详细描述
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.
