The backmice.info project

(First, please check our video posted in October 2023 on "Cluneal nerve entrapment" and the "back mice phenomenon")

I am Marta Cañis Parera. I am a medical doctor from nearby Barcelona. On February 2018, I started my Ph.D. studies about “fatty tissue and low back pain” in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili from Reus, Spain.

As part of my Ph.D. studies I am doing a bibliographic review about fatty tissue as a cause of low back pain. Within my thesis project I am under the construction of this web page called backmice.info, where I plan to share this bibliographic review (in 4 main chapters) and write a blog with my personal views  at the same time.

The aim of the backmice.info project is to share the information about this entity that still seems to be under-recognized by many doctors nowadays, and to make it a useful tool for me to share information with other researchers or people who may have a special interest in it.

*We have published a review about back mice: you may access a free on line pdf in the following link → Historical Review of Studies on Sacroiliac Fatty Nodules (Recently Termed “Back Mice”) as a Potential Cause of Low Back Pain. Cañis Parera et al. Pain ther (2021).

-LINK to a Youtube video based on a presentation I did in December 2022 in Poland. It summarizes well what we know so far about the ‘back mice’ phenomenon.
