractic & Manual Therapies. Surf to our Show Notes for Links – https://chiromt.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12998-018-0177-z

Imaging for low back pain: Is clinical use consistent with Guidelines?

The problem of imaging patients with low back pain (LBP) when it is not indicated is well recognised. The converse is also possible, although rarely considered. The extent of these two problems is presently unclear.

The purpose of a recent study, published in The Spine Journal, was to estimate how commonly overuse, and also underuse, of imaging occurs in the management of LBP, and how appropriate use of imaging is assessed.

The study concluded that inappropriate imaging is common in LBP management, including both overuse in those where imaging is not indicated and underuse of imaging when it is indicated.

Appreciating that both underuse and overuse can occur is fundamental to efforts to improve imaging practice to align with current guidelines and best evidence.

Physical Activity Levels in Adults after Pedometer-Based Walking Interventions

Physical inactivity is an important cause of noncommunicable diseases.

Interventions can increase short-term physical activity (PA), but health benefits require maintenance. Few interventions have evaluated PA objectively beyond 12 months.

The authors of a study published in the journal PLOS Medicine, followed up two pedometer interventions with positive 12-month effects to examine objective PA levels at 3–4 years.

The study concluded that intervention participants followed up from both trials demonstrated higher levels of objectively measured PA at 3–4 years than controls, similar to previously reported 12-month trial effects.

Pedometer interventions, delivered by post or with nurse support, can help address the public health physical inactivity challenge.

As always, discuss all Exercise recommendations with your Qualified health care provider.

Spinal Manipulation and Exercise for Low Back Pain in Adolescents

Low back pain (LBP) is common in adolescence but there is a paucity of high quality research to inform care.

The authors of a recent study, published in the journal PAIN, conducted a multicenter randomized trial comparing 12 weeks of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) combined with exercise therapy (ET) to ET alone.

Participants were 185 adolescents aged 12-18 years with chronic LBP.

The study concluded that for adolescents with chronic LBP, spinal manipulation combined with exercise was more effective than exercise alone over a one-year period, with the largest differences occurring at six months.

These findings warrant replication and evaluation of cost-effectiveness.

The Global Spine Care Initiative

The purpose of a recent review, published in the European Spine Journal, was to develop recommendations for the management of spinal disorders in low-income communities, with a focus on non-invasive pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies for non-specific low back and neck pain.

The authors synthesized two evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the management of low back and neck pain. The recommendations considered benefits, harms, quality of evidence, and costs, with attention to feasibility in medically underserved areas and low- and middle-income countries.

Results of the review found that clinicians should provide education and reassurance, advise patients to remain active, and provide information about self-care options.

Clinicians should not offer treatments that are not effective.

The review concluded that guidelines developed for high-income settings were adapted to inform a care pathway and model of care for medically underserved areas and low- and middle-income countries by considering factors such as costs and feasibility, in addition to benefits, harms, and the quality of underlying evidence.

The selection of recommended conservative treatments must be finalized through discussion with the involved community and based on a biopsychosocial approach. Decision determinants for selecting recommended treatments include costs, availability of interventions, and cultural and patient preferences.

Positive age beliefs protection against dementia

One of the strongest risk factors for dementia is the ε4 variant of the APOE gene. Yet, many who carry it never develop dementia.

A recent study, published in PLOS One, examined for the first time whether positive age beliefs that are acquired from the culture may reduce the risk of developing dementia among older individuals, including those who are APOE ε4 carriers.

The cohort consisted of 4,765 Health and Retirement Study participants who were aged 60 or older and dementia-free at baseline. As predicted, in the total sample those with positive age beliefs at baseline were significantly less likely to develop dementia, after adjusting for relevant covariates.

Among those with APOE ε4, those with positive age beliefs were 49.8% less likely to develop dementia than those with negative age beliefs.

The study concluded that the results of this study suggest that positive age beliefs, which are modifiable and have been found to reduce stress, can act as a protective factor, even for older individuals at high risk of dementia.

Clinical Practice Guidelines for LBP

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are designed to ensure that evidence-based treatment is easily put into action. Whether patients and clinicians follow these guidelines is equivocal.

The objectives of a recent study, published in The Spine Journal, were to examine how many patients complaining of low back pain (LBP) underwent evidence-based medical interventional treatment in line with Clinical practice guidelines recommendations before consultation with a spine surgeon, and to evaluate any associations between adherence to Clinical practice guidelines recommendations and baseline factors.

The study concluded that Evidence-based medical interventional treatments for patients with LBP are not being taken advantage of before spine surgery consultation.

If more patients were to undertake CPG-endorsed conservative modalities, it may result in fewer unnecessary referrals from primary care physicians, and patients might not deteriorate as much while lingering on long wait lists.

Further studies incorporating knowledge translation or health system pathway changes are necessary.

Central Sensitization and the Biopsychosocial approach to understanding pain

Medical interventions alone have been largely unsuccessful in treating and curing disorders characterized by chronic pain like central sensitivity syndromes (CSS; e.g., fibromyalgia, chronic migraine, temporomandibular disorders, irritable bowel syndrome).

In a recent article, published by Wiley Online Library, the authors discuss how a biopsychosocial perspective adds to understanding people’s experiences with chronic pain.

A biopsychosocial perspective examines how biological, psychological, social, and contextual factors work independently and jointly to influence the experience, maintenance, and exacerbation of central sensitivity syndromes and their symptoms.

The authors highlight several key psychological and social factors relevant to many people who live with central sensitivity syndromes, while also emphasizing the heterogeneity in people’s experiences, life courses, and symptoms.

Furthermore, the authors emphasize that the psychological, social, and contextual factors that the authors include are best characterized as contributors to chronic pain experience rather than causes of it.

The purpose of a recent study, published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine, was to investigate correlative factors affecting chronic low back pain (CLBP), with special emphasis on the radiographic postural findings in the sagittal lumbosacral spine.

Standing lateral lumbar spine radiographs from 352 patients with CLBP enrolled in a randomized trial were analyzed and radiographic mensuration of lumbar lordosis, lumbosacral disc angle, and sacral inclination performed.

These angles were correlated with baseline variables, including CLBP intensity, age, and sex.

This study determined that there was no correlation between lumbar lordosis and pain levels for people with CLBP; thus, use of lumbar spine radiographic mensuration in the management of pain for people with CLBP is not recommended.

As always, discuss all diagnostic methodology and current research into radiographic usage with your qualified health care provider.

Effects of balance and proprioceptive training on total hip and knee replacement rehabilitation

Balance and proprioceptive deficits are frequently persistent after total joint replacement, limiting functionality and involving altered movement patterns and difficulties in walking and maintaining postural control among patients.

The goal of this systematic review, published in the journal Gait and Posture, was to evaluate the short- and mid-term effects of proprioceptive and balance training for patients undergoing total knee and hip replacement.

Eight trials were included, involving 567 participants.

The synthesis (of the study) showed that, in clinical terms, balance trainings are a convenient complement to conventional physiotherapy care to produce an impact on balance and functionality after knee replacement.

If outcomes such as improvement in pain, knee range of movement, or patient quality of life are to be promoted, it would be advisable to explore alternative proposals specifically targeting these goals.

Further research is needed to confirm or discard the current evidence ultimately, predominantly in terms of the effects on the hips and those yielded by preoperative interventions.

Movement and manual therapy for adults with arthritis

The use of manual therapies (chiropractic manipulation, massage) and movement therapies (yoga, tai chi) by people with arthritis may relate to their personal characteristics, and the reported emotional and physical health outcomes may differ by type of therapy.

The objective of a 2012 study published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine, was to describe personal characteristics and predictors of manual and movement therapy use for people with arthritis, and to compare the use of manual versus movement therapy to improve physical and emotional health outcomes for people with arthritis.

CAM respondents with arthritis were identified from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey. Data were analyzed to determine the overall percentages of CAM users, and to examine the associations between use/nonuse using multivariable linear regressions.

The study concluded that while both movement and manual therapies can have positive effects on people with arthritis, it appears that active therapies are more beneficial than passive therapies.
