Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN ORTHOPAEDICS - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Depression is by far the most common emotion associated with chronic back pain. Chronic pain and depression are two of the most common health problems that health professionals encounter, yet only a handful of studies have investigated the relationship between these conditions in the general population. MATERIAL & METHODS: Patients more than 30yrs of age with low back pain of ≥3mths of duration were included in the study and depression in these patients was assessed by Depression Questionnaire (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale). RESULT AND ANALYSIS: Out of 228 patients included in the study, 132 patients had depression. The incidence rate of depression was 57.9%. CONCLUSION: There is a denitive positive co-relation between low back pain and depression. Also, there is more disability in patients of low back pain associated with depression.
