Vitamin D3 improves back pain
Vitamin D Supplementation in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: An Open Label, Single Arm Clinical Trial.
Direct effect on back pain
We sought to understand the role of vitamin D3 supplementation in alleviating chronic low back pain (CLBP). In a single-arm, open-label study at a tertiary care hospital, we worked with 68 patients suffering from CLBP for at least three months, each demonstrating a significant pain level on a visual scale alongside low vitamin D levels.
Participants received 60,000 IU of vitamin D3 weekly for eight weeks. We tracked pain intensity and functional disability at various stages: at the outset, and then at two, three, and six months post-supplementation. Notably, we witnessed a remarkable increase in vitamin D levels from an average of 12.8 ng/mL to 36.07 ng/mL in those eight weeks, with 66% of participants achieving normal vitamin D levels.
The benefits didn’t stop there. Patients reported a significant drop in their pain scores at all follow-up periods, improving from 81 to 36 on the scale. Functional ability also saw enhancement over time, proving the positive influence of vitamin D3 on both pain and everyday activities.
Overall, our findings suggest that vitamin D3 supplementation can be an effective avenue for improving pain intensity and functionality in individuals with low back pain, warranting further investigation through controlled clinical trials.

Magnesium reduces postoperative back pain
Effect of perioperative intravenous magnesium sulfate on postoperative pain after iliac venous stenting.
Direct relevance to magnesium use
We explored the effectiveness of magnesium sulfate (MS) in relieving low back pain (LBP) for patients who underwent iliac venous stenting. This study involved 97 patients, divided into two groups: one received MS infusion during their surgery, while the other did not.
Patients who received MS experienced significantly lower pain levels at all follow-up intervals. We found that, at 24 hours after surgery, those in the magnesium group consumed much less tramadol—a common pain medication—compared to the control group. Additionally, the need for extra pain relief was lower among those who received magnesium.
Importantly, the side effects like nausea and vomiting were similar in both groups, indicating that magnesium can be a safe option for pain management after this type of surgery. Overall, the findings suggest that magnesium sulfate not only alleviates pain but also reduces reliance on opioids, making it a valuable treatment for postoperative care.

Vitamin D3 and low back pain
Lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 concentration is associated with higher pain and disability in subjects with low back pain: a case-control study.
Highlights vitamin D3's importance
We conducted a study to explore the connection between vitamin D3 levels and the impact of low back pain (LBP) on function and pain levels among a group of middle-aged Azeri individuals in North West Iran. Our case-control approach included 63 patients suffering from LBP and 55 healthy participants.
By analyzing blood samples, we found that the average serum concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 was notably lower in the LBP group compared to the healthy controls. This suggests that those with lower vitamin D levels are more likely to experience LBP.
Moreover, our analysis revealed a significant relationship between vitamin D3 levels and both pain intensity and disability. Specifically, we noted that lower vitamin D levels correlated with higher pain intensity as measured by a Visual Analogue Scale and greater functional disability assessed with the Modified Oswestry Questionnaire.
Overall, our findings highlight the potential role of vitamin D3 in managing back pain and suggest that addressing vitamin D deficiency could help improve outcomes for individuals suffering from LBP.

Pregnancy osteoporosis therapy outcomes
Successful neridronate therapy in pregnancy-associated osteoporosis.
Combined treatment limits isolation
We observed a rare condition known as pregnancy-associated osteoporosis, which affected a 38-year-old woman after she gave birth. Just a month postpartum, she experienced sudden back pain due to four vertebral fractures, and her bone density was notably low, especially in the spine.
While the patient's biochemical tests were largely normal, we noted some concerning markers, including elevated urinary deoxypyridinoline and slightly reduced levels of serum vitamin D3. To address her symptoms and improve her bone health, a combination therapy consisting of neridronate, calcium, and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) was initiated.
Encouragingly, after one month on this treatment, she reported being pain-free. Moreover, a follow-up bone density scan after six months indicated a significant improvement in her bone density in both the spine and hip areas. This suggests that while neridronate played a crucial role, it's also important to recognize the potential benefits of vitamin D3 within this treatment regimen. However, since the effects were part of a combination therapy, we cannot isolate the specific impact of vitamin D3 on back pain alone.

PLO treatment and vitamin D3
Effective treatment of severe pregnancy and lactation-related osteoporosis with teriparatide: case report and review of the literature.
Vitamin D3's role is unclear
We explored the impact of various treatments, including vitamin D3, on severe back pain caused by pregnancy-related osteoporosis (PLO). In a significant case study, a 23-year-old woman experiencing debilitating back pain was treated after her first childbirth. By monitoring her bone mineral density, we noted low T- and Z-scores in her lumbar spine.
The treatment plan included teriparatide, calcium, and vitamin D3. While we observed substantial improvements in bone density and relief from pain, it’s important to note that the isolated effect of vitamin D3 is difficult to pinpoint due to its combination with other treatments.
Overall, while vitamin D3 plays a notable role alongside teriparatide in managing back pain linked to PLO, its individual effectiveness remains somewhat unclear.

Denosumab improves back pain outcomes
Effectiveness of denosumab on back pain-related disability and quality-of-life in patients with vertebral fragility fractures.
Difficulty isolating vitamin D3 impact
We explored the effectiveness of denosumab on alleviating back pain and enhancing quality of life in post-menopausal women suffering from vertebral fractures. This study, involving 140 women aged around 70, assessed participants who received denosumab alongside calcium and vitamin D3 for a year.
While treatment with denosumab led to significant improvements in back pain disability, overall physical and mental health quality metrics, including the Spine Pain Index and the EuroQol-5D scale, were markedly more effective post-treatment.
The ongoing role of vitamin D3 remains obscured, as it was part of a combined regimen that made it challenging to isolate its individual effects on back pain. Thus, while we observed clear benefits from the denosumab treatment, the unique contribution of vitamin D3 to back pain relief requires further investigation.
