“…This finding is in accordance with the earlier results of Lodh et al [12] in which the patients (women were the vast majority) with back pain had a significantly lower concentration of vitamin D, compared to healthy volunteers. In a study of Brazilian postmenopausal women, the majority of women with vitamin D deficiency did not experience any back pain (69.5 vs. 66.9%), greater limitation of daily activities, nor any fractures when compared to the women without D hypovitaminosis D [10].…”

Introduction and objective. Since the role of vitamin D is essential in numerous biological processes its deficiency was suggested to be a risk factor for e.g. osteoporosis, musculoskeletal pain and spine pain. The purpose of the study was to analyse whether serum vitamin D concentration is related to pain involving the motor system in Polish postmenopausal women working in agriculture. Material and methods. The study group consisted of 1,751 post-menopausal women, aged 45-65, at least 12 months from the last menstrual period, living in rural areas and working in agriculture. The research method was self-assessment of pain involving the motor system using VAS, laboratory test of serum vitamin D concentration and a medical interview. Statistical methods included generalized linear models, analysis of variance, t test for two means in two independents, χ

“…The subjective analyses of pain were based on the VAS scale and the objective analyses of pain were done through pain score through the Pain Detect Tool [2]. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD was detected with the GAD-7 tool [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The clinical data that were surveyed include medication history of the patients through prescription transcripts.…”

Introduction: Back pain and GAD are very common among housewives across the globe. Various pathophysiological factors can deteriorate the prognosis and diagnosis of back pain, among which neuropathic component is notable. The present study explored whether GAD increases the perception and severity of neuropathic component of back pain.Methods: Forty-eight housewives were included in this study. The participants had at least 5 years' experience of household work. Cross-sectional data was collected to Subjective and objective detection of back pain was done through the VAS Scale and the Pain Detect Tool respectively. GAD scores were differentially detected with the GAD 7 tool. The clinical and medication history of the participants were noted through structured-interview sessions in presence of a pain specialist. Results:The results showed that, about one-half of the participants exhibited a neuropathic pain. GAD was shown to significantly increase the odds of severity and perception of neuropathic pain among the participants. A majority of the subjects reported that they did not receive any medications for pain relief with analgesic therapy. The regression analysis reflected that, addition of GABA-agonists and anxiolytics resulted in non-significant perception of pain on the VAS scale. Conclusion:These findings suggest that appropriate medication could significantly reduce the perception of back pain (on VAS scale) in GAD-affected women. The study voiced the need for personalized medicine in managing back pain across patients affected with psychopathic comorbidity.
