Work-related musculoskeletal disorders in dockworkers. Systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Musculoskeletal disorders seem prevalent among dockworkers, mainly degenerative spinal diseases and low back pain. Studies with greater methodological consistency are still needed to validate these hypotheses and assist in decision-making for implementing preventive and informational policies in maritime port management organizations.

Relationship between onset of trunk muscle activities and pelvic kinematics in individuals with and without chronic low back pain
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that pelvic kinematics during prone hip extension does not predict the delayed trunk muscle onset in patients with CLBP.PMID:38607752 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-240028 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

Low back pain and kinesiophobia in pregnant women
CONCLUSION: LBP in pregnant women has a higher frequency than in the normal population, regardless of age, gestational week, and gravida. Obesity appears to be a risk factor for LBP and increases disability. Kinesiophobia in pregnant women is significantly associated with obesity and disability. Unless there are contraindications, a physically active pregnancy process and regular exercise should be recommend.PMID:38607751 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-240006 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

Different montages of transcranial direct current stimulation on postural stability in chronic low back pain patients: A randomized sham-controlled study
CONCLUSION: Based on the results, both a-tDCS and c-tDCS over the DLPFC had positive effects on postural control during cognitive postural tasks in CLBP patients with HPA.PMID:38607747 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230229 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)

How low back pain is managed-a mixed methods study in 32 countries. Part 2 of Low Back Pain in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Series
J Orthop Sports Phys Ther. 2024 Apr 11:1-42. doi: 10.2519/jospt.2024.12406. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The Lancet Series of Low Back Pain (LBP) highlighted the lack of LBP data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The study aimed to describe (1) what LBP care is currently delivered in LMICs, and (2) how that care is delivered. METHODS: An online mixed-methods study. A Consortium for LBP in LMICs (n=65) was developed with an expert panel of leading LBP researchers (>2 publications on LBP) and multidisciplinary clinicians and patient partners with five years of clinical/lived LBP experience in LMI...

Evolving role of viadisc for chronic low back and discogenic pain: a narrative review
Expert Opin Emerg Drugs. 2024 Apr 11. doi: 10.1080/14728214.2024.2339912. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Chronic lower back pain is a leading cause of disability and healthcare spending worldwide. Discogenic pain, pain originating from the intervertebral disk, is a common etiology of chronic lower back pain. Currently, accepted treatments for chronic discogenic pain focus only on the management of symptoms, such as pain. There are no approved treatments that stop or reverse degenerating intervertebral discs. Biologic therapies promoting disc regeneration have been developed to expand treatment options. VIADISC...
