“…Back pain is one of the most frequent causes of consultation with primary health providers as it is highly prevalent in the general population and is associated with a worsening of quality of life and mental health throughout life [ 11 , 12 ]. Its early diagnosis and the offer of increasingly less invasive and more effective treatments are a growing need as it predominantly affects adults of working age who are economically active, representing a threat to their financial stability and family well-being, as could be seen in the present study.…”

Background: Lower back and radicular pain are leading causes of disability and loss of quality of life, especially due to its high prevalence in the general population. Cooled radiofrequency treatment (CRT) has emerged as a novel non-invasive technique for the management of discogenic pain with safe and effective results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of CRT in the treatment of radicular pain secondary to a lumbar hernia in patients with chronic neuropathic pain after receiving conservative treatment that did not achieve adequate pain management. Methods: A prospective study of patients undergoing CRT for the management of discogenic low back pain was carried out. When attending the first evaluation and corroborating the lumbar hernias by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), treatment was offered one month of physiotherapy before CRT. To assess the evolution of the patients, measurements were taken before and after the intervention with the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) scores. Results: A total of 74 patients (mean age: 48.42 ± 14.32 years, 66.11% female) were included, who were undergoing a total of 134 herniated intervertebral lumbar discs. When comparing the initial perception of low back pain and after finding a non-significant partial improvement with one month of physiotherapy treatment, it was observed that the patients who were offered CRT showed an average improvement in discogenic pain of 79.92% (p = <0.0001, 95% CI: -7.010 to -6.379) in 98.64% of cases. This was accompanied by an increase in their functionality of daily living activities, as measured by OLBPDS. No patients presented significant adverse events, and in the only case where the desired pain management was not obtained, the patient's discomfort did not worsen. Conclusions: Intradiscal biacuplasty by CRT is a considerable treatment for lumbar radiculopathy. Postoperative results demonstrated its effectiveness and safety in the management of radicular pain without the presence of significant adverse effects.

Background: Sit and work for more than seven hours per day increases risk of low back pain among computer users. Prevention of low back pain emerges as an important workplace healthcare measure. The objective was to examine the effect of back extensor endurance training on back pain incidence rate and to use back endurance position hold time score as back pain predictive marker in computer users.Methods: Seventy-three subjects with low and medium back endurance position hold time score included in this randomized control trail. Subjects categorized as prevention group (n=38) and control group (n=35). Prevention group performed back endurance exercise program three times in a week for 12 weeks. Control group not received any training. Back endurance hold time score measured before and after 12 weeks for both groups with Biering-Sorensen test. Back pain incidence and severity evaluated using 100 mm visual analog scale.Results: Preventive groups’ back endurance hold time significantly high after training (p<0.05). There was inverse relationship between position hold time score and back pain incidence rate in both groups (r=-0.415 and -0.02 for both the groups). Position hold time scores from control group significantly associated with back pain incidence rate (p<0.05). Back pain incidence rate was 51.4 % (control group) and 15.7% (prevention group).Conclusions: Back extensor endurance training is effective in prevention of back pain incidence rate among high risk computer users. Future studies required to incorporates these trainings in workplace preventive health programs.

“…Occupation reflects an individual’s social status, sense of responsibility for rights, and health risks, and there are differences in the work environment, intensity of work, and working environment among different occupational groups ( 30 ). The SSS reflects people’s social class and status and combines indicators such as income level, educational attainment, and occupational status ( 31 ). Most early studies focused on the accessibility of SSS to income and healthcare levels.…”

BackgroundSocial transition is one of the multi-level mechanisms that influence health disparities. However, it has received less attention as one of the non-traditional social determinants of health. A few studies have examined China’s social transition and its impact on health inequality in self-rated health (SRH). Therefore, this study explores the impact of China’s market-oriented reforms—social transition and socioeconomic status (SES)—on residents’ SRH.MethodsUsing the cross-sectional data from the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2017, we analyzed the effects of social transition and SES on the SRH of Chinese residents using the RIF (Recentered influence function) method. The RIF decomposition method investigated health differences among different populations and their determinants.ResultsSocial transition and SES have significant positive effects on the SRH of Chinese residents. The correlation between SES and the SRH of Chinese residents is moderated by social transition, implying that social transition can weaken the correlation between SES and the SRH of Chinese residents. The impacts of SES and social transition on SRH vary across populations.ConclusionPromoting social transition and favoring disadvantaged groups with more resources are urgently needed to promote equitable health outcomes.
