“…The physical disability score was calculated by summing all items except for pain intensity. Psychological inflexibility was investigated using the Japanese version of the Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale (PIPS-J) 18) . The Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale was developed to measure psychological inflexibility in relation to chronic pain 19) .…”

In this pilot study, we investigated the effectiveness of physical therapist-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy in older outpatients with knee osteoarthritis and chronic pain. [Participants and Methods] This single-center, open-label, parallel-group pilot randomized controlled trial included 30 patients assigned to the physical therapist-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy group (n=15) and the usual care physical therapy-only group (n=15). Both treatments were administered once a week for 8 weeks. Evaluation was performed 4 weeks before intervention, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 4 weeks after intervention. The primary outcome was diagnosis of a physical disability, and secondary outcomes included psychological inflexibility, pain intensity, anxiety, depression, physical function, and objectively measured physical activity. [Results] Physical therapist-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy had a limited effect on physical disability, although we observed a favorable tendency. With regard to secondary outcomes, physical therapist-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy did not show significant effects. Notably, 15 patients withdrew from this study and 6 were diagnosed with coronavirus disease. [Conclusion] Physical therapist-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy did not appear to show significant effects in the present study. It is necessary to correct these issues in this study, and future studies are warranted to investigate the effects of this therapy.

“…It recognizes that lower back pain (LBP) is not merely a physical ailment but a complex interplay of various influences. The model assumes that biological, psychological, and social systems are interconnected and mutually influence each other (Nagasawa et al, 2021). For example, psychological factors like stress or mental health can impact biological processes, affecting susceptibility to back pain.…”

BackgroundThe gradual increase in cases of Back pain among the general population has been one of the neglected health concerns in developing countries. The study aims to assess the specific individual factors contributing to lower back pain among males aged 20 to 35 years. MethodologyA cross-sectional survey involving the collection of quantitative data from 190 respondents including 14 Surgeons and other doctors, 40 nursing staff, 19 Administrative and support staff, and 108 patients. ResultsProlonged sitting, poor posture, workplace ergonomics, stress, sleep quality, diet, and previous injuries or medical conditions were identified as significant contributors to LBP. Extended periods of sitting lead to an increase in LBP, with a mean score of 4.30. The standard deviation of 0.396 suggests agreement in opinions regarding the influence of poor posture on LBP. A relatively high standard deviation of 1.291 suggests variability in opinions regarding the relationship between stress and lower back pain. The overall mean score for all specific individual factors analyzed is 3.78, with a standard deviation of 0.489, indicating a high level of agreement among respondents regarding the impact of these factors on LBP. Most of the staff fall within the age range of 31 to 40 years, comprising 58% of the total surveyed population followed by staff aged 40 years and above, accounting for 25%. Potential age-related factors that may influence the occurrence of LBP. 53% are male, while 48% are female. ConclusionPoor posture, workplace ergonomics, stress, sleep quality, diet, and previous injuries or medical conditions were identified as the most significant contributors to LBP. RecommendationDeveloping patient education and self-management programs can empower individuals with low back pain to take an active role in managing their condition and preventing recurrences.

Aim: This study examined the associations between psychological inflexibility (PI) and physical disability (PD) among older patients with chronic low back and knee pain. Methods: Pain avoidance and cognitive fusion were assessed in outpatients as components of PI and PD, and sociodemographic and pain-related variables were used as covariates. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used. The covariates were first entered, followed by PI. Results: Age and pain intensity had significant positive associations with PD. After adding PI, only pain avoidance was significantly and positively associated with PD. Conclusion: Focusing on pain avoidance may be effective for physical disability when acceptance and commitment therapy is administered to older patients with chronic low back and knee pain.
