The Potential Relationship Between Low Back Pain and Depression: A Comprehensive Review
Overview
This review examines the bidirectional relationship between low back pain and depression, highlighting shared biological mechanisms such as HPA axis dysregulation and neuroinflammation. It discusses how psychological factors like stress and anxiety contribute to this comorbidity and notes that both conditions affect similar brain regions involved in pain and emotional regulation. The resource suggests that effective management requires interdisciplinary approaches addressing both physical and psychological aspects, suitable for clinicians or researchers interested in the neurobiological links between these conditions.
