Abstract
Introduction. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging pandemic disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome. Back pain could be triggered by the COVID-19 virus either directly or indirectly. However, to our knowledge, limited studies are addressing the development of chronic back pain or new-onset of back pain among COVID-19 survivors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the potential health consequences of COVID-19 on back pain among the COVID-19 survivors.
Methods. We used an electronically distributed survey targeting adult Jordanian citizens and residents who recovered from COVID-19 virus infection. The questionnaire composed questions regarding demographic characteristics, COVID-19 and spine injury-related information.
Results. 27.2% of participants reported increase of back pain with COVID during the episode and 16% of participants reported increased back pain after COVID with pain lasted less than 3 months in 16.6% and more than 3 months in 17.8% of them. There was significant increase on back pain level during COVID compared to pre COVID. At the same time there was significant increase on back pain post COVID compared to pre COVID.
Conclusion. The COVID-19 virus resulted in a significant increase in spine pain among COVID-19 survivors and it lead to chronic back pain among patients with risk factors and some develop new spine pain.
