Abstract Background“Sleep quality disorder” and “low back pain” are some of the most common complaints of pregnant women during pregnancy and disturb their daily activities. Currently, there are not enough interventions for these symptoms. Recently, the sport of yoga, one of the stretching sports and therapeutic methods, has attracted the attention of rehabilitation specialists. This study aimed to determine the effect of Hatha yoga on low back pain and sleep quality in nulliparous pregnant women.MethodsThis controlled clinical trial study was performed on 60 eligible nulliparous pregnant women at the gestation age of 24 to 28 weeks with normal pregnancy in the gynecology clinic of Kowsar Hospital in Qazvin city, Iran. The samples were selected using convenience sampling and were assigned to intervention and control groups via random sampling without replacement. In addition to receiving routine pregnancy care by referring to the gynecology clinic of the hospital, the intervention group attended Hatha yoga classes twice a week (each session lasting 75 minutes) at the Hatha yoga specialized sports club from week 26 to week 37 of their pregnancy. A demographic information questionnaire, a visual pain scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to collect information. In addition, SPSS software (version 24) and descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The significance level of all the tests was considered to be p <0.05.ResultsUsing Wilcoxon tests, the comparison of low back pain in the intervention group before (with the p-value of 0.057) and after (with the p-value of 0.172) the study showed that there was no significant difference between the pain scores in the intervention group. Moreover, using Wilcoxon tests, the comparison of the sleep quality score in the intervention group before (with the p-value of 0.007) and after (with the p-value of 0.001) the study indicated that there was a significant difference in the sleep quality scores in the intervention group. ConclusionBased on the results of the study, it can be said that Hatha yoga did not have a significant effect on the low back pain scores in the intervention group, however, it had a significant effect on their sleep quality. According to the findings of this study, the correct and regular use of Hatha yoga under the supervision of a specialist instructor can be valuable for pregnant women in their second trimester due to its being non-invasiveness and applicable.Trial registrationThe clinical trial registration code for this study was obtained from the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials on 19.02.2019 (IRCT code: IRCT20190919044819N1).

Objective: One of the common problems that leads to poor sleep quality in the elderly is low back pain. This study aims to evaluate the effect of auriculotherapy (ear acupressure) on the sleep quality of elderly people with chronic low back pain. Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted in 2019 on 70 older adults with chronic low back pain in Kashan, Iran, who were selected using a convenience sampling technique. After obtaining a written informed consent, they were assigned into intervention and sham groups using the block randomization method. In the intervention group, the pressure was applied to ShenMen, sympathetic, subcortex and low back points of the ear, while in the sham group, the pressure was applied to the points that were not associated with the low back pain. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) were completed at the beginning of the study, at the end of intervention, and one month after the end of intervention. Six patients from the Sham group and 2 patients from the intervention group were excluded from the study. The data of 62 elderly (in sham group 29 and in intervention group 33) according to Per-Protocol (PP) and data of all samples as Intention to Treat (ITT) were analyzed using covariance analysis and repeated measures ANOVA. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the intervention and sham groups in terms of the duration of disease at baseline (P=0.012). The interaction effect of time and group on the sleep quality was significant (P<0.0001). Sleep quality in the intervention group was significantly better than in the sham group at the end of the intervention and also during the one-month follow-up period (P<0.0001). Within-group comparison results reported a significant difference in the sleep quality between three evaluation times in the intervention group (P<0.0001). Conclusion: Auriculotherapy can improve sleep quality in the elderly with chronic low back pain. It is recommended to use auriculotherapy as a complementary therapy for treating these elderly groups.

During pregnancy there are physiological and psychological changes that can cause discomfort such as leg cramps, difficulty breathing, back pain, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. The prevalence of low back pain is around 60-80% which can lead to strain on the ligaments and fatigue in the abdominal muscles, as well as balance disorders. This will lead to disruption of activities during pregnancy, such as difficulty walking and sleep disturbances. To assess low back pain and sleep quality among pregnant women: cross sectional study. Cross-sectional data were collected by 37 pregnant women with inclusion criteria were third trimester pregnant women, willing to be a respondent, with normal blood pressure, and have not received any medication related sleep disorder. They completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Rolland-Morris Disability Questionaire (RDQ), statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson Correlation Product Moment. Research was conducted in Semarang and Kudus. Sleep quality among pregnant women demonstrated significanly poor overall sleep quality with PSQI score (mean 8.70 ± 3.511) and RDQ score (mean 8.97 ± 6.414). There was moderate correlation between low back pain with sleep quality (r correlation = 0.558). Low back pain have correlation to increase or decrease sleep quality among preganant women.

Background: Muscle energy technique (MET) and strain–counterstrain (SCS) technique are found to be effective as a sole treatment of acute low back pain (LBP), but the combined effect of these two techniques has not been evaluated. Objective: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the added effect of SCS to MET in acute LBP patients. Methods: In this trial, 50 patients were randomly allocated to MET or MET-SCS group to receive the assigned two treatment sessions for two consecutive days. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Roland Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), visual analogue scale (VAS), lumbar range of motion (ROM) were recorded at baseline, after first and second session. Results: All the outcome measures showed statistically significant ([Formula: see text]) improvement in both the groups after second session. Between the groups, analysis showed no statistically significant difference ([Formula: see text]) after the first or second session. Conclusions: The improvement after second treatment sessions was noted in pain, ROM, and disability in both the groups, but immediate effect was seen only on pain intensity after first treatment session. When compared between the groups, no added effect of SCS to MET was found in reducing pain and disability and increasing lumbar ROM in acute LBP patients.
