Correlation between the degree of pain relief following discoblock and short-term surgical disability outcome among patients with suspected discogenic low back pain

TL;DR: It is suggested that discoblock is a useful predictive criterion for disability outcome prior to surgery for discogenic LBP, especially when stabilizing spine surgery is under consideration.

Immune-inflammatory and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis biomarkers are altered in patients with non-specific low back pain: A systematic review

TL;DR: This systematic review aimed to investigate immune-inflammatory and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis biomarkers in individuals with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) compared to healthy control found preliminary and limited evidence of increased levels in growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), interleukin-23 (IL-23), transforming growth factor–beta (TGF-β), and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNF-

Effectiveness of a short functional restoration program for patients with chronic low back pain: A cohort study of 193 patients.

TL;DR: This CFRP showed small effect to improve function, pain and other quality of life, in cLBP, and four-day programs may be an interesting option in patients still in professional activity for whom a long 1-month FRP is difficultly manageable.

TL;DR: This study examined the effects of active release technique on pain, Oswestry Disability Index, and pelvic asymmetry in chronic low back pain patients.

3D Stereophotogrammetric Quantitative Evaluation of Posture and Spine Proprioception in Subacute and Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

TL;DR: The standing posture and its modifications induced by an instinctive self-correction manoeuvre in subacute and chronic nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) patients are investigated to clarify how NSLBP relates to body upright posture, proprioception, and motor control and how these are modified in patients compared to healthy young adults.

Grading the severity of chronic pain.

TL;DR: A Guttman scale analysis showed that pain intensity and disability measures formed a reliable hierarchical scale and may be useful when a brief ordinal measure of global pain severity is required.
