AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how choosing their own exercise-therapy (ET) impacts treatment adherence and outcomes for students with nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).
- Thirty-four students were split into a self-selected exercise group (SSE) and a pre-determined exercise group (PDE) for a four-week program, during which they logged their training and underwent assessments for disability and pain levels.
- Results showed improvements in disability and pain for both groups, with the SSE group demonstrating a trend toward better adherence and greater improvements in pain outcomes compared to the PDE group, suggesting that autonomy in exercise choice may enhance treatment success.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To explore the effect of autonomy to choose exercise-therapy (ET) for nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) on treatment adherence and clinical outcomes.
Participants: Forty-six students were recruited from Ariel University.
Methods: Every two gender-and-age-matched students were allocated to either self-selected exercise group (SSE) or pre-determined exercise group (PDE). Subjects completed 4-weeks exercise and filled a training-log. Oswestry disability-index (ODI) and numerical pain-rating scores (NPRS) were measured, as well as exercise quality-performance.
Results: ODI and NPRS improved in both groups, with no between-group differences. Exercise quality-performance was also similar between groups. A trend for better exercise-adherence was found in the SSE-group (75.3% vs 65.0% adherence, = 0.08, effect size = 0.59). Meaningful NPRS improvement was demonstrated in 54.5% of SSE-group participants compared with 33.3% in the PDE-group.
Conclusions: Autonomy may serve as a factor to enhance treatment adherence and clinical outcomes of ET for NSCLBP among students.

Summary: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a genetic disorder due to pathological variants in ALPL, the gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (ALP). HPP is typically associated with bone-related symptoms, such as bone deformity, fractures and bone pain in children, but can appear in adults with symptoms resembling arthritis. A 22-year-old male experienced repeated and severe sudden attacks of joint pain in the elbows and knees.

Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent chronic, non-specific inflammatory disease, and macrophages play a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) is strongly associated with the pathogenesis of several inflammatory diseases. However, the role of Syk in the pathogenesis of UC is still obscure.

Lower back pain (LBP) is a common condition affecting primarily populations in developed countries, placing a significant burden on public health systems around the world. A high rate of pain recurrence increases the risk of developing a chronic syndrome and the occurrence of complex psychosocial and professional problems. Symptoms lasting longer than 12 weeks are associated with the risk of sleep problems, depression, and anxiety.
