BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most frequent reasons for medical consultation. Most of the patients will have nonspecific LBP, which usually are self-limited episodes. It is unclear which of the diagnostic imaging pathways is most effective and costeffective and how the imaging impacts on patient treatment. Imaging techniques are usually indicated if symptoms remain after 6 weeks. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic imaging examination of choice in lumbar spine evaluation of low back pain; however, availability of MRI is limited...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of complex therapy in patients with chronic nonspecific lumbalgia associated with various pain triggers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: There were 121 patients with chronic nonspecific lumbalgia (average duration of pain 8.0±5.0 months) aged 22 to 59 years (average age 42.1±10.5). The lesion of the facet joints (24.8%), sacroiliac joint (23.2%), muscles (16.5%) or their combined lesion (35.5%) was established as pain triggers of lumbalgia...

INTRODUCTION: A 65-year-old patient presented with subtle lumbalgia twenty days following his failed endovascular retrograde recanalization of the right iliac artery, followed by a surgical femoral-femoral left-to-right by-pass graft. CASE PRESENTATION: Computer tomography angiography (CTA) revealed a left-sided 18 mm large pseudoaneurysm (PA) at the level of L5 lumbar vertebrae adjacent to the aorta. This lumbal artery originated from the false lumen of the known chronic infrarenal aortic dissection...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe the diagnoses and chiropractic services performed by doctors of chiropractic operating within 3 military treatment facilities for patients with low back pain (LBP). METHODS: This was a descriptive secondary analysis of a pragmatic clinical trial comparing usual medical care (UMC) plus chiropractic care to UMC alone for U.S. active-duty military personnel with LBP. Participants who were allocated to receive UMC plus 6 weeks of chiropractic care and who attended at least 1 chiropractic visit (n = 350; 1547 unique visits) were included in this analysis...

OBJECTIVES: Chronic pain is a complex process that can vary depending on factors such as time evolution, mood, or even previous experiences. Our objective is to describe patient's characteristics from those who were referred with a diagnosis of low back pain in their first Pain Unit (PU) visit, and identify those factors that may interfere with their pain perception. METHODS: Inferential analysis was carried out from data recorded in the PU database of the Hospital de la Santa Creu y Sant Pau in Barcelona, from November 2012 to November 2018...

Approximately 70% of adults will experience low back pain at some point in their life. Most of the cases cannot be identified a cause, being nonspecific pains. The clinical guidelines on the management of low back pain indicate suspecting the presence of serious processes by means of the so-called red flags. Abdominal aortic aneurysm in 91% of cases is accompanied by low back pain, hence its importance of including it as a differential diagnosis. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with low back pain, without improvement with conservative treatment, referred to a rehabilitation consultation 3months after the onset of symptoms, and in the event of warning signs, imaging studies are requested that show abdominal aortic aneurysm and mass right kidney...

The epidural blood patch (EBP) is a solution for persistent headaches following an accidental dural puncture. We report three cases where EBP was performed immediately after dural puncture combined with drug administration for lumbago. To the best of our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported in the literature. The patients provided their informed consent, and all standard protocols were followed. At the moment of the dural puncture, all the patients manifested severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, and profuse sweating...

BACKGROUND: Exercise therapy is recommended to treat non-specific low back pain (LBP). Home-based exercises are promising way to mitigate the lack of availability of exercise centers. In this paper, we conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis on the effects of home-based exercise on pain and functional limitation in LBP. METHOD: PubMed, Cochrane, Embase and ScienceDirect were searched until April 20th, 2021. In order to be selected, studies needed to report the pain and functional limitation of patients before and after home-based exercise or after exercise both in a center and at-home...

A 23-year-old African native male patient presented with fever, lumbalgia and dysuria after returning from a trip to Togo. His physical examination revealed pain over the pubic symphysis and rectal tenderness on digital exam. The C-reactive protein (CRP) level was elevated along with positive blood and urinary cultures for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . An magnetic resonance imaging that has been performed to rule out arthritis/osteomyelitis in the pubis revealed edema of the symphysis. An 18 F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography supported the diagnosis of prostate infection and showed a focal uptake of the pubic symphysis, with diffuse hyper-metabolism of the insertions of the rectus abdominis and longus adductor muscles, corresponding to athletic pubalgia...
