hi friend
have you tried your search in pubmed,medline,google scholar,pedro.

Hello,

If you plan on searching for a more obscure topic such as that then it might help to open up your search resources.

You may want to discover 'gray' or 'grey' literature search engines.
Just type that as a key term into a general search engine and examine all the types of grey literature sources available. Also pubmed is obviously useful. You will probably have to find some student level unpublished piece of work such as a M level review.

Also consider your search terms:

Photgraphy + Epidemiology + Aetiology + other search terms

Obviously one misnomer may be Photography may give you many results in some form of imaging method, rather than photographers themselves!

Good luck

Thanks a ton linbin and Canuck physio for ur help :)
I changed my topic frm low back to back pain in photographers..considering there r quite a few photographers suffering frm upper back and neck pain as well..
Hope it turns out to be good..gathering info for a questionnaire..
