Objective Of The Study: (1) To describe the levels of serum vitamin D in patients with nonspecific low back pain(CNLBP) (2) To compare the levels of vitamin D in patients with non specific low back pain and patients with no prior history of low back pain.
Methods: Thirty patients diagnosed with chronic non specific LBP and thirty healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. A total sixty patients are included in the study.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 35.7 ± 9.7 years and control group was 40.0 ± 8.0. The scores from all the dimensions of the Short Form 36 and Beck Depression Inventory were significantly lower in the patient group. The vitamin D (25OHD3) level was also significantly lower in the patient group. According to the Oswestry Disability Scale, the daily life of the patients was observed to be limited due to LBP.
Conclusion: In the patients with chronic nonspecific LBP [CNLBP], 25OHD3 level is lower than the healthy controls. In CNLBP, increasing incidence of depression, deterioration in the quality of life, and serious functional impairment are observed. Vitamin D levels should be evaluated and any deficiency should be treated in patients with CLBP.
