“…9 The last five years have seen the publication of ten review articles of variable quality pertaining to LSS. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] In all cases, recommendations stemmed from the combined results of non-randomized as well as randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and scrutiny of the reference lists reveals the omission of RCTs (Appendix). Furthermore, 30% of the available trials were published in the last two years (2008)(2009)) and, to date, they have not been incorporated in a review article.…”

Because of their variable quality, published RCTs can provide only limited evidence to formulate recommendations pertaining to the nonsurgical treatment of LSS. In this narrative review, no study was excluded based on factors such as sample size justification, statistical power, blinding, definition of intervention allocation, or clinical outcomes. This aspect may represent a limitation as it may serve to overemphasize evidence derived from "weaker" trials. Further well-designed RCTs are warranted.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is becoming more frequent as the population ages and is now the most common spinal diagnosis for individuals older than 65. Because LSS is a common source of pain and disability among older adults, understanding the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and clinical management of this condition is important. An individual example is used to highlight classic signs and symptoms. Nursing strategies for LSS-associated pain and symptom management to improve physical function and quality of life are discussed.
