“…Mean pain level of patient with chronic knee pain in Nepali version of Numerical Pain Rating scale was 5 with maximum NPRS score7 and minimum score of 2.0. The main cause of chronic knee pain in following study shows knee osteoarthritis which is consistent with the similar study that has been done in Iran [5].…”

“…In a study done in the community dwelling adults of Iran, the prevalence of chronic knee pain was found to be 29.97% [5].Chronic knee pain is commonly due to arthritic change and knee osteoarthritis is one of the leading cause of chronic knee pain [6]. The patellofemoral pain syndrome is one of the leading causes of pain in adults and adolescents [7].Since knee is one of the largest weight bearing joint in our body, it is always prone to overload and overuse causing pain and limiting the lower limb function [8].…”

Background Knee pain is one of the common causes of chronic pain mainly in the older adults.Chronic knee pain (CKP) is commonly due to arthritic changes (osteoarthritis). Chronic knee pain is a common and major health problem in ageing population. Knee pain is associated with high levels of disability. So early detection and treatment of pain related functional limitation is likely to have major influence on healthy ageing. The general objective of this study was to quantify the level of pain and physical function in patient with CKP. Methods Preliminary screening of population with chronic knee pain was taken and cross sectional descriptive study was done. Questionnaire with inclusion criteria was fulfilled with administration of Nepali version of Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Nepali version of Patient Specific Functional Scale on interview as well as self-report basis and the data was managed by SPSS version 23. Results 75.6% of female with chronic knee pain was found with the average pain level found to be 5 in N-NPRS scale.Among them 80.8% of chronic knee pain was due to knee osteoarthritis. Sitting function was found to be affected in 82.1% of population with mean Nepali version of Patient specific functional Scale score of 2. Similarly 80.8% reported going downstairs to be difficult due to knee pain with N-PSFS score of 2. Conclusion Pain and functional disability are the principle findings in patient with chronic knee pain for which they seek medical treatment .So the treatments should target on functional task with effective strategy. addressing disability. Focus on function is important for the development of optimal rehabilitation programs in patients with chronic knee pain.

“… 17 Another national cross-sectional study from the US shows that physical activity (even at low levels), tobacco use, alcohol intake, sleep quality, and BMI are all associated with LBP. 18 Similarly, studies conducted at a national level in Iran 19 and Canada 20 on LBP, and in Spain on NP, 21 suggest the importance of lifestyle behavior. However, longitudinal studies have shown either weak or nonsignificant associations.…”

BackgroundThe role of healthy lifestyle behavior (HLB) in terms of physical activity, alcohol intake, smoking, and diet put together has not yet been explored for the risk of low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Our aim was to study if an HLB is protective against the onset of long duration troublesome LBP and NP in men and women.MethodsTwo cohorts from the Stockholm Public Health Cohort, free from LBP (n=12,483) and NP (n=10,539), respectively, in 2006, were surveyed with questionnaires. Baseline information about physical activity, alcohol intake, diet, and smoking were dichotomized into being healthy/not healthy and combined in a categorical variable according to the number of healthy behaviors present. Binomial regression analyses were used to evaluate the role of HLB for the outcomes 4 years later.ResultsWhen men with three or four healthy lifestyles were compared to men with none or one, the risk ratio (RR) of LBP was 0.63 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.39–1.02). The corresponding RR for LBP in women was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.56–1.32). When men with three or four healthy lifestyles were compared to men with none or one, the RR for NP was 1.13 (95% CI: 0.74–1.71). The corresponding RR for NP in women was 0.52 (95% CI: 0.35–0.77).ConclusionAn HLB seems to be protective for long duration troublesome LBP in men, and for long duration troublesome NP in women.
