Diagnosing Back Pain Using MRI Scans Patients At Prince Sultan Military Hospital In Riyadh

Abstract

Background

Low back pain is among the most frequent cases of back pain in healthcare visits. Occasionally descending pain due to a chest disorder, not involving the skeletal system.

Low back pain becomes more common as people age, affecting more than half of those over 60. It is a costly condition in terms of health care

.payments, disability payments and lost work time

Study methodology: The researcher used a descriptive cross- sectional study, which was conducted at Prince Sultan Military Hospital in Riyadh

Study objectives: The current study aims to identify the diagnosis of back pain using MRI among a sample of patients at

.Prince Sultan Military Hospital

Procedures: The researcher used the medical reports of the cases and was collected from the patients. The study sample consisted of 50 patients, 23 of whom were men and 27 were women.

Results: The results showed that the incidence of back pain in women is higher than in men. This is due to the fact that women suffer from back fatigue during pregnancy, which may make them more vulnerable to infection than men. The use of magnetic resonance imaging in detecting and diagnosing back pain in patients is effective and shows and diagnoses the disease easily

The study concluded that more than half of the study participants suffered from back pain at the time the study was implemented, and the same percentage suffered from back pain three months before the study was implemented, and the same

percentage suffered from back pain 6 months before the study was implemented, and that there is no clear relationship between both. Gender, educational level, and place of work on the one hand, and the prevalence of back pain on the other hand, but there is a direct relationship between the number of years of experience and the occurrence of back pain, meaning that (the

)more years of work, the greater the incidence of back pain

I consider working in an uncomfortable position, increasing the number of patients, standing for long periods, and bending the back movements among the most important factors and causes of the appearance of back pain, which requires necessary modifications in the workplace, including beds of appropriate height, special chairs for therapists, special slings for patients, wearing suitable shoes during work, exercising on a daily basis, and avoiding Carrying patients with heavy weights has a significant impact on reducing the occurrence of back pain
