Space Travel Souvenir: Back Pain
2021
Overview
Steven Cohen, MD, professor of anesthesiology and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins and a retired Army colonel Low Gravity-Related Pain is Common According to the review, past studies of astronauts have shown that 52% of space travelers report some form of back pain in the first 2 to 5 days of space travel. Radostin Penchev, MD, resident physician at The Johns Hopkins Hospital Preventing and Treating Astronauts’ Back Pain In their review of past studies, the researchers said that along with microgravity’s stresses, other contributors to back pain in space include the intense physical experience of riding in a rocket and a change in dietary habits that could alter nutritional levels in the body and impact tissue health and healing. Other methods to prevent back pain among astronauts mentioned by the researchers include massage, nutritional supplementation to increase vitamin D and caloric intake, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and negative pressure devices, all paired with resistance exercise. To combat the intense vibrations and speed of riding rockets into space, Cohen, Penchev and their team believe that engineering space vehicles to improve impact protection for the flight crew and align the forces of acceleration and impact with human anatomy could reduce the number of astronauts experiencing long-term back pain or injury, per the release.
