Abstract

Background: Many studies have shown that non-ergonomic positioning of the spine is one of the main causes of postural deformity. In this regard, opium smoking requires sitting in non-ergonomic positions, which increases the possibility of posture disorders due to exposure for several hours a day and over many years. Objectives: This study aimed to compare neck pain and disability, forward head posture (FHP), and the curvature of the thoracic spine (thoracic hyperkyphosis [THK]) in opium users and non-drug users. Methods: In this comparative cross-sectional study, 80 opium smokers were compared with 74 non-drug users in terms of craniovertebral angle (FHP), THK, and neck pain (Visual Analog Scale [VAS]) and disability (neck disability index [NDI]). Data were analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and independent t-tests using SPSS version 23. Results: The difference between the 2 groups was significant in all variables, including VAS (P = 0.004), NDI (P < 0.001), craniovertebral angle (P = 0.003), and THK (P = 0.006). Conclusions: Forward head posture, THK, neck pain, and neck disability are more prevalent in opium smokers than non-drug users. This could be due to the long hours of the non-ergonomic position while smoking opium.

鸦片吸烟与颈部和脊柱上部姿势障碍的关系

背景:许多研究表明，脊柱不符合人体工程学的定位是导致体位畸形的主要原因之一。在这方面，吸食鸦片需要以不符合人体工程学的姿势坐着，这增加了由于每天暴露几个小时和多年而导致姿势失调的可能性。目的:本研究旨在比较鸦片使用者和非吸毒者的颈部疼痛和残疾、前倾头位(FHP)和胸椎曲度(胸椎后凸过度[THK])。方法:在本比较横断面研究中，80名鸦片吸食者与74名非吸毒者在颅椎角(FHP)、THK、颈部疼痛(视觉模拟量表[VAS])和残疾(颈部残疾指数[NDI])方面进行比较。数据分析采用Kolmogorov-Smirnov和独立t检验，使用SPSS version 23。结果:两组患者VAS (P = 0.004)、NDI (P <0.001)、颅颈角(P = 0.003)、THK (P = 0.006)。结论:与非吸毒者相比，鸦片吸食者的前倾头位、THK、颈部疼痛和颈部残疾更为普遍。这可能是由于吸食鸦片时长时间保持不符合人体工程学的姿势所致。
