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.

摘要
老年人因骨质流失而使骨折的发生率增加,尤其是停经后的妇女。该系统评价的目的在重新评估以WBV治疗绝经后妇女骨质疏松症的临床试验疗效。
方法。数据搜索和研究选择:已搜索下列数据库:Pub-Med、Medline、Science Direct 和 Google Scholar,搜索时使用下列关键词:“全身振动(WBV)“、“骨质疏松症”、“绝经后妇女“、”骨矿物质密度(BMD)“等。数据提取:我们提取样本大小、年龄、研究设计、基线结果、全身振动细节和主要发现。
结果。部分研究显示WBV可增加骨矿物质密度,然而大部分研究均显示它并未使绝经后妇女的骨矿物质密度显著增加。
结论。我们得出结论是在WBV技术对骨矿物质密度的影响上尚未无共识。
