Low back pain is a very common health problem and can affect the quality of life. Pain that arises in low back pain can be either nociceptive pain or neuropathic pain. This literature review discusses the neuropathic pain component of low back pain. This review uses a narrative review method. The articles were obtained from keyword searches in the Science Direct, PubMed, and ProQuest databases with a publication range of 2011-2021 in Indonesian or English, and research on the components of neuropathic pain in low back pain. Of the eight articles included in this literature review, the prevalence of neuropathic pain in low back pain was 2.8% - 65.3%. Neuropathic pain can be ruled out using LANSS, DN4, and PDQ. Low back pain with neuropathic pain had symptoms of burning (34.58% - 82.9%), pinpricks (31.77% - 78%), tingling (32.71% - 84.8%), numbness (42.05% - 97%), electric shock (38.97% - 78%), itching (16.82% - 42.4%), cold sensation (12.15% - 48.5%), allodynia (19.62% - 85.4%), 61% hyperalgesia, 14.6% autonomic dysfunction, 100% had dysesthesia, and 100% experienced a decrease in tenderness/prickling. Radicular low back pain is often caused by L5 or S1 root compression and rarely L4. Neuropathic low back pain can be based on an assessment of the symptom profile. Associated risk factors are older age, being a female, greater anthropometric status, the habit of drinking alcohol, smoking, and history of previous lumbar, abdominal or pelvic surgery
One health problems that often occur in elderly is a decline in cognitive function. The brain needs oxygen and glucose reserves to work, if there is a blood vessel blockage, it can cause oxygen and glucose inadequacy which can reduce the work function of brain nerve cells. Hypertension is a medical condition of an elevated vascular blood pressure above normal limits. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between blood pressure and cognitive function in the elderly at RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin. This study is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional method with total of 32 elderly people were selected using a purposive sampling method. Data was analyzed by using Pearson. The average value systolic blood pressure was 152,2 ± 5,1 from secondary data of medical record, and the average value of cognitive function using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was 26,3 ± 1,0 with Pearson correlation test results obtained value of p = 0.594 and r = 0.098. These findings provide additional evidence that there is no relation between blood systolic pressure and cognitive function in the elderly in RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
