Background. The appropriate selection of acupoints is fundamental to obtain a therapeutic effect from clinical acupuncture.Objective. Using a network analysis method, we investigated the acupoints that are combined to treat low back pain (LBP).Methods. To analyze the patterns of the combinations of acupoints, we used acupoint information from clinical trials to calculate the modified mutual information (MI) value, integrated these data, and visualized the network.Results. Based on the highest MI values, we found two different types of acupoint pairs used in the treatment of LBP: pairs of distant acupoints and pairs of local acupoints. Using modular analysis, we found that three acupoint modules were applied in the treatment of LBP: local acupoints, distant acupoints along the meridian, and distant acupoints based on the symptom differentiations.Conclusion. Using the modified MI technique, we provide a systematic framework for the acupoint combination network, and reveal how the technique of acupoint combination is used in the treatment of LBP. Application of this knowledge in acupuncture research may help clarify the mechanisms underlying acupuncture treatment at the systems level, bridging the gap between traditional medicine and modern science.

Introduction: Around 50-70% of pregnant women have reported pregnancy-related back pain during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Physical and physiological aspects during pregnancy might affect the quality of life (QoL) of pregnant women, and the problems due to the alteration can be seen in how they run their daily activities. The effect of LBP in pregnancy on the QoL among pregnant women must be known to avoid the pain that affects pregnant women’s activities and well-being. The aim of this study is to review the relationship between low back pain and the QoL during pregnancy.Methods: Using the search terms via PubMed and Google Scholar, seven cross-sectional studies have met the inclusion criteria and included for further analysis. The appraisal tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS) is used to assess the quality of the included studies including the risk of bias.Results: The findings show that LBP in pregnancy affects the level of quality of life such as sleep quality and sexual activity, limits the activities and productivities, and even make physical disability among pregnant women. The 75-90% was of the range score obtained from the AXIS critical appraisal.Conclusions: This review mentioned those pregnant women with PRBP had decreased QoL during and after childbirth, so the awareness of health professionals needs to be improved.

Abstract Background: Most people face low back pain problems at least once in their lifetimes. With the advancing technology, people have been consulting the internet regarding their diagnoses more and more over the last 20 years. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of YouTube videos on low back pain. Methods: The keyword “Low Back Pain” was used in our search on YouTube. The first 50 videos to come up in the search results were evaluated using JAMA, DISCERN, and GQS scoring systems. The individual correlation of each video and the correlation between the aforementioned scoring systems were statistically analyzed. Results: The average length of the 50 videos that were analyzed is 7,57 minutes (0,34 – 48,23 minutes), and the average daily view count of the videos is 331,14. Generally, video quality was found to be “poor”. On average, JAMA score was 1,64, DISCERN score was 1,63 and GQS score was 1,93. The most common videos found on the subject were those that were done by TV programs. And, videos by health information websites and by Hospitals / Doctors / Educational Institutions were, while still being below the threshold value, found to give higher quality information on the subject than the videos by other sources. Conclusion: Videos on YouTube regarding low back pain are of low quality, and most are created by unreliable sources. Therefore, such YouTube videos should not be recommended as patient education tools on low back pain. An important step in disseminating correct medical information to the public would be to have a platform where the accuracy and quality of given medical information are evaluated by medical experts.
