Frailty and Associated Factors in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is generally seen with advanced age, but it manifests itself with an increase in both physical and psychological health problems. Frailty is an important parameter that has become increasingly important in recent years and affects both the physical and psychological health of individuals. It has been examined in various disease groups in the literature and is reported to increase in patients with low back pain. However, the level of frailty and related factors in LSS are unknown. Since physical and psychological health are important in maintaining daily life, it is important to examine frailty in these individuals who present with chronic pain symptoms.
