Consipation is the most common digestive complaint in the general population

Investigation of Low Back Pain Level on Symptoms in Chronic Consipation

Low Back Pain

Constipation

Chronic constipation and low back pain are two common and often co-existing health conditions
      that affect millions of people worldwide. On the surface, these conditions appear to be
      unrelated and are associated with different anatomical sites (gastrointestinal tract and
      musculoskeletal system). However, a growing body of research is beginning to shed light on
      the complex interplay between chronic constipation and low back pain, highlighting potential
      links between these seemingly disparate health conditions. Common etiologic factors such as
      neuromuscular function, chronic inflammation and lifestyle-related variables are known to
      exist

Investigation of the Effect of Low Back Pain Level on Symptoms in Individuals With Chronic Consipation

Lewis and Heaton classified the type of stool in 7 different groups in the scale. In the Bristol Stool Scale, the transit time of stool through the intestine is evaluated over seven different stool types. According to BGS, 1-2 points are shown as "hard stool", 3-4-5 points as "normal stool" and 6-7 points as "soft-watery stool (diarrhea)".

The questionnaire for clinical assessment of the impact of pelvic pain on women consists of 10 questions. However, the first 8 questions are scored. The range of scores to be obtained from the questionnaire varies between 1- 32. As the score value to be obtained from the questionnaire increases, the degree of functional limitation of pelvic pain on the person increases.

Constipation Severity Scale (CSS) is a scale for determining the frequency, intensity and difficulty/difficulty during defecation. The scale includes 16 questions.
The score that can be obtained from the DT sub-dimension is between 0-28, the score that can be obtained from the CBT sub-dimension is between 0-29, and the score that can be obtained from the Pain sub-dimension is between 0-16. The minimum total score that can be obtained from the KCS is 0 and the maximum score is 73. A high score on the scale indicates that the symptoms are serious. The highest score that can be obtained from the five-point Likert-type scale is 140 and the lowest score is 28. It is thought that quality of life is negatively affected as the scores obtained from the scale increase

The Oswestry Disability Index is a commonly used outcome measure to detect perceived disability in patients with low back pain (12). This index consists of 10 items, 8 related to activities of daily living and 2 related to pain. Each item is scored from 0-5 and the total score is expressed as a percentage, with higher scores corresponding to more disability). Increasing scores on the Oswestry Disability Index indicate a higher level of disability.

The Polar H10 device is a heart rate sensor with the gold standard in high precision and accuracy that comes with a wearable chest strap. It can connect to multiple training devices via Bluetooth and ANT+. The device comes with a soft, adjustable sensor that contacts the chest to capture heart rate in real time.
The study will evaluate the autonomic nervous system with the Polar H10 device. The data will be recorded by connecting the device to a smart phone via bluetooth and the software supported by the device will be used to analyze the data. The participant will be in a sitting position and a measurement will be made for 1 minute. In order for the device to make an accurate measurement, the electrode surface must be wetted before each measurement. The subject should not talk or move during the measurement.
