Abstract

Objective : It Is known that depression disorder has been related to chronic pains such as HIVD and physical harm. We propose that chronic cervical and lumbar herniations of intervertebral disc patients have emotional and psychiatric problems, therefore we compared it to Beck's Depression Inventory scores. Method : We divided them into two groups: The groups consisted of cervical and lumbar HIVD patients. We then requested them to fill out BDI research questionnaires, and evaluated patients according to the information and results. Result : The Beck's Depression Inventory mean score for the cervical - lumbar HIVD group was $14.00{\pm}5.80$, $10.83{\pm}$5.64 each. Higher Scores were recorded for cervical HIVD group than the lumbar HIVD group. Conclusion : There is statistical significance among two groups.(p<.05) however, the two groups' BDI score were lower than the defined boundary line of Depression disorder(16 points).
