          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: El dolor lumbar representa una problemática de salud pública ante la discapacidad que genera, sea motora o sensitiva de etiología multifactorial, en la cual el atrapamiento de los nervios cluneales cumple un papel importante, encontrando como una alternativa al dolor por esta patología el manejo intervencionista. El objetivo principal del estudio fue establecer la efectividad del bloqueo de nervios cluneales en dolor lumbar crónico en pacientes mayores de 18 años de dos hospitales de Bogotá. Métodos: Estudio de tipo observacional, retrospectivo, realizado en pacientes diagnosticados con dolor lumbar crónico y signos y síntomas de atrapamiento de nervios cluneales o clunealgía llevados a bloqueo de nervios cluneales en quienes que se evaluó la intensidad del dolor y duración del efecto analgésico en cuatro momentos. Resultados: Se identificaron 45 pacientes; de estos, 11 no presentaban datos de seguimiento. El 93 % (n = 35) de los pacientes presentaron una EVA (escala visual análoga del dolor) mayor a 7 previo al procedimiento, el 28 % (n = 11) presentaron postbloqueo inmediato mejoría del dolor con una EVA menor a 6, en el primer control el 57 % (n = 22) conservaron la mejoría alcanzada, y el 10 % (n = 4) retornó a su estado basal de dolor. En el segundo, el 10 % (n = 4) de los pacientes no presentaron cambios en la intensidad, y el 78,9 % (n = 30) conservaba mejoría en la intensidad del dolor. Conclusiones: El bloqueo de los nervios cluneales es una alternativa vanguardista de manejo transitorio del dolor lumbar crónico que permitirá seleccionar con mayor objetividad los pacientes candidatos a intervencionismo guiado por fluoroscopia. Se propone la realización de estudios mediante estudios tipo III como los ensayos aleatorizados con grupos donde se administre placebo versus mezclas analgésicas en pacientes con clunealgía.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Low back pain represents a public health problem due to the disability it generates, whether motor or sensory, of multifactorial etiology, in which cluneal nerve entrapment plays an important role, finding an alternative to pain from this pathology. interventional management. The main objective of the study was to establish the efficacy of cluneal nerve block in chronic low back pain in patients older than 18 years from two hospitals in Bogotá. Methods: Observational, retrospective study, carried out in patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain and signs and symptoms of cluneal nerve entrapment or clunealgia leading to cluneal nerve block in whom pain intensity and duration of the analgesic effect were evaluated. in four moments. Results: 45 patients were identified; of these, 11 did not present follow-up data. 93 % (n = 35) of the patients presented a VAS (visual analogue pain scale) greater than 7 prior to the procedure, 28 % (n = 11) presented immediate post-block pain improvement with a VAS less than 6, 57 % at the first control (n = 22) maintained the improvement achieved, and 10 % (n = 4) returned to their baseline state of pain. In the second, 10 % (n = 4) of the patients did not show changes in intensity, and 78.9 % (n = 30) maintained improvement in pain intensity. Conclusions: Cluneal nerve blocks are an avant-garde alternative for the temporary management of chronic low back pain that will make it possible to more objectively select patients who are candidates for fluoroscopy-guided intervention. Studies are proposed using type III studies such as randomized trials with groups where placebo is administered versus analgesic mixtures in patients with clunealgia.

          The Epidemiology of low back pain.

          Low back pain is an extremely common problem that most people experience at some point in their life. While substantial heterogeneity exists among low back pain epidemiological studies limiting the ability to compare and pool data, estimates of the 1 year incidence of a first-ever episode of low back pain range between 6.3% and 15.4%, while estimates of the 1 year incidence of any episode of low back pain range between 1.5% and 36%. In health facility- or clinic-based studies, episode remission at 1 year ranges from 54% to 90%; however, most studies do not indicate whether the episode was continuous between the baseline and follow-up time point(s). Most people who experience activity-limiting low back pain go on to have recurrent episodes. Estimates of recurrence at 1 year range from 24% to 80%. Given the variation in definitions of remission and recurrence, further population-based research is needed to assess the daily patterns of low back pain episodes over 1 year and longer. There is substantial information on low back pain prevalence and estimates of the point prevalence range from 1.0% to 58.1% (mean: 18.1%; median: 15.0%), and 1 year prevalence from 0.8% to 82.5% (mean: 38.1%; median: 37.4%). Due to the heterogeneity of the data, mean estimates need to be interpreted with caution. Many environmental and personal factors influence the onset and course of low back pain. Studies have found the incidence of low back pain is highest in the third decade, and overall prevalence increases with age until the 60-65 year age group and then gradually declines. Other commonly reported risk factors include low educational status, stress, anxiety, depression, job dissatisfaction, low levels of social support in the workplace and whole-body vibration. Low back pain has an enormous impact on individuals, families, communities, governments and businesses throughout the world. The Global Burden of Disease 2005 Study (GBD 2005) is currently making estimates of the global burden of low back pain in relation to impairment and activity limitation. Results will be available in 2011. Further research is needed to help us understand more about the broader outcomes and impacts from low back pain. 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

            Global, regional and national burden of low back pain 1990–2019: A systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease study 2019

            Background To comprehensively analyze the global level and trends of prevalence, incidence and years lived with disability (YLDs) for low back pain (LBP) from 1990 to 2019 by age, sex and sociodemographic index (SDI). Methods Publicly available modelled data and methods were obtained from the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study 2019, and used to evaluate the global burden of LBP through a systematic analysis. Results Globally, the age-standardized prevalence, incidence and YLDs rate of LBP were slightly decreased from 1990 to 2019, but the number of the prevalent cases, incident cases and YLDs had substantially increased, and LBP remains the leading cause of YLDs in 2019 worldwide. The number of prevalent cases was increased with age and peaked at the age of 45–54 years for both sexes, and the global prevalence rate was higher in females than in males and increased with age, peaking at the 80–84 age group in both sexes in 2019. Overall, a positive association between the age-standardized YLD rate and SDI was observed over the past thirty years. At the national revel, the United States, Denmark and Switzerland had the three highest levels of age-standardized prevalence, while Zambia, Zimbabwe and Canada showed the highest increase in the age-standardized prevalence during 1990–2019. Conclusions LBP is a major public health issue globally, and its burden remains high. Increasing population awareness about its risk factors and preventive measures for LBP are needed to reduce the future burden of this condition. The translational potential of this article Due to the high prevalence and heavy burden of LBP globally, it is important to update its epidemiological data. This systematic analysis provides researchers and healthcare policy makers with up-to-date, comprehensive and comparable information on global LBP burden, which is of clinical translational significance.

              Prospective study of superior cluneal nerve disorder as a potential cause of low back pain and leg symptoms

              Background Entrapment of the superior cluneal nerve (SCN) in an osteofibrous tunnel has been reported as a cause of low back pain (LBP). However, there are few reports on the prevalence of SCN disorder and there are several reports only on favorable outcomes of treatment of SCN disorder on LBP. The purposes of this prospective study were to investigate the prevalence of SCN disorder and to characterize clinical manifestations of this clinical entity. Methods A total of 834 patients suffering from LBP and/or leg symptoms were enrolled in this study. Diagnostic criteria for suspected SCN disorder were that the maximally tender point was on the posterior iliac crest 70 mm from the midline and that palpation of the tender point reproduced the chief complaint. When patients met both criteria, a nerve block injection was performed. At the initial evaluation, LBP and leg symptoms were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) score. At 15 min and 1 week after the injection, VAS pain levels were recorded. If insufficient pain decrease or recurrence of pain was observed, injections were repeated weekly up to three times. Surgery was done under microscopy. Operative findings of the SCN and outcomes were recorded. Results Of the 834 patients, 113 (14%) met the criteria and were given nerve block injections. Of these, 54 (49%) had leg symptoms. Before injection, the mean VAS score was 68.6 ± 19.2 mm. At 1 week after injection, the mean VAS score significantly decreased to 45.2 ± 28.8 mm (p < 0.05). Ninety-six of the 113 patients (85%) experienced more than a 20 mm decrease of the VAS score following three injections and 77 patients (68%) experienced more than a 50% decrease in the VAS score. Surgery was performed in 19 patients who had intractable symptoms. Complete and almost complete relief of leg symptoms were obtained in five of these surgical patients. Conclusions SCN disorder is not a rare clinical entity and should be considered as a cause of chronic LBP or leg pain. Approximately 50% of SCN disorder patients had leg symptoms.
