Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a decrease or interruption of outpatient and elective interventional procedures of patients with chronic pain worldwide. This study aims to investigate the attitude changes of pain physicians in Turkey in the treatment of chronic pain patients and the compliance of these changes with the published guidelines.
Methods: A total of 113 pain physicians were sent an online questionnaire forms to be completed voluntarily.
Results: The questionnaire was completed by 61% (n=69) of the total physicians to whom it was sent to. The rate of physicians who did not request the COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test from their patients before any interventional procedure was 48% (n=33). The rate of physicians who ignored the immunosuppressive effect and while prescribing opioids and did not reduce the opioid dose was 42% (n=29). The rate of physicians who did not reduce the corticosteroid dose they used in their interventional procedures was 61% (n=42). It was determined that 49.1% (n=28) of physicians who applied facet joint medial branch radiofrequency denervation (RFD) during the pandemic period decreased the number of diagnostic blocks they ap-plied compared to the pre-pandemic period. It was found that 51% (n=24) of the physicians who applied genicular nerve RFD during this period did not perform any diagnostic blocks.
Conclusion: It was found that the majority of physicians did not change their preferences in the dose and/or type of opioid and corticosteroid drugs, but they tended to reduce the number of diagnostic blocks they applied before facet joint medial branch/genicular RFD procedures.

Objectives: In the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, physical inactivity and health anxiety which are common risk factors for musculoskeletal pain have become widespread due to strict precautions and isolation. Thus, we aimed to com-pare physical activity, health anxiety, and spinal pain history in people experiencing and not experiencing spinal pain during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Methods: This study was designed as a case–control study. Assessments including the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Short Health Anxiety Inventory were performed through an online questionnaire using Google forms during the COVID-19 lockdown. We reached 494 volunteers, and 348 were eliminated by the exclusion criteria. One hundred and fifty-six participants were classified as the spinal pain group (n=70) and the asymptomatic group (n=86) based on the NMQ.
Results: The total amount of physical activity was less in the spinal pain group than the asymptomatic group (p<0.05). The spi-nal pain group had higher levels of health anxiety than the asymptomatic group (p<0.05). Further, the percentage of people who experienced spinal pain in the past year was higher in the spinal pain group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: People experiencing spinal pain during the COVID-19 lockdown were physically less active and more concerned about their health. These results may be useful to improve the management of spinal pain during the lockdown or possible pandemic wave scenarios.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of scapular dyskinesia in patients with neck, back, and shoul-der pain and examine the variations in clinical parameters cause by this combination.
Methods: A total of 121 patients with neck, back, or shoulder pain were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. De-mographic and clinical data of the patients were recorded. It was evaluated the intensity of pain with the visual analog scale (VAS), the presence of muscle shortness with muscle shortness tests, and scapular dyskinesia with the Lateral Scapular Slide Test.
Results: The prevalence of scapular dyskinesia was 41.9% in the study population. Patients were divided into groups, with or without scapular dyskinesia for evaluation, and compared. The presence of scapular dyskinesia was significantly higher in pa-tients with back and shoulder pain (p<0.05). When the distribution of scapular dyskinesia pathological types was evaluated, it was found that Type 1 was the most common in the study population. No significant difference was observed in pain intensity at rest and during activity between the groups (p>0.05), but the VAS score at night was significantly higher in patients with scapular dyskinesia (p<0.05). The pectoral, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids muscle shortness were significantly higher in the group with scapular dyskinesia (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The evaluation of the presence of scapular dyskinesia in a physical examination in patients with neck, back, and/or shoulder pain will be a guide for the diagnosis and treatment of pain-related problems.

Osteoid osteoma, tipik olarak 25 yaþýndan genç erkeklerde görülen küçük ve benign karakterli osteoblastik bir tümördür. Ver-tebrada nadiren görülmesine karþýn gece aðrýsýnýn eþlik ettiði bel aðrýsý olan gençlerde spondiloartropatilerin ayýrýcý tanýsýnda düþünülmelidir. Semptomlarýn azaltýlmasý ve skolyoz gibi yapýsal deformitelerin geliþiminin engellenmesi açýsýndan erken taný önemlidir. Burada, ankilozan spondilit ön tanýsýyla takip edilen ancak ileri tanýsal görüntüleme yöntemleriyle osteoid osteoma tanýsý konulan 28 yaþýnda bir olgu sunulmaktadýr.

Osteoid osteoma is a small and benign osteoblastic tumor seen typically in males aged below 25 years. Although it is rarely seen in the vertebrae, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of spondyloarthropathies, especially for those which occur in young people, along with back and lumbar pain, which increases during the night. Early diagnosis is essential to alle-viate symptoms and prevent the risk of structural spinal deformities, such as scoliosis. Here, we describe the case of a 28-year-old man with vertebral osteoid osteoma that was misdiagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis and provide a detailed account of the radiological investigations.
