CONCLUSIONS: The Racz catheter technique is a superior interventional option for lumbar epidural steroid delivery in patients with persistent LBP, providing enhanced pain relief, improved functional outcomes, greater patient satisfaction, and equivalent procedural safety compared to the conventional technique.

CONCLUSION: The overall self-management activation for LBP among ICU nurses needs to be improved urgently. Although these nurses demonstrate a strong motivation for self-management, they possess insufficient knowledge regarding LBP. Therefore, future interventions should be tailored to key factors such as ICU nurses’ age, years of work experience, education level, exercise frequency, participation in LBP prevention training, presenteeism, and perceived social support. Developing such precise and…

Physiotherapy is a widely used form of treatment of low back pain (LBP) and is important in non-surgical/surgical management of patients with lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV). This review presents physiotherapeutic management in LSTV patients with LBP. A search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Medline, and Google Scholar between November 20 and December 31, 2023. The mean age of patients was 39 years. The patients had an average of 13 sessions, and the average duration of…

CONCLUSION: SCS relieved pain and resulted in clinically significant improvements in functional disability and health-related quality of life in patients with non-surgical, refractory back pain with or without accompanying leg pain.

INTRODUCTION: Musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent among older adults and a leading cause of disability. Digital health promises to deliver timely and quality care, but existing reviews fail to be specific for older adults, focus on a single type of technology or a single body site, and do not provide an integrated overview of the effectiveness of current digital interventions. This systematic review with meta-analysis (Prospero ID: CRD42024549668) aimed to assess the effectiveness of…
