Resumo
Background: Back pain is a prevalent condition among adolescents and young adults, leading to functional disability and reduced quality of life. Understanding the utilization of different treatments is crucial for effective healthcare strategies. Objective: To identify the utilization of various treatments for back pain among adolescents and young adults aged 15 to 23 years in Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2019 National Health Survey (PNS), analyzing a sample of 9,082 individuals aged 15 to 23 years. The study examined the prevalence of back pain and the utilization of treatments, including exercise, physiotherapy, medication, integrative practices, and regular healthcare follow-up. Results: The prevalence of back pain was 9.3%. The use of treatments was associated with socioeconomic factors such as age, health insurance, registration in the Family Health Strategy and self-rated health. Adolescents aged 19 to 23 years and those participating in the Family Health Strategy were more likely to use exercises, physiotherapy and acupuncture. Having a health insurance plan was positively associated with the use of physiotherapy and acupuncture. Self-rated health was associated with medical follow-up. Conclusion: The utilization of back pain treatments among Brazilian adolescents and young adults is influenced by a complex interplay of socioeconomic and health related factors. Strategies to improve access to and utilization of effective treatments should address these disparities to promote equitable healthcare.
