Summary: The study found that chronic low back pain may alter some normal gait patterns, leading to imbalances in the gait cycle. Further research is deemed necessary to explore this phenomenon. Gait plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal health and affects daily life.

Summary: This study compares the clinical outcome of different treatments for chronic low back pain and finds that the combination of alpha-lipoic acid, palmitoylethanolamide, myrrh, and oxygen-ozone therapy can be considered a valid alternative to traditional approaches.

Summary: The study found a bidirectional associations between poor sleep quality and chronic low back pain, with changes in PSQI values increasing the likelihood of reporting cLBP at follow-up. Baseline cLBP was associated with worsened sleep quality at follow-up. Mental health conditions such as self-rated health, depression, and anxiety play a relevant role in the bidirectional associations between sleep and chronic low back pain.

Summary: This study found a bidirectional association between poor sleep quality and chronic low back pain (cLBP). Changes in sleep quality over time were associated with an increased likelihood of cLBP, and baseline cLBP was associated with worsened sleep quality. Mental health conditions played a significant confounding role in the relationship between sleep and cLBP.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the perception of thermal grill illusion (TGI)-related sensations or pain in patients with chronic lower back pain (CLBP). The CLBP group showed a less intense perception of TGI for sensations of warmth/heat, unpleasantness, and pain than the control group. These results may be useful for clinicians to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs or interventions to manage centralized LBP.

Summary: The study found a significant association between low back pain and sleep disturbance, particularly stronger link with higher frequency of low back pain. Antecedent low back pain was also significantly linked to new-onset sleep disturbance, especially in cases of more frequent low back pain.

Summary: The study explored the relationship between sleep and fatigue, finding that self-reported nightly sleep quality significantly predicted subsequent daily fatigue ratings, while total sleep time was a significant predictor of fatigue within participants. Additionally, unhelpful sleep beliefs and rumination about fatigue mediated the relationship between insomnia and fatigue reporting.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship and conformity between self-reported and objectively measured sleep parameters. The findings suggest a discrepancy between subjective and objective sleep parameters in people with chronic spinal pain and comorbid insomnia, with participants tending to underestimate total sleep time and overestimate sleep onset latency.

Summary: This study found an association between sleep disturbance and low back pain (LBP) through a longitudinal study. The longer and more frequent the sleep disturbance, the stronger the effect on LBP. Attention should be paid to sleep disturbance for the treatment and prevention of LBP.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility and reliability of using actigraphy for sleep monitoring in intensive care unit patients. Results showed that actigraphy had a moderate level of agreement with polysomnography in distinguishing between sleep and wakeful states, especially among non-ventilated patients. The study suggests that actigraphy may be a reasonable alternative to measure sleep in intensive care settings.

Summary: This study suggests that patients with different chronic pain conditions exhibit neuroinflammation, which is accompanied by neurophysiological changes and correlates with clinical presentation. These findings contribute to the subtyping of distinct pain syndromes and provide potential targets for precision medicine.

Summary: This case study examines the sleep patterns of a 17.6-year-old professional football player who experienced excessive night-time awakenings. The player underwent subjective and objective sleep assessments, and a sleep hygiene intervention was prescribed based on the data. The results showed improved sleep quality and lower wake episodes compared to pre-intervention levels and reference data from a similar professional cohort.

Summary: Opioid therapies improve sleep quality and reduce sleep disturbance in patients with chronic low back pain, but there is still a lack of research on objective sleep outcomes.
