“…While after cupping therapy, reduced pain severity was linked to less disability levels (table 6). This finding is in a harmony with other studies done in Egypt by Abd El Moniem et al (2019) (10) , in Thailand by Sakulsriprasert et al (2021) (39) , and in Japan by Yabe et al (2022) (40) .…”

Low back pain (LBP) is a common symptom among older adults and a major cause of functional disability due to its high prevalence and persistence. Pain-related disability affects functional and psychosocial status which leads to poor quality of life of the older adults. Cupping therapy has become common approach used for management of LBP which has several advantages; as it is simple, cost effective, and safe method with low side effects than other current therapeutics. Objective: to determine the effect of wet cupping therapy on low back pain severity and functional ability among community dwelling older adults. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used in this study. Setting: the orthopedic outpatient clinic of Damanhour National Medical Institute, El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt. Subjects: The study subjects comprised fifty (50) older adults with LBP divided randomly into two matched groups of 25 subjects. Tools: three tools were used for data collection:1) Socio-demographic characteristics and Clinical Data of the Community Dwelling Older Adults with LBP Structured Interview schedule ,2) Iowa Pain Thermometer (IPT), 3) Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire. Results: the wet cupping group had a highly statistical significant reduction in pain severity (P= 0.008) and significant improvement in functional ability (P= 0.001) post cupping therapy compared to pre cupping therapy with a statistically significant difference between the wet cupping and control groups. Conclusion: wet cupping therapy had affected positively the severity of LBP and functional ability among older adults in the cupping group. Recommendations: Coordination with different health care settings and heath care team members to facilitate integration of wet cupping therapy in care of older adults with LBP as an effective treatment method.

“…Another explanation is that disability attributed to BP varies substantially across countries and it is influenced by social norms, local health approaches, and legislation [ 3 ]. A Japanese study demonstrated that BP is associated with functional disability, and such association is observed to be stronger in a dose-dependent manner, which includes the intensity, frequency, and duration of BP [ 47 ]. In the present study the sample was considered as a whole, which may have masked possible effects in subgroups.…”

Background The prognosis of back pain (BP) in the older adults is less favorable than in younger adults and progress to adverse outcomes and consequent worsening of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The present study aimed to verify the association between BP intensity, disability and HRQoL in older adults residents in Brazil and Netherlands, and to evaluate whether the country of residence influences the associations. Methods Data were collected from 602 Brazilian and 675 Dutch participants with a new episode of BP from the Back Complaints in Elders (BACE) consortium. For the present study, a cross section was used. Pain intensity and disability were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), respectively. HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) quality of life questionnaire. Age, sex, and education were descriptive variables. Pain intensity (NPS score) and country were the independent variables and quality of life assessed by each SF domain − 36 was the dependent variable. Analysis of models at the individual level was performed to verify the association between pain and disability, also HRQoL in Netherlands and Brazil in the total sample. The multilevel model was used to verify whether the older adults person’s country of residence influenced this relationship. Results The average age of the participants was 67.00 (7.33) years. In the total sample, linear regression analysis adjusted for sex and age showed a significant association between BP intensity scores and HRQoL, for all domains. There was no association between disability and HRQoL. In the multilevel analysis, there was an association between BP intensity and HRQoL in all domains and an association between the country of residence and HRQoL, influencing the effect of pain, in all domains, except for the physical functioning. Conclusion Socioeconomic and cultural aspects of different countries can affect the perception of the elderly about their HRQoL in the presence of BP. Pain and disability in Brazilian and Dutch older adults ones are experienced differently in relation to their HRQoL.
