Apparent Diffusion

ABSTRACTPain perception, trunk mobility in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) within nucleus pulposus of all lumbar discs were collected before and after posterior-to-anterior mobilization in 16 adults with acute low back pain. ADC was computed from diffusion maps and 3 specific portions of the nucleus pulposus were investigated: anterior (ADCant), middle (ADCmid), and posterior (ADCpost), and their mean as ADCall, a summary measure of ADC within nucleus pulposus. Pain ratings were significantly reduced after mobilization, and mobility of the trunk was significantly increased. Concomitantly, a significant increase in ADCall values was observed. The greatest ADCall changes were observed at the L3-L4 and L4-L5 levels and were mainly explained by changes in ADCant and ADCpost. The simultaneous reduction in pain and increase of water diffusion within nucleus pulposus has has been previously observed in subjects with chronic conditions and exists in the acute phase of the disease. Since the largest changes in ADC were observed at the periphery of the nucleus pulposus, and taken together with pain decrease, our results suggest that increased peripheral random motion of water molecules is implicated in the modulation of the intervertebral disc nociceptive response.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Objective: Non-specific low back pain (non-specific LBP) is common problem between office-work employees. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term impacts of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy in the treatment of non-specific LBP symptoms as pain, back mobility, LBP disabilities, and Health–Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). Methods: Forty-two University’s employees with non-specific LBP and aged from 35 to 55 years who participated in this study from January to June 2018 were divided into two groups: group A; received PEMF therapy and group B; received sham treatment. The outcome measures were; numerical rating scale, Modified Oswestry LBP Disability Score, Modified Schober test, and the Short Form-36 questionnaire. Evaluations were performed for both groups before and after finishing treatment. Results: All outcome measures were significantly improved statistically in the experimental group at the end of the intervention (p<0.05). On the other hand, there were non-significant differences in all outcome measures in the sham group (p>0.05). Conclusions: PEMT therapy may decrease pain, LBP disability, increase lumbar spine mobility, and improve HRQOL in middle-aged university’s employees with nonspecific LBP. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.49 How to cite this:Abdelhalim NM, Samhan AF, Abdelbasset WK.

Mckenzie Method

A program utilizing patient response to repeated lumbar movements (including flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation), known as the McKenzie method, has now been demonstrated to be twice as effective in alleviating low back pain compared to traction and back schools. This is a capsule summary of the “Extrac '86” study as detailed in The Journal of Musculoskeletal Medicine 1987; vol. 4(9):27–34 and 4(12):63–74.
