Manual workers performing lifting tasks, both with and without a history of lifting-related low back pain (LBP), were recruited (21 with LBP and 20 without LBP). They participated in a repetitive lifting task. The study compared non-biomechanical factors between workers with and without a history of lifting-related LBP. A secondary objective was to examine the relationships between changes in pain intensity during repetitive lifting and non-biomechanical factors tested in the LBP group. A wide range of non-biomechanical factors was recorded, including psychological, work-related, lifestyle, health, and psychophysical factors.      <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In fact, the LBP group reported poorer sleep quality, more musculoskeletal pain sites beyond just lumbar pain, and more symptoms related to gastrointestinal complaints and pseudoneurology compared to the group without a history of LBP. Although the study population was small and causality cannot be directly inferred, the evidence aligns with osteopathic networked clinical reasoning: namely, that chronic pain exhibits multiple interactions, such as immunological, neuroendocrine, and lifestyle influences.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #000000\">Saraceni N, Campbell A, Kent P, Ng L, Straker L, O&#8217;Sullivan P.
