Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain

Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
Conclusions. Topical NSAIDs may vary significantly in their absorption kinetics and pharmacodynamic effects, based on NSAID molecule and the formulation chosen. Some topical NSAID formulations have been shown to be more effective than placebo in multiple studies, or to have comparable efficacy and a better safety profile than oral NSAIDs for single joint osteoarthritis and acute muscle injuries. In acute and chronic low back pain, widespread musculoskeletal pain, and in peripheral neuropathic pain syndromes, the current evidence does not support the use of topical NSAIDs.

The relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and iliotibial band tightness in individuals with low back pain

March 5, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment

The relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and iliotibial band tightness in individuals with low back pain
Background: Shortening of the iliotibial band (ITB) has been considered to be associated with low back pain (LBP). It is theorized that ITB tightness in individuals with LBP is a compensatory mechanism following hip abductor muscle weakness. However, no study has clinically examined this theory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle imbalance of hip abductor muscle weakness and ITB tightness in subjects with LBP. Methods: A total of 300 subjects with and without LBP between the ages of 20 and 60 participated in this cross-sectional study. Subjects were categorized in three groups: LBP with ITB tightness (n=100), LBP without ITB tightness (n=100) and no LBP (n=100). Hip abductor muscle strength was measured in all subjects. Results: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with the…

Exertional paraspinal muscle rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome: a cause of back pain not to be missed

The rarity of the syndrome has prevented the establishment of specific guidelines for management; therefore, we will discuss this case in the context of similar previously reported cases, contrasting the various treatment approaches and outcomes described in previous reports. This discussion outlines a syndrome not commonly considered in the differential diagnosis of back pain.

An atypical localisation of tuberculosis infection in patients undergoing haemodialysis: a case report

An atypical localisation of tuberculosis infection in patients undergoing haemodialysis: a case report
Spinal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare skeletal system localisation of TB in haemodialysis patients. In this paper, a case of Pott’s disease with a psoas muscle abscess is reported. The patient had been on the dialysis programme for five years and was complaining of back pain, weight loss and weakness, which were investigated. A thoracolumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple paravertebral abscesses invading the psoas muscle. TB diagnosis was made by microbiological analysis of specimen, which was obtained by fine needle aspiration under computerised tomography guidance. (Source: Journal of Renal Care)

Saphenous neuropathy in a patient with low back pain.

January 24, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment

Saphenous neuropathy in a patient with low back pain.
We present a male patient with low back pain concomitant with pain in medial portion of thigh and numbness in addition to pain in leg and inferior part of patella after a strenuous activity . Preliminary diagnosis suggested that the patient had radiculopathy but electrodiagnostic tests revealed the absence of left saphenous response both in medial leg and infrapatellar region, while normal findings were recorded from right side. Needle electromyography in L4 innervated muscles can differentiate between radiculopathy and saphenous neuropathy. The patient had saphenous nerve entrapment in left thigh. Two months later symptoms relieved completely with conservative therapy. (Source: BioMed Central)

Changes in paraspinal muscles and their association with low back pain and spinal degeneration: CT study
This study was an ancillary project to the Framingham Study. A sample of 3,529 participants aged 40–80 years had a CT scan performed to assess aortic calcification. 187 individuals were randomly enrolled in this study. LBP in the last 12 months was evaluated using self-report questionnaire. Density (in Hounsfield units) of multifidus and erector spinae was evaluated on CT. The prevalence of intervertebral disc narrowing, facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis were also evaluated. We used linear regression models to examine the association of paraspinal muscles density with age, sex, BMI, LBP, and spinal degeneration features. The results show that in our study, men have higher density of paraspinal muscles than women, young…

Curing Back Pain With Asanas
Back pain is one of the most frequent health problems in adults. About 8 out of 10 adults suffer from this problem one time or the other in their life.

You get relief in back pain by doing following asanas if the pain is not due to any injury or other medical reasons.
