Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain affects 70–85% of the adult population at some point in life. In total 45–75% of patients continue to experience pain after 12 months of onset. Low back pain is a major health hazard in today’s technological era. The history of low back pain is as ancient as human civilization. There are pieces of evidence of low back pain and sciatica in the past era, which was a problematic concern for the population of that time. There was a practical approach of different cultures toward the low back and sciatic pain at that time. The rich history of Indian medicine guides us to the classic developments and thoughts of that era. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to illuminate descriptions and understandings of low back pain from previous historical reviews as well as fill gaps in previous reviews that ignored the hidden knowledge of low back pain from ancient Indian literature. Materials and Methods: Here published scientific articles in reputed journals regarding the historical background of low back pain, sciatica, and lumbar radiculopathy have been reviewed from PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and so on, and low back pain conditions from ayurveda classics have been extracted and conceptual understanding to low back pain by ancient Indian ayurvedic scholars have been revealed. The lacunae in previous reviews of missing the knowledge of ancient Indian ayurvedic texts have been tried to fill by this work. Observations and Results: The review showed that the understanding of various conditions associated with low back pain such as katishoola, katigraha, gridhrasi, trikshoola, trikvedna, and so on. and its pathophysiology was well developed in ancient Indian culture. Conclusion: Numerous earlier studies on low back and sciatic pain have overlooked the historical significance of the Indian subcontinent. The existing information must therefore be revealed along with these crucial descriptions. The world’s focus will be directed toward ayurvedic medicines and low back pain management solutions when the concepts of ayurveda are revealed historically. As a result, this article will aid in promoting the traditional Ayurvedic medical method.

腰痛:引人入胜的历史与未开发的古印度知识
引言:70-85%的成年人在生命的某个阶段都患有腰痛。总的来说,45-75%的患者在发病12个月后仍然感到疼痛。在当今的科技时代,腰痛是一个主要的健康危害。腰痛的历史与人类文明一样古老。有证据表明,在过去的时代有腰痛和坐骨神经痛,这对当时的人们来说是一个问题。当时对于腰背部和坐骨疼痛有不同文化背景的实用方法。印度医学的丰富历史引导我们了解那个时代的经典发展和思想。目的和目的:本研究旨在阐明以往文献对腰痛的描述和理解,填补以往文献忽视古印度文献中关于腰痛的隐性知识的空白。材料与方法:通过PubMed、谷歌Scholar、Scopus等知名期刊上发表的关于腰痛、坐骨神经痛、腰椎神经根病历史背景的科学文章进行综述,提取阿育吠陀经典中的腰痛病症,揭示古印度阿育吠陀学者对腰痛的概念性认识。在以前的评论中缺少对古印度阿育吠陀文本的知识的空白已经试图通过这项工作来填补。观察与结果:综述显示对与腰痛相关的各种疾病如katishoola、katigraha、gridhrasi、trikshoola、trikvedna等的了解。其病理生理在古印度文化中得到了很好的发展。结论:许多关于腰背部和坐骨疼痛的早期研究忽视了印度次大陆的历史意义。因此,现有的信息必须与这些关键的描述一起披露。当阿育吠陀的概念被历史地揭示出来时,世界的焦点将指向阿育吠陀药物和腰痛管理解决方案。因此,本文将有助于推广传统的阿育吠陀医学方法。
