Low back pain is among the commonest complaints in orthopaedic outpatient clinics, so spine theses at Indian teaching hospitals rarely lack patients. The sample titles measure disability with the Oswestry Disability Index, correlate MRI findings with symptoms, study lumbar canal stenosis in the elderly, link vitamin D or bone density to pain and fractures, and assess discectomy, caudal epidural steroid and core stabilisation exercises.
MRI abnormalities are common in people without symptoms, so correlation studies need a clear clinical definition and a blinded radiologist. Exercise and injection trials require follow-up over weeks to months, with physiotherapy delivered the same way to everyone. Surgical topics depend on operative volume, and red flag screening studies need a referral pathway for patients found to have serious pathology.

4Tips for a Spine thesis
- Use validated outcome tools such as the Oswestry Disability Index and a visual analogue scale, ideally in Hindi or regional language versions, at baseline and each follow-up.
- Grade disc degeneration and canal stenosis with recognised MRI systems such as Pfirrmann grading, and have the radiologist report without seeing the clinical scores.
- For injection studies, state whether the epidural is fluoroscopy-guided or blind, keep the steroid type and dose constant, and record complications alongside pain relief.
