“…There is no gold standard that would distinguish mild LBP from moderate symptoms. Although the cut-off limit was chosen arbitrarily in our study, the categorization follows some previous recommendations, eg, according to Hawker et al (23), mild pain can be categorized between 5-44 mm in the visual analogue scale (VAS) and moderate pain between 45-74 mm. This paper focuses on the RCT targeted at mild LB symptoms.…”

Face-to-face information combined with a booklet versus a booklet alone for treatment of mild low-back pain: a randomized controlled trial by Rantonen J, Vehtari A, Karppinen J, Luoto S, Viikari-Juntura E, Hupli M, Malmivaara A, Taimela S Respondents with mild LB symptoms were randomized into the Back Book (control) Back Book+Advice (intervention) groups. Both occupational health (OH) interventions were effective, but supplementary oral information was not more effective compared to the booklet alone. Policy implications: Patient advice is important in the OH setting, but we need more evidence of the effectiveness of various types of information.

Scand J Work Environ Health. 2014;40(2):156-166, doi:10.5271/sjweh.3398 AffiliationObjective The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of face-to-face information for the treatment of mild low-back pain (LBP) in an occupational health (OH) setting. MethodsWe conducted a 48-month randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two 1:1 allocated parallel groups of forestry company employees. Eligibility criteria included permanent employment, age <57 years, and mild LBP [visual analogue scale (VAS) 10-34 mm] in a survey. The intervention group received the Back Book, an information booklet on how to manage LBP, with an additional face-to-face review of the booklet by an OH nurse. The control group received the booklet only. Primary outcomes were physical impairment (Roland-Morris 18-item (RM-18) Disability Questionnaire), LBP (VAS 100 mm), health-related quality of life [15-dimensional quality of life (15-D)] during two years and sickness absence (SA) up to four years. Participants were assigned using block randomization with a computer-generated scheme. ResultsThe RCT comprised 181 participants (72% male, mean age 44 years). There were no differences between the treatment arms in any of the primary outcomes at any time point. At 24 months, the mean group differences (intervention versus control) were: RM-18: 0 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) -1-1], VAS: 3 mm (95% CI -3-8), and 15-D 0.00 (95% CI -0.02-0.02). The difference in cumulative sickness absence days at 48 months were -3 (95% CI -28-21) for total and 1 (95% CI -3-5) for LBP specific sick leaves. Exploratory analysis revealed no differences at subgroup-levels either.Conclusions Face-to-face patient information by an OH nurse in addition to a booklet was not more eff...

Ö ÖZ ZE ET T A Am ma aç ç: : Servikal bölgede ağrısı olmayan bel ağrılı genç erişkinlerin, lomber bölge manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları ile servikal bölge MRG bulgularını karşılaştırmak ve bu bulguların risk faktörleriyle ilişkisini saptamaktır. G Ge er re eç ç v ve e Y Yö ön nt te em ml le er r: : Çalışmaya yaş aralığı 20-40 yıl olan, bel ağrısı olan, boyun ağrısı olmayan 60 hasta alındı. Bel ağrısının süresi, sigara içimi, travma öyküsü, düzenli egzersiz yapıp yapmadığı, boyu, kilosu ve mesleği sorgulandı. Beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) hesaplandı. Ağrı, vizüel analog skala (VAS) ile değerlendirildi. MRG'de; herniasyon, dejenerasyon ve anüler yırtık kaydedildi. Dejenerasyon derecelendirildi. B Bu ul lg gu ul la ar r: : Hastaların ortalama yaşı 29,82±5,59 yıl, BKİ 25,36±3,82 kg/m 2 , bel ağrısı süresi 32,02±29,97 ay, bel ağrısı VAS 6,83±1,45 idi. Herniasyon lomber bölgede en fazla L4-5 ve L5-S1 düzeyinde olup; bulging (%45-36,7), protrüzyon (%41,7-51,7), ekstrüzyon (%8,3-6,7) şeklinde dağılım gösterirken, servikal böl-gede ise en fazla C5-6 ve C4-5 seviyesinde olup; bulging (%51,7-30) ve protrüzyon (%13,3-11,7) şeklinde dağılım gösterdi. Lomber bölgede 188 (%52,2) seviye normal, 172 (%47,7) seviyede disk hernisi bulgusu, servikalde ise 234 (%65) seviye normal, 126 (%35) seviyede disk hernisi bulgusu mevcuttu. Dejenerasyon en fazla L5-S1, L4-5 ile C3-C4, C4-5 seviyelerindeydi. Lomber bölgede Gr8'e, servikalde Gr5'e ulaşan dejenerasyon saptandı. Lomber disk hernisi (r=0,303) ve dejenerasyonu (r=0,398) kilo ile servikal bölge disk hernisi (r=0,279) ve disk dejenerasyonu (r=0,273) yaş ile pozitif ilişkili idi. Lomber ve servikal bölge herni ve dejenerasyon skorları arasında korelasyon yoktu. S So on nu uç ç: : Servikal ağrı şikâyeti olmayan genç erişkinlerde de pozitif MRG bulguları olabilmektedir. Omurganın farklı bölümleri risk faktörlerinden farklı etkilenebilmektedir. Yaş ve BKİ omurga sağlığını etkileyen risk faktörleri arasında sayılabilmektedir.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Bel ağrısı; lomber MRG; servikal MRG; rehabilitasyon A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : To compare lomber and servical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of adults with low back pain without neck pain, and to investigate the association between findings and risk factors. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : 60 patients aged between 20-40 years were enrolled. Duration of back pain, history of smoking and trauma, regular exercise were questioned. Height and weight were measured. Pain was evaluated with VAS (visual analogue scale). Herniation, degeneration, annular tear on MRI findings were recorded. Degeneration was grated. R Re e--s su ul lt ts s: : Mean age was 29,82±5,59 years, mean BMI was 25,36±3,82 kg/m 2 , mean duration of low back was 32,02±29,97 months, and mean pain VAS score was 6,83±1,45. Herniation was mostly seen at the level of L4-5 followed by L5-S1. Bulging (45-36.7%), protrusion (41.7-51.7%), extrusion (83-6.7%) were detected while C5-6...
