CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential current are the most used electrotherapy methods, although there is little scientific evidence to support their use. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of TENS and interferential current among patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. DESIGN AND SETTING: Single-blind randomized controlled trial in the Department of Physiotherapy, Centro Universitário de Maringá. METHODS: One hundred and fifty patients were randomly divided into three groups: TENS (group 1), interferential current (group 2) and controls (group 3). The patients designated for electrotherapy received ten 30-minute sessions, while the control group remained untreated. All patients and controls were evaluated before and after treatment using a visual analog scale and the McGill Pain and Roland Morris questionnaires, and regarding their use of additional medications. RESULTS: There was a mean reduction on the visual analog scale of 39.18 mm with TENS, 44.86 mm with interferential current and 8.53 mm among the controls. In the Roland Morris questionnaire, group 1 had a mean reduction of 6.59; group 2, 7.20; and group 3, 0.70 points. In group 1, 84% of the patients stopped using medications after the treatment; in group 2, 75%; and in group 3, 34%. There was no statistically significant difference between the TENS and interferential current groups (P > 0.05); a difference was only found between these groups and the controls (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: There was no difference between TENS and interferential current for chronic low back pain treatment. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01017913.

Background. Low-back pain is a common problem in developed societies. The quest for methods to reduce this com­plaint may contribute to improving the quality of life for many people. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of Swedish massage combined with acupressure vs. Swedish massage alone in patients with low back pain. Material and methods. The study involved 20 women and 20 men with lumbosacral pain. The group was clinically ho­mo­geneous. The participants were randomized into two groups: Group 1, which received Swedish massage with acu­pressure techniques, and Group 2, treated with Swedish massage only. The research tools comprised the Laitinen Pain Score, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Roland-Morris Ques­tion­naire, the Thomayer test, and the measurement of lumbar spine extension. Differences between the mea­surements were evaluated with the Wilcoxon test, with the minimum significance level set at p≤0.05. Results. Both groups demonstrated a significant (p<0.05) decrease in pain intensity, improvement in quality of life and increase in physical activity. Increased segmental mobility of the spine was also observed in all patients, with significant changes (p<0.05) noted only in Group 1. In Group 2, the differences tended towards significance. Conclusion. In selected cases, Swedish massage combined with acupressure techniques may be more effective as a mo­notherapy in patients with non-specific low back pain than massage alone.

Abstract: There are several types of medications that can be used to relieve pain in low back pain (LBP) cases, inter alia non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), opioids, non-opioid analgesics, antidepressants, and muscle relaxants. This study was aimed to compare the functional status of patients treated with combination of ibuprofen and eperisone hydrochloride and those treated with ibuprofen only. This was a randomized controlled trial. Samples were taken by using purposive sampling with a total of 100 samples as subjects, divided into two groups: group 1 as the experimental group treated with combination therapies of ibuprofen and eperisone hydrochloride and group 2 as the control group treated with ibuprofen only. The therapy was performed for three times with a span of two weeks between each visit. The functional status was measured with finger-to-floor distance (FFD) test and the analysis was performed by using the chi-square test. The results showed 39 males and 61 females as subjects. There was no meaningful difference on the basic characteristics. The functional status of the subjects improved as the intensity of pain decreased. The results of the FFD test indicated that there was improvement of functional status of each group on the second visit, as follows: group 1 had 30 subjects (62.5%) with a distance of <10 cm and group 2 had 24 subjects (55.8%) with a distance of <10 cm. In conclusion, the functional status of non-specific acute lower back pain patients treated with combination of ibuprofen and eperisone hydrochloride was better than those treated with ibuprofen only.Keywords: low back pain; functional status; ibuprofen; eperisone hydrochloride combination  Abstrak: Terdapat beberapa jenis obat yang dapat digunakan untuk menghilangkan nyeri pada nyeri punggung bawah (NPB), antara lain golongan obat anti inflamasi non steroid (OAINS), opioid, analgesik non-opioid, antidepresan, dan pelemas otot. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa OAINS tidak cukup memadai sehingga perlu tambahan pelemas otot. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan perbandingan status fungsional pasien yang diberikan terapi kombinasi ibuprofen dan eperison dengan yang diberikan terapi ibuprofen saja. Penelitian ini menggunakan randomized controlled trial. Sampel diambil menggunakan purposive sampling dengan total 100 sampel sebagai subjek. Subjek dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok 1 sebagai kelompok eksperimental yang diberikan terapi kombinasi ibuprofen dan eperison dan kelompok 2 sebagai kelompok pembanding yang diberikan terapi ibuprofen. Terapi dilakukan sebanyak 3 (tiga) kali dengan rentang waktu dua minggu antara setiap kunjungan. Status fungsional diukur dengan finger-to-floor distance test (FFD). Data penelitian dianalisis dengan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 39 laki-laki dan 61 perempuan sebagai subyek penelitian. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada karakteristik dasar. Status fungsional subjek semakin membaik bila intensitas nyeri semakin berkurang. Hasil FFD test menunjukkan adanya perbaikan status fungsional setiap kelompok pada kunjungan kedua, yaitu pada kelompok 1 terdapat 30 subjek (62,5%) yang memiliki jarak <10 cm dan pada kelompok 2 terdapat 24 subjek (55,8%) yang memiliki jarak <10 cm. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah status fungsional pada pasien NPB akut non-spesifik yang diberikan pengobatan terapi kombinasi ibuprofen dan eperison lebih baik daripada yang diberikan pengobatan ibuprofen saja.Kata kunci: nyeri punggung bawah; status fungsional; ibuprofen; eperison

Abstract Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, but little is known about postural methods in its treatment. Objective: Analyze changes in muscle strength, flexibility, function and pain in patients with chronic low back pain that underwent isostretching and global posture reeducation (GPR). Methods: Thirty-nine patients, aged between 40 and 59 years, were evaluated before and after treatment protocols regarding: flexibility for sit and reach, muscle strength, functional capacity using the Rolland-Morris Questionnaire, and intensity of pain by Visual Analog Scale. The sample was randomized into two groups (1-GPR; 2-Isostretching), all of whom were treated individually through 12 sessions lasting 45 minutes each, twice a week. Results: After treatment, median reduction in pain intensity of 28 mm in group 1 and 32 mm in group 2 was observed, and a median improvement in functional capacity in group 1 of 8.5 points and 7 points in group 2 (p < 0,05). A mean improvement of severn repetitions in trunk extensor muscle strength was observed in group 1 and in group 2; by dynamometry of 10 kg / f in group 1 and 12.5 kg / f in group 2 of ten abdominal repetitions strength in group 1 and four repetitions in group 2 (p < 0.05).In the Sit and Reach, Group 1 had a total mean increase of 3cm, and group 2 had 1.6cm (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Both groups were effective in improvement of muscle strength, flexibility, pain and functional capacity.

Background: Epidural steroids have been proven to be one of the most effective non-operative managements of back pain. The present study entailed evaluation of the efficacy of epidural methylprednisolone acetate and triamcinolone acetate for treatment of low back pain and radiculopathy.Methods: The two groups of 25 participants, formed on the basis of the injectable epidural steroid used {80mg of methylprednisolone acetate (group 1) or 40mg of triamcinolone acetate (group 2)}, were enrolled after following due selection criteria. After detailed history taking, examination and requisite investigations, 15 ml volume of the drug was injected epidurally with the patient lying in lateral position. The patients were followed-up at 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months and pain assessment and percentage of pain relief was noted in comparison with the level of pain before epidural injection. Sleep quality, activity score, days in bed, analgesic requirement, complications and requirement of surgical intervention were all assessed at each follow-up.Results: The mean pain score was significantly less in group 1 after 6 weeks and 3 months period, with 60% in group 1 having “good” pain relief, while 69.56% amongst group 2 participants reported “fair” pain relief. Eighty four percent group 1 participants required 2 injections, while 64% participants in group 2 required 3 injections. There was overall improvement in the activity score, quality of sleep and decrease in bed rest and analgesic requirement.Conclusions: Epidural steroid therapy is highly efficacious and methylprednisolone acetate is more effective than triamcinolone acetate; with negligible complications.
