Abstract:
Background:Spine diseases, back pain, curvature, and intervertebral disorders are increasing among the population
of Mongolia. According to a study of diseases covering 195 countries of the world in 1990-2016, spine
disease ranked third among non-communicable diseases. However, at present, very little research
has been done on the prevalence of spinal diseases among the population of Mongolia.
Research goal:Detecting the location of spinal pain in patients with back pain, curvature and other pains who visited
“Altanmed” hospital.
Research methods:The study was conducted in a hospital setting using a snapshot survey method. From January 1,
2021, to January 1, 2022, a total of 2,210 patients were examined and treated at “Altanmed” hospital,
of which 560 therapists were randomly selected from patients over 18 years old and participated in the
study. Subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire and rate their pain on a 0-10 scale.
Conclusion:
1. 69.8% (n=391) of 560 patients who came to “Altanmed” hospital with back pain were lumbar and
lower back pain.
2. 74.4% (n=291) or the majority has lumbar and lower back pain among patients aged 31-50. Of the
391 clients with lower back pain, 11.5% or 45 had mild (pain score 1-3), 52.9% (n=207) moderate
(pain score 4-6), and 35.5% (n=139) severe pain (pain score 7-10), and the groups differ with
statistical probability (p<0.01).
3. Regarding the duration of pain, 8.4% (n=33) had acute pain up to the last 3 months, and the
remaining 91.6% had chronic back pain. The average pain scale was 5.76 (SD±1.8).
