Follow up Lower Back Pain Management Method in Lower Back Pain Complaining Workers of Kyungin Area

Chronic lower back pain is one of the most common medical conditions leading to a significant decrease in quality of life. This study retrospectively analyzed whether the AxioBionics Wearable Therapy Pain Management (WTPM) System, a customized and wearable electrical stimulation device, alleviated chronic lower back pain, and improved muscular function. This study assessed self-reported pain levels using the visual analog scale before and during the use of the AxioBionics WTPM System when performing normal activities such as sitting, standing, and walking (n = 69). Results showed that both at-rest and activity-related pain were significantly reduced during treatment with the AxioBionics WTPM System (% reduction in pain: 64% and 60%, respectively; P < .05). Thus, this study suggests that the AxioBionics WTPM System is efficacious in treating chronic lower back pain even when other therapies have failed to sufficiently decrease reported pain levels.

AbstractBackgroundChronic lower back pain is the most frequent medical problem and the condition with the most years lived with disability. A pragmatic RCT was performed to assess a new treatment, Medi-Taping, which aims at reducing complaints by treating pelvic obliquity with a combination of manual treatment of trigger points and kinesio taping.Methods110 patients were randomized at two study centers either to Medi-Taping or to a standard treatment consisting of psychoeducation and physiotherapy as control. Treatment duration was three weeks. Measures were taken at baseline, end of treatment and at follow-up after two months. Main outcome criteria were lower back pain measured with VAS, the Chronic Pain Grade Scale and the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire.ResultsPatients of both groups benefited from the treatment by medium to large effect sizes. All effects were pointing towards the intended direction with patients receiving Medi-Taping doing better. But at end of treatment and follow-up there were no significant differences for the primary endpoints between groups. Health related quality of life was significantly higher (p=.004) in patients receiving Medi-Taping compared to controls.ConclusionsMedi-Taping, a purported way of correcting pelvic obliquity and chronic tension resulting from it, is a treatment modality similar in effectiveness as a complex physiotherapy and patient education program.SignificanceThis RCT evaluated the effect of a combined therapy consisting of manual treatment and kinesio tape in patients with lower back pain. Patients receiving this treatment benefitted substantially but so did patients in the active control condition receiving physiotherapy and patient education. However, patients receiving the combined treatment had a significant higher quality of life.

Background: We aim to compare the effectiveness of 3 active interventions, i.e., yoga, eurythmy therapy, and physiotherapeutic exercise, on chronic lower back pain. Methods: In this randomized controlled trial over 16 weeks (8 weeks of intervention, 8 weeks of follow-up), data of individuals with chronic lower back pain will be analyzed. Interventions are implemented as group sessions (75 min) once per week. Participants receive a manual for home-based practice and are assessed before and at the end of the 8-week intervention period, and at the end of an 8-week follow-up period. Standardized questionnaires are: the Roland-Morris Disability Score, visual analog scales measuring intensity of pain, the Brief Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Inner Correspondence with the Practices questionnaire, the Freiburg Mindfulness Questionnaire, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, a self-regulation questionnaire, the Internal Coherence Scale, a pain diary (registering the need of analgesic medication), and a questionnaire on the patients' expectation that the interventions will be effective in reducing pain and how strong this reduction might be (2 single items), etc. Discussion: This large multicenter study will provide evidence on the effectiveness of 3 contrasting movement-orientated treatments that share some similarities but differ in essential details: yoga, eurythmy therapy, and physiotherapeutic exercises. It will provide important data on non-pharmacological options to treat lower back pain in a large group of affected individuals.
