Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative disease that occurs due to compression of neurological structures as a result of narrowing of the spinal canal, and is particularly common in elderly individuals. LSS is characterized by pain, neurogenic claudication, decreased walking capacity, and functional disability. This condition can limit patients' daily living activities, leading to decreased physical activity levels, balance disorders, and increased fear of falling. At the same time, disability and decreased quality of life due to the disease can negatively affect individuals' physical and psychosocial health status, leading to increased frailty levels. Frailty is an important geriatric concept that requires multidisciplinary approaches and is associated with increased dependency and risk of falling in elderly individuals. Demonstrating the relationship between frailty and parameters such as pain, disability, quality of life, physical activity, balance, and fear of falling in individuals with LSS can contribute to the development of more effective rehabilitation strategies for the management of the disease.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patients with frail LSS

Patients with LSS who are frail according to Fried criteria will be assigned to this group. According to the Frid criteria, patients who score 3 or more on the following symptoms have a frailty level: weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, decreased mobility, and physical inactivity.

No interventions assigned to this group

Patients without frail LSS

Patients with LSS who are not frail according to Fried criteria will be assigned to this group.

No interventions assigned to this group
