Incidence of self-limiting back pain in children following caudal blockade: an exploratory study.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide support that transient self-limiting back pain after caudal blockade does occur in pediatric patients. Clinically, this is useful information for physicians to provide to their patients. An exploration of factors that may be associated with back pain following caudal blockade in children is an interesting area of future research.

Process evaluation of a Participatory Ergonomics programme to prevent low back pain and neck pain among workers
Conclusions: PE can be a successful method to develop and to prioritise ergonomic measures to prevent LBP and NP. Despite the positive rating of the PE programme the implementation of the prioritised ergonomic measures was lower than expected.Trial registrationCurrent Controlled Trials ISRCTN27472278 (Source: Implementation Science)

Physical conditioning programs for improving work outcomes among workers with back pain.

August 25, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Physical conditioning programs for improving work outcomes among workers with back pain.
CONCLUSIONS: The effectiveness of physical conditioning programs in reducing sick leave for workers with back pain remains uncertain. For acute back pain, these programs probably have no effect; for subacute back pain, the effect is unclear, and for chronic back pain there is a small effect at one year follow-up that does not last in the long run. Remaining heterogeneity could not be explained by meta-regression. A better understanding of the mechanism behind physical conditioning programs and return to work is needed to develop more effective interventions.

Primary iliopsoas abscess and pregnancy.
CONCLUSION:: Primary iliopsoas abscess should be considered in the differential diagnosis of low-back pain among high-risk pregnant women. Clinicians should be vigilant in identifying high-risk factors and aggressive in treating this rare and potentially fatal complication.

Safety and efficacy of a new percutaneously implantable interspinous process device

Safety and efficacy of a new percutaneously implantable interspinous process device
Conclusions  The In-space is a percutaneous treatment option of claudication in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Compared with microsurgical decompression surgery, recurrence rate within 1 year is, however, high and the device seems not suitable for the treatment of low back pain. Therefore, the authors suggest that the device should presently be used primarily in controlled clinical trials in order to get more information concerning the optimal indication.

Low back pain and work-related factors among nurses in intensive care units
Conclusions. A high prevalence of back pain was found in intensive care unit nurses, even though they comprise a very young workforce in Korea.Relevance to clinical practice. Improving nurse staffing, reducing the frequency of night shifts and assessing risk factors in specific intensive care unit specialties are suggested to decrease back pain prevalence.

Physiotherapists’ telephone consultations regarding back pain: A method to analyze screening of risk factors.
Conclusions: The method of analysis appears reliable. It will be used in an intervention study that evaluates to what extent physiotherapists can learn to screen in concordance with guidelines in initial telephone consultations.

Goal scaling for low back pain in primary care: development of a semi-structured interview incorporating minimal important change
Conclusions The formation of individualized goal scales was successful in all of the participants in this study. Patients were able to understand the concept of ‘minimal important change’, and identify a specific target to reflect this for two-thirds of their chosen goals.
