Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on low back/pelvis pain, disability, and trunk Range of Motion (ROM) in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP) after 72 h.Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients with nonspecific CLBP participated in this study. Pain intensity, Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire, and lumbar ROM were evaluated once before the intervention (KT with 50% tension) and then 72 h after. For statistical analysis, we used the paired sample t-test. Results: Pain intensity was significantly reduced (P<0.01). But KT did not improve disability and lumbar ROM (P>0.05).Conclusion: Based on the results, 72 h KT over the lumbopelvic area did not improve disability and lumbar ROM in people with nonspecific CLBP while there was a significant reduction in pain intensity. The proposed mechanism of the KT effects is inconsistent with these results.

Research background. Chronic nonspecifc low back pain is one of the most widespread health problems in modern society. Massage together with oils is commonly used for low back pain. However, no studies are available on the effect of classical massage with different oils on functional state and pain in patients with chronic low back pain. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of classical massage with different oils on patients with chronic nonspecifc low back pain. Methods. This study included 14 women. They were randomly assigned into two groups. The experimental group received classical massage using oil of natural components and the control group received massage with Vaseline oil. All participants received seven massage sessions, one session lasted 20 min. Pain intensity (VAS scale), functional disability level (Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire) and measurement of spine flexion range of motion (Modifed Shober test) were evaluated before and after intervention. Results. Both groups showed signifcant improvements in pain intensity (p < 0.05). Massage with oil of natural components was more effective then massage with Vaseline oil in reducing pain (p < 0.05). Functional disability decreased in both groups (p < 0.05), but no signifcant difference was found between groups. The range of motion changes were not signifcant after intervention in two groups. Conclusions. Classical massage with oil of natural components and classical massage with Vaseline oil were found to be effective in relieving pain and decreasing functional disability in patients with chronic low back pain. Massage with oil of natural components was more effective than massage with Vaseline oil in reducing pain.Keywords: chronic nonspecifc low back pain, classical massage, oil.

Introduction. Exercises are important in the management of non-specific chronic low-back pain (NSCLBP). Aim. The study compared the effects of bridging and V-sitting exercises on pain and disability of patients with NSCLBP. Material and methods. 34 patients with NSCLBP recruited for the study were allocated into V-sitting (VSG) and Bridging Exercise group (BEG) equally. Participants in VSG and BEG groups performed V-sitting and bridging exercises respectively for 10 seconds, three times in a week for three weeks under a supervision of one of the authors. Each participants underwent ten sessions per a treatment regimen. Pain intensity and disability were assessed at the pre-intervention, second and third weeks using verbal rating scale and Rolland Morris Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire prospectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, alpha level was set at 0.05 Results. There was a significant reduction in the third week (P < 0.001) in both VSG and BEG group of pain intensity and disability comparing the pre intervention, second and third week values. There was a significant reduction in the 3rd week VSG’s pain intensity (F=27.34 P<0.001) and disability (F=14.96, P<0.001) compared with BEG. Conclusion. V-sitting and bridging exercises were effective in management of patients with NSCLP, but V-sitting seems more effective.

Mobility Limitations

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the causes that usually result in mobility limitations in the economically active population due to musculo-skeletal disorders. It has, as main symptoms, pain and disability and should be seen as a public health problem. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the Functional Disability (FD) and pain intensity in patients with CLBP, underwent to manipulative therapy and conventional physiotherapy at Getulio Vargas Hospital. Method: This was a randomized trial study with a control group, with a sample, participants with CLBP, who were divided into two groups: those who underwent manipulative physiotherapy (group 1) and those who underwent conventional therapy (group 2), and the both groups were subjected to two treatments at different times. The program lasted five weeks, and 2 weeks for each intervention, performing two weekly sessions, which average duration was 30 minutes and one week interval between treatments. There were collected sociodemographic data, data related to FD using the Disability questionnaire Roland-Morris (RMDQ) and data related to pain intensity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The study included 14 patients with mean age of 51 + 9 years. They showed significant improvement in RMDQ (p <0.001) and VAS (p <0.001), after being subjected to manipulative group, also showing a significant treatment effect over conventional treatment in both RMDQ (p = 0.004) and EVA (p = 0.006). Conclusion: Through this study, it can be shown that patients with CLBP showed significant improvements in functional capacity, by reducing the FD and reduction of painful symptoms, after being subjected to a five-week-program of manipulative physiotherapy.

The Impact

Context: In many societies, although chronic low back pain (LBP) is a significant problem, there is no consensus on the optimal therapeutic intervention. Objective: To compare the impact of aquatic exercise (AE) and kinesio taping (KT) on the pain intensity and functional incapacity in women with chronic nonspecific LBP. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient clinic. Participants: Thirty-six women with chronic nonspecific LBP (mean [SD]: age = 50.69 [4.187] y) participated. Interventions: Participants randomly assigned to AE (n = 12), KT (n = 12), and nontreatment control (n = 12) groups for 6 weeks. Main Outcome Measures: Pain intensity and functional disability were evaluated at baseline and the end of the intervention. Results: Pain intensity decreased more in the AE group than in the KT group (5.9–0.5 cm [91.6% decrease] vs 5.7–2.4 cm [58.1% decrease], respectively; P < .001 for both after Bonferroni post hoc test); the values decreased more in the 2 treatment groups than in the control group (P < .001 for between-group comparisons). Disability decreased more in the AE group (43.2%–18.8% [55.6% decrease]) than the KT group (37.8%–19.3% [48.3% decrease]) (P < .001 for both comparisons), but increased in the control group (38.7%–41.2% [6.5% increase]; P = .045). Conclusion: These results suggest AE and KT treatment methods provide pain intensity and disability improvements in women with chronic nonspecific LBP. Nevertheless, AE was more effective than KT.

Custom Made

A new approach to treating chronic low-back pain with custom-made foot orthoses was investigated. The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale was used to objectively assess the functional disability of 32 subjects at different times. Subjects in this prospective study experienced more than twice the improvement in alleviation of pain, and for twice as long, compared with subjects in a study using traditional back-pain treatment. The authors believe that the findings of this study may provide a new method by which patients with chronic low-back pain can be evaluated and treated.
