Evaluation of the relationship between functional low back pain level and urinary incontinence severity

The study was designed to investigate the relationship between functional low back pain levels and urinary incontinence severity. Participants aged 18 and older with both functional low back pain and urinary incontinence were given a survey with scales determining the level of functional low back pain and the severity of urinary incontinence on social media platforms. The total number of study participants was 174, of whom 52.3% were male and 47.7% were female. The mean score for urinary incontinence was 6.03, and the mean score for functional low back pain was 32.58. The functional low back pain score and other variables had no statistically significant effect on the urinary incontinence severity score (p>0.05). The functional low back pain score and urinary incontinence score had no statistically significant relationship (p=0.480). Functional low back pain and urinary incontinence are both disorders that can seriously affect the quality of life. In the present study, no correlation was found between the severity of low back pain and urinary incontinence, but more comprehensive and extensive studies are required.
