Background Carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness, weakness, and atrophy. Pain without numbness is not characteristic of this disease. Questions/purposes We tested the hypothesis that among patients with carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by electrophysiologic testing, pain catastrophizing and/or depression would be good predictors of pain intensity at the time of diagnosis, whereas nerve conduction velocity would not. Patients and Methods Fifty-four patients completed a measure of tendency to misinterpret pain, a measure of depressive symptoms, anxiety about pain, self-efficacy in response to pain, and a five-point Likert measure of pain intensity. One-tailed Spearman correlation was performed to find a correlation between pain and continuous variables. One-way ANOVA was performed to assess differences between categorical variables. For each group, all variables with significant correlations with pain intensity were included in a multiple linear regression analysis. Results Sex, age, and electrophysiologic measures did not correlate with pain intensity. All measures of illness behavior correlated with pain intensity and were entered in a multiple linear regression model; only misinterpretation of nociception and depression were significantly associated and accounted for 39% of the variation in pain intensity. Conclusions Illness behavior (specifically depression and misinterpretation of nociception) predicts pain intensity in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Level of Evidence Level II, prognostic study. See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

“…A comparative study that compared the relation between nursing students and lumbar pain demonstrated that those with pain were physically more active, presented a higher stress score, and frequently used passive coping strategies when compared to the control group. The regression analysis revealed that the stress perception, coping strategy used, physical activity practiced, spinal movement, and age contributed to the presence of lumbar pain (25) . A physiological assessment of stress analysed 15 healthy nursing students going through preparatory simulated exams, with 100 multiple-choice questions about anatomy, and physiology, for the Osaka National Exam.…”

Objective: To analyze the scientific results published in national and international nursing journals related to the physiological and emotional responses of nursing students. Methods: We performed an integrative review of scientific literature, focusing on the databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS and SciELO. In the sample, we included works available in full text, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published between July 2004 to July 2009, and which contained at least one descriptor in the title and three in the text, directly related to physiological and psychological manifestations of stress in nursing students. Results: Of 126 articles identified, only 13 referred to the theme; of these, five addressed psychological manifestations, four addressed physiological manifestations, and four others identified both. Of the total, four studies were longitudinal and nine were transverse. Conclusion: In terms of results, it was observed that the theme should be further studied and developed in the process of teaching and learning of nursing, because it was verified that stress is a frequent occurrence and has major consequences for these students. Descriptors: Nursing student/psychology; Stress; Physiological stress; Psychological stress RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar a produção científica relacionada às respostas fisiológicas e emocionais em estudantes de enfermagem, registrada nos periódicos nacionais e internacionais de enfermagem. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura científica, tendo como foco as bases de dados PUBMED, MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS e SciELO. Na amostra, foram incluídos trabalhos escritos na íntegra, em português, inglês ou espanhol, no período de julho de 2004 a julho de 2009, que continham, pelo menos, um descritor no título e três no texto, diretamente relacionados a manifestações fisiológicas e psicológicas do estresse em estudantes de enfermagem. Resultados: Dos 126 artigos identificados apenas 13 referiram-se ao tema, deles, cinco abordaram manifestações psicológicas, quatro, manifestações fisiológicas e outros quatro ambas. Do total, quatro foram estudos longitudinais e nove transversais. Conclusão: Pelos resultados atingidos, observou-se que o tema ainda deve ser estudado e desenvolvido no processo de ensino e aprendizagem da enfermagem, pois verificou-se que o estresse é uma ocorrência frequente e com consequências importantes entre esses estudantes.

“…Moreover, inconclusive evidence for a relationship between trunk muscle strength or mobility of lumbar spine and the risk of LBP was found (Hamberg-van Reenen et al, 2007). There is the report that sagittal spine mobility, static spinal posture, muscle endurance and spinal repositioning error show no difference between subjects with LBP and without LBP (Mitchell et al, 2009). Conflicting evidence is found for the association between physical activity and LBP in the general population and in school children in 10 high-quality studies (Sitthipornvorakul, 2011).…”

Low Back Pain

Epidemiology of LBPLBP is an important health problem in both developed and developing countries (Brooks, 2006;Woolf & Pfleger 2003). LBP results in socio-economic losses, health and clinical problems, not only for individuals but also for countries, because LBP causes obstacles to work or work absence and increases economic burden of treatment and compensation. Therefore, epidemiological study holds an important position in understanding LBP.Epidemiology is the study of the health of human populations. Its functions are:www.intechopen.com Low Back Pain 4 1. To discover the agent, host, and environmental factors which affect health, in order to provide the scientific basis for the prevention of disease and injury, and the promotion of health. 2. To determine the relative importance of causes of illness, disability, and death, in order to establish priorities for research and action. 3. To identify those sections of the population which have the greatest risk from specific causes of ill health, in order that the indicated action may be directed appropriately. 4. To evaluate the effectiveness of health programs and services in improving the health of the population. (Brownson, 1998).In the case of LBP, epidemiology investigates the various factors of LBP included in the risk factors for LBP, the effects of prevention measures and interventions on LBP, the interaction of risk factors for LBP, time course changes of LBP, the burden of LBP, associations among this information and so on. Much epidemiological research on LBP has been conducted worldwide. This research is important in understanding the past, present and future of LBP, and epidemiological data provide much information to assist in seeking and solving the various problems related to LBP. Moreover, these data can prevent LBP by avoiding or decreasing risk factors for individuals.The two most basic concepts of epidemiology are incidence and prevalence. Incidence is defined as the rate at which healthy people develop a new symptom or disease over a specified period of time. In contrast to incident, prevalence is a measure of the number of people in the population who have a symptom or disease at a particular point in time (Manchikanti, 2000). Therefore, it is necessary to note the methodological problems in the study of the epidemiology of LBP. Cunningham and Kelsey reported that back trouble is a frequent problem and the prevalence of back pain symptoms is estimated to be 17.2% from the data source of The United States (US) Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1971-1975 (HANES I) of the US adults aged 25-74 years (Cunningham & Kelsey, 1984). Strine and Hootman reported that from National Health Interview Survey in 2002 the prevalence of LBP increase with aging and the total prevalence of LBP only was 17.0% and the prevalence of both neck and LBP was 9.3% of US adults aged 18 years and over (Strine & Hootman, 2007 Prevalence of LBP in the general population
