Low handgrip strength is closely associated with chronic low back pain among women aged 50 years or older: A cross-sectional study using a national health survey

TL;DR: Low HGS in women aged over 50 years with low PA was significantly associated with the presence of LBP, and the relationship between low HGS and LBP was showed using a cross-sectional Korean population-based health survey.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a clinical decision support tool for diagnostic imaging use in patients with low back pain: a study protocol.

TL;DR: This project will develop a clinical decision support tool for appropriate use of diagnostic imaging for patients with low back pain in the emergency department, and construct and assess the performance of a multivariable prediction model that has strong measurement properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting pain recovery in patients with acute low back pain: Updating and validation of a clinical prediction model.

TL;DR: A prediction model was able to predict the likelihood of pain recovery in patients with acute LBP who continue to have pain approximately 1 week after initially seeking care, and the aims of the current study were to re‐categorize the variables in the developmental dataset to be able to validate the model in the validation dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive Oxygen Species Mediate Low Back Pain by Upregulating Substance P in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration.

TL;DR: ROS are primary inducers of LBP based on clinical and animal data, and the mechanism involves ROS stimulation of NPCs to secrete SP, which is a critical neurotransmitter peptide, to promote LBP in IVDs.

CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain - United States, 2016.

TL;DR: This guideline is intended to improve communication between clinicians and patients about the risks and benefits of opioid therapy for chronic pain, improve the safety and effectiveness of pain treatment, and reduce the risks associated with long-term opioid therapy, including opioid use disorder, overdose, and death.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
