Spinal pains like low back pain and neck pain are extremely common problems throughout the world (1, 2). The causes of some types of pains are well explained but in many other cases, there is no apparent cause for the pain (3). Mechanical factors, such as lifting and carrying, probably do not have a major pathogenic role. Furthermore, the mechanism of action of many treatments is unclear (4). In this article, we present one possible new syndrome, which may explain some types of pain in the axial line of the body. In historical medical manuscripts, Rhazes or Razi (865-925 AD), the famous Iranian physician, de-scribed gas in the spine as a possible cause of low back pain. He prescribed sitting in a hot hole as a method of treatment (5, 6). Another traditional Persian physician, Avicenna (980-1037 AD) pos-tulated that pain may be caused by stretching and compression of tissues due to entrapped gas. Un-der this hypothesis, the site of pain could vary in association with movement of gas bubbles (6).
