Relationship between Vitamin D and Nonspecific Low Back Pain May Be Mediated by Inflammatory Markers.

Xu HW, Zhang SB, Yi YY, Chen H, Hu T, Wang SJ, Wu DS. Pain Physician. 2021 Nov;24(7):E1015-E1023.

Results: Mean serum concentrations of vitamin D in the control, Ns-ALBP, and Ns-CLBP groups were 25.70 ± 10.04, 21.44 ± 8.46 and 18.25 ± 8.05 ng/mL, respectively (P < 0.001). After adjustment for clinical factors, vitamin D deficiency was associated with Ns-LBP (P < 0.05); however, when the interleukin 6 (IL-6) level was added to the multivariable models, the association was no longer significant in Ns-CLBP patients. Mediation analysis estimated the overall mediated effect as -0.461 (P < 0.001) in Ns-CLBP patients, and the intermediary effect of IL-6 was 0.045.

Limitations: A retrospective study may include inevitable bias. More sensitive biomarkers were not investigated in this study. Pain intensity evaluation using the visual analogue scale is inevitably subjective.

Conclusion: Patients with Ns-LBP had lower vitamin D and higher inflammatory marker levels. This association between hypovitaminosis D and Ns-CLBP may be mediated by IL-6. Therefore, large-scale clinical trials are warranted to investigate the clinical efficacy of vitamin D supplementation for decreasing inflammation and relieving Ns-LBP.
