Abstract
Aim. We defined the prevalence of back pain in children and adolescents aged 9–17 years with spinal deformities.
Material and methods. The cross-sectional study included 230 students with different spinal deformities aged 9–17 years. The prevalence of back pain, intensity, location, and situations in which it occurred were assessed via questionnaire.
Results. Among 230 respondents, 186 (80.9%) admitted that they had experienced back pain (mainly in the lumbar spine) at various frequencies within the year preceding the study. Mild pain was prevalent (71% of respondents). Girls experienced back pain significantly more frequently than boys.
Conclusions. Back pain in children and adolescents requires clinical and instrumental examination, including X-ray. Back pain is a frequent phenomenon in children with different spinal deformities. Тhe incidence of pain in children and adolescents with spinal deformities in our study is statistically higher than that of “healthy” individuals of the same age group.
