"Approximately 11 million adults seek medical treatment for back pain each year. The data suggest that back pain is more prevalent in the United States than in a number of developed countries. The findings from this study also show that the need for care for back pain may be higher in the United States than in other developed countries." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Pain management is a common treatment for [back pain](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/back-pain) and is often difficult to relieve. One of the most common treatments for back pain is a fusion or rod placement. The placement of a fusion rod or screw usually results in little pain relief, but it does ease the mobility of a spine that has been damaged by trauma, tumor, or disease. Stretching and adjusting exercises such as the McKenzie brace or slant seat exercises have been proven to be highly effective for treating chronic back pain. Exercises such as shoulder shrugs, calf raisers, and lunges and abdominal exercises that strengthen the glutes, lower back and core are also part of the back pain management program." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The cause of back pain is complex. Many predisposing and precipitating factors, including genetic and psychological characteristics, environmental events such as work load, physical injuries, and lifestyle, are associated with back pain. In many patients, the cause of back pain can only be determined when other confounding factors are controlled for." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Pain is caused by a complex interplay between the brain and the extremities, including extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Pain management involves pain-management that is multidisciplinary. Current guidelines are ambiguous, indicating that only 50 to 70% of patients with back pain can be cured with existing treatments." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Pain may be present in the back, upper back, or hips or shoulders. It may feel like an old injury but present a little differently during the day or night. Pain or stiffness in the back is also known as sciatica. It may be caused by a degenerated disc, spinal fusion or infection. Spinal stenosis is a very common condition at the root of [back pain](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/back-pain). It is a condition where there is a tightness or restriction at the base of part of the spine." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The prevalence of [back pain](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/back-pain) in US adults is low, but pain worsens the quality of life of many people, and its burden is increasing. Future research is needed to understand and ameliorate the risk factors and processes contributing to the etiology, trajectory and presentation of back pain; its persistence and risk of being chronic. There are also urgent questions about the best quality care for individuals with back pain and ways to reduce their use of health resources." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"The current literature is extremely interesting, but often too broad to be applied to clinical practice, given the nature of the scientific research. For example, more research is needed to elucidate what kind of treatment is most effective in relieving the patient’s pain. However, recent advances in the treatment of back pain will likely come to the clinic soon, and for this reason, we advise our patients to continue checking back pain literature updates." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In most cases, [back pain](https://www.withpower.com/clinical-trials/back-pain) is reasonably manageable. The main treatment objectives are to reduce pain and to maintain muscle tone. Although some people have severe back pain that is refractory to treatment and prevents them from doing everyday activities, spinal surgery with or without fusion will not solve their chronic back pain. Findings from a recent study strongly indicate that back pain can be a normal symptom, in patients with normal spines, who have undergone successful fusion surgery." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Results indicate that one-time, in-person interventions are not necessarily superior to no intervention. Remote interventions can be effective by changing the patient's attitude or changing the patient's interaction style with caregivers (i.e. the patient's ability to listen and reciprocate care-giving attentions)." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Back pain is not linked to family history of back pain, suggesting that genetic susceptibility to back pain is a complex trait, possibly the result of the summation of a number of susceptibility factors." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In this pilot study, the prevalence and intensity of the most frequently reported side effects were in accordance with those previously reported for other online psychological interventions. Future studies, however, are needed to examine whether specific measures or technologies in these interventions could reduce their prevalence." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"A study evaluating the effectiveness of individualized, motivational, face-to-face telephone counseling delivered by a specialist in a primary care setting may detect statistically and clinically significant improvements similar to those found in published systematic reviews. A comparison of the results of the study with that of a well-established and accepted intervention and treatment in medicine, of the management of depression, is necessary to establish a meaningful standard of comparison." - Anonymous Online Contributor
