Low Back Pain (LBP) and chronic cervical pain are the most common and catastrophic ones leading in disability and work absenteeism . Despite wide coverage of researches and literature regarding chronic MSD pain and developing evidence-based guidelines to help patients and physicians , the high proportion of such patients suggests shortage of present strategies. Studies showed neglected acute pains could cause neuroplasticity processes in Central Nerve System (CNS) which stimulate pain centers without stimulants leading to chronic pain that is difficult to manage . Therefore, prevention of pain chronicity might have large effects in terms of patients’ quality of life and costs for health care system. We need to know: factors influencing pain chronicity, recognizing tools to detect these factors and using strategies to target factors for further changes.

Journal Article 1970 01 01 Aims: Backpacks are the most popular means of carrying backpack among school going students, but long duration of backpack carrying might lead to MusculoSkeletal Disorders (MSDs) among them. The purpose of the present study was to determine if MSDs could be related to backpack carrying among school going students. Method and Instruments: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 159 students selected by convenience sampling from four schools in Pars Abad city of Ardabil in Iran in Autumn 2019. A combination of two Nordic and Cornell questionnaires used to collect the data via self-reporting , an anatomical figure of musculoskeletal system was provided to mark the area of pain , and also the students’ body weight and weight of their backpack were recorded using a digital weighting scale. Data analysis was performed using SPSS-23 software by Chi-Square test and descriptive statistics. Findings: Lower back, neck, and wrist pains were the most common pains, respectively. Based on the results of Chi-square test, none of the musculoskeletal pains were significant association with transport ways vehicles to school such as walking, cycling, by car except for ankle pain (P-value <0.05). However, students who walked to school reported a higher prevalence of MSDs. Conclusion: According to the study’s results, there was only a significant association between “types of transport to school” with ankle pain among students who carried backpack during last 12 month. Hence, it is recommended that researchers consider other determinants of these disorders in future research.

The prevalence of LBP in Iran is almost as high as in other countries of the world. There are no accurate data on prevalence of LBP in Iran. Thus, the aim of this research was to estimate the prevalence of LBP and risk factors in Iran during a systematic way. Method and Instruments: Totally, 17 studies of internal databases including Iran Doc, Magiran, SID, Iran Medex, Medlib and external databases including Scopus, Pubmed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, Medline through using keywords like “Iran”, “LBP”, “children,” Adolescents, “Associated Factors”, “Prevalence” were obtained. Findings: The prevalence and risk factors of LBP in children and adolescents were obtained from 15 articles with a sample size of 24,175. The lowest and highest prevalence of LBP in children and adolescents were 50% and 7.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of LBP in children and adolescents and the numerous demographic, personal, physical, familial and psychological risk factors, the LBP prevent planning for this age group to prevent and promote health is strongly recommended. LBP has a special place in the community’s health education, owing to its’ prevalence andits impact on health of people during youth and adulthood period.
