Low Back Pain: A proposal
Executive Summary
Twelve weeks ago, I submitted a proposal to study the low back in the united states and how it’s a big problem in the united states. US adults with low back pain are socioeconomically disadvantaged, make frequent healthcare visits and are often covered by government-sponsored health insurance. The clustering of behavioral, psychosocial, and medical issues should be considered in the care of Americans with Low back pain.
Back pain is common, whether it is measured as a symptom in the general population, as a source of disability, as a reason for seeking health care, or as a cause of both short- and long-term work loss. In any one year 38% of adult’s experience at least one day of low back pain – a figure which does not include menstrual pain or pain accompanying a feverish illness.1,2 Some 10% of adults in any one-month experience restriction of work or other activities as a result of low back pain. The course of low back pain in an individual’s lifetime is often recurrent, intermittent, and episodic3 and for 5% of adults it becomes a more persistently disabling condition.
The primary objective is to evaluate the distribution of key epidemiologic characteristics among US working-age adults with chronic low back pain and to identify factors, associated with frequent healthcare use in this population.
