Brief Summary

Low back pain (Lower Back Pain ) is extremely common , affecting more than 80 % of the general population in the modern world , one is considered the most common cause of disability in people under the age of 45. Lower back pain represents a social problem and substantial economies in Western countries , also considered a first cause for orthopedic consultation. In recent decades , a number of methods developed for assessing the functional status of patients with low back pain , and over twenty -five generic methods available today for use in pain clinics , orthopedic clinics and in clinical trials A large part of the measures used to monitor the response of patients to treatment of low back pain based on self-report questionnaires ,on patients' pain intensity , quality of life measures , and functional status In recent years a number of wearable monitoring devices designed to help people assess the progress of sports activity , by measuring steps , pulse , and quality of sleep , in this study we will use these measures to assess treatment efficacy after steroid injection to the epidural space in patients with low back pain . And compare the results to those taken from subjective self-report questionnaires .

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• number of steps .

  the investigators will be using the xiaomi mi band to measure the number of steps the participants make daily. from the day of making the decision for treatment (steroid injection for epidural space) until four weeks after treatment. this measures will be compared to the score taken from Oswestry disability index (ODI) Before treatment and on day 3,7,14 and 28 after treatment. Evaluating the treatment response by the treating pain physician using a scale from zero to ten, where (zero no response an 10 great response).

  from the day of making the decision for treatment until four weeks after treatment.
