(1) Background: The frequency of back pain diagnosis and treatment has markedly increased in recent years. Back pain may be caused by many factors and discopathy is one of them. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of age and sex on back pain intensity in rehabilitated patients with discopathy treated conservatively and surgically; (2) Methods: The study included 137 patients: 96 undergoing conservative therapy and 41 after back surgery due to discopathy. VAS and the Laitinen scale were used for pain assessment. All patients underwent a multidirectional rehabilitation program at the Department of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine of the Medical University in Łódź; (3) Results: No statistically significant effect of age and sex was observed on the level of pain intensity on VAS and the Laitinen scale; (4) Conclusions: Age and sex do not seem to affect back pain intensity in rehabilitated patients treated conservatively and surgically for discopathy. The problem requires further research on a larger group of patients.
(1) 背景:近年来,背痛的诊断和治疗频率显著增加。背痛可能由多种因素引起,椎间盘病变是其中之一。本研究的目的是评估年龄和性别对经保守治疗和手术治疗的椎间盘病变康复患者背痛强度的影响;(2) 方法:该研究纳入了137例患者:96例接受保守治疗,41例因椎间盘病变接受背部手术后的患者。采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)和莱蒂宁量表进行疼痛评估。所有患者均在罗兹医科大学康复与物理医学系接受了多方向康复计划;(3) 结果:未观察到年龄和性别对VAS及莱蒂宁量表疼痛强度水平有统计学显著影响;(4) 结论:年龄和性别似乎不会影响经保守治疗和手术治疗的椎间盘病变康复患者的背痛强度。该问题需要对更大规模的患者群体进行进一步研究。
