“…That study also reported an inverse correlation between LBM and low back pain intensity. 26 This is in line with the present study findings where LBM had a weak negative correlation with pain intensity, affect, and disability, reflecting the impact of increased core muscle mass and strength in decreasing low back pain.…”

ObjectivesThis study aimed at devising an objective method for quantifying pain in the low back region using pressure pain threshold (PPT) and demographic factors as predictive variables.MethodsThe research was conducted in two phases. Phase I was a longitudinal exploratory study conducted on 49 men aged 18–50 years with chronic low back pain (CLBP) recruited using non-probability purposive sampling. We used Visual Analogue Scale to record pain intensity and pain affect, and Disability Rating Index to record associated disability. PPT was measured on 12 different locations on the lower back using a manual algometer. These measurements were taken from each participant in 1 to 6-follow-up visits, depending on improvement in the individual’s symptoms. In phase II additional 33 subjects, both men and women with varying durations of low back pain were recruited using non-probability convenience sampling. Repeated measures ordinal regression and receiver’s operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to develop predictive models using STATA V.16.0 and R V.3.5.2 software. These models were given an interface using Microsoft Excel. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsHigher PPT scores, increased lean body mass, lean physique and a longer duration of CLBP were associated with a reduction in CLBP intensity, affect and disability. Advancing age was associated with an increase in these outcomes. Collectively, these factors were found to predict pain intensity, affect, and disability with 63%–65% diagnostic accuracy in phase I, however, this diagnostic accuracy increased to 65%–78% in phase II.ConclusionWe developed a new outcome tool ‘Pain Calculator’ that can objectively measure low back pain with sufficient statistical accuracy. With further refinement, this tool in the future can be configured to measure somatic pain in different regions as well, affording clinicians and researchers much-needed objectivity while recording pain levels.Trial registration numberNCT04482075.

Influence of Selected Pain Characteristics on Segmental Spine Range of Motion in Patients with Low-Back Pain

Abstract: This case control study recruited 202 participants (101 patients with LBP and 101 healthy controls). The participants with LBP were recruited from five government owned physiotherapy outpatient clinics from the SouthWestern part of Nigeria namely that of the
