Clinical Trial Summary

This is a behavioral observational study aimed at evaluating the presence of low back pain in young people and the intention to undertake osteopathic treatments. It consists of a short self-administered questionnaire which will be given to adolescents with gnathological/orthodontics disorders to complete. Relationships between low back pain of young individuals' answers with the intention to undertake osteopathic treatments will be evaluated.


Description:

This is a behavioral observational study aimed at evaluating the presence of low back pain in young people and the intention to undertake osteopathic treatments. Literature found out that low back pain is a common occurrence in young people. Adolescents develop frequently gnathological/orthodontics disorders. In Italy, young individuals with low back pain and gnathological/orthodontics disorders are frequently referred to osteopaths. In Literature there are not studies which correlate low back pain, osteopathic cures and gnathological/orthodontics disorders as for young persons. The study consists of a short self-administered questionnaire which will be given to young people to complete. In more details, the survey is made of 8 questions collecting information on presence/intensity of low back pain, intention to have osteopathic treatments, and (in that case) the satisfaction after the cures. Further, participants will have to complete a self-administered pain intensity numerical rating scale. Descriptive statistics will be presented by taking into account the socio-demographic characteristics of the sample being investigated. Statistical correlations between adolescents' answers and the pain intensity numerical rating scale will be also evaluated. This study investigates the relationships among low back pain, gnathological/orthodontics disorders, and osteopathic cures.
