- Back pain, also known as backache, is pain felt in the back. The back is divided into neck pain (cervical), middle back pain (thoracic), lower back pain (lumbar) or coccydynia (tailbone or sacral pain) based on the segment affected. This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students of different medical colleges. Name, age, gender, presence or absence of backache and treatment modalities they are adopting were noted on a predefined proforma. All the data was entered and analyzed with SPSS Ver. 23.0. There were 80 medical students in this study. There were 40 males (50%) and 40 females (50%). The mean age of the students was 20.98±0.13 years. Out of 80 medical students, eleven were having problems of backache. They were using medicines occasionally. Only one student had permanent deformity.
