Multiple studies have been published regarding various nutritional supplements or interventions to improve chronic pain. However, many of these studies emphasized widespread pain and were not specific to the spine. Therefore, the primary objective of this scoping review was to evaluate available evidence related to nutritional supplementation or dietary strategies for spine-related pain. A comprehensive literature search was performed on October 11, 2022, and updated on May 2, 2024. Databases included: MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results were limited to those published within the past 10 years, to English-language articles, and excluded animal studies. Of the 2,081 screened articles, 29 were included in the final review. Of these, 26 focused on the low back, one on the neck, and two referred to generalized "back" pain. The largest number of studies were found on vitamins D and B, specifically for low back pain. However, there were conflicting findings for both vitamins; therefore, further research is necessary before these can be confidently recommended to patients suffering from low back pain. Furthermore, this scoping review identified a lack of consistency in study design, population or sample size, and outcome measures among currently published studies with a primary focus on nutritional supplementation or dietary strategies for spine-related pain.
关于各种营养补充剂或干预措施以改善慢性疼痛,已经发表了多项研究。然而,这些研究中的许多都强调广泛的疼痛,并非专门针对脊柱。因此,本范围综述的主要目的是评估与脊柱相关疼痛的营养补充或饮食策略相关的现有证据。于2022年10月11日进行了全面的文献检索,并于2024年5月2日更新。数据库包括:MEDLINE(PubMed)、Embase、Cochrane图书馆、Scopus和科学网。结果仅限于过去10年内发表的、英文文章,并排除动物研究。在筛选的2081篇文章中,29篇被纳入最终综述。其中,26篇关注下背部,1篇关注颈部,2篇提及全身性“背部”疼痛。关于维生素D和B的研究最多,特别是针对下背部疼痛。然而,这两种维生素的研究结果相互矛盾;因此,在可以自信地向患有下背部疼痛的患者推荐这些维生素之前,还需要进一步研究。此外,本范围综述发现,目前主要关注脊柱相关疼痛的营养补充或饮食策略的已发表研究在研究设计、人群或样本量以及结局指标方面缺乏一致性。
