“…Measurement reliability is an influential factor on sample size, effect size, and study power [ 47 ]. The reliability of the data collection instruments in the present study was confirmed with acceptable test-retest and inter-rater correlation coefficients (i.e., more than 0.8) [ 48 ]. Therefore, sample size had been calculated with acceptable measurement reliability.…”

Introduction Previous studies into Low Back Pain (LBP) assessed the effects of physical interventions or face-to-face (FTF) education mostly in western cultures. The present study aimed to compare the effects of multimedia and FTF pain management education (PME) on pain intensity and pain catastrophizing among participants with chronic LBP. Methods This double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on ninety participants with chronic LBP randomly allocated to either multimedia, FTF, or control groups. Participants in the multimedia group received PME through watching seven educational CDs at home and their counterparts in the FTF group received the same educations in seven weekly FTF educational sessions. Pain intensity (using a numerical rating scale) and pain catastrophizing (using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale) were assessed before, immediately after, and one month after the study intervention. The effects of the interventions were assessed using the repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Effect size and minimal detectable change (MDC) were reported for both variables. The regression model used in the present study was Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). Findings The findings of MANOVA showed the significant effects of time on pain intensity and pain catastrophizing (P<0.001). The Tukey’s test showed that before and immediately after the intervention, the mean scores of pain intensity and pain catastrophizing in the FTF and PME groups were significantly different from the control group (P<0.001 and P = 0.001, respectively). MDC did not show clinically significant changes in the mean score of pain intensity and GEE revealed significant difference among the groups. Conclusion The findings suggested that multimedia PME is as effective as FTF education in reducing pain intensity and pain catastrophizing among participants with LBP. Future studies into the effects of education on LBP are recommended to consider longitudinal designs, a reliable cutoff score for pain catastrophizing, and participants’ physical ability.

“…Later, after extensive analyses, increased blood levels of metal ions and breakage of internal components as well as corrosion were reported. Nonetheless, the lengthening process with MAGEC growing rods is almost pain-free and may be a gentler treatment option with high patient satisfaction compared with sequential open spinal lengthening procedures (Skov et al 2019(Skov et al , 2020a. Many surgeons therefore still advocate the use of MAGEC implants, despite the call for evaluation of the cost-effectiveness and safety of these devices (Rushton et al 2020, Skov et al 2020b, Tsirikos and Roberts 2020.…”

“…Repetitive surgical procedures expose patients to wound-related complications and repetitive anesthesia and analgesia and require inpatient stays. Noninvasive lengthening of the MCGR is painless, swift, and conducted in an outpatient clinic 28 . We hypothesized that this would have a positive impact on the HRQoL of children with severe EOS.…”

Background: Severe early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is managed surgically but represents a challenge due to limited implant fixation points, large curve size, and fragile patients with comorbidities. Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) have the advantage of avoiding surgical intervention for routine lengthening, but their ability to address severe EOS has not been studied, to our knowledge.Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively collected international database identified 44 children with severe ( ‡90°) EOS treated with MCGRs who met our study criteria. Etiology, age, and sex-matched patients treated with traditional growing rods (TGRs) were identified from the same database. Patients were evaluated at a 2-year follow-up. No patients with vertically expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTRs) were included. The health-related quality of life was evaluated with the 24-Item Early Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ-24).Results: The mean preoperative major coronal curve was 104°in the MCGR group and 104°in the TGR group. At the 2-year follow-up, the mean major coronal curves were 52°and 66°(p = 0.001), respectively. The mean T1-T12 heights were 155 mm and 152 mm preoperatively and 202 mm and 192 mm at the 2-year follow-up (p = 0.088). According to Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 2-year unplanned-revision-free survival was 91% in the MCGR group and 71% in the TGR group (p < 0.005). The 2-year score in the EOSQ-24 pulmonary function domain was better in the MCGR group. There were no other significant differences in the EOSQ-24 scores between the groups.Conclusions: MCGRs for severe EOS provided significantly better major curve correction with significantly fewer unplanned revisions than TGRs at a 2-year follow-up.
