简要总结
Low back pain is a very common problem that causes pain, disability, gait and balance problems. Neurodynamic techniques is used for treatment of low back pain. The aim of the study is comparing the effects of electrotherapy and neural mobilization techniques on pain, functionality, gait and balance.
详细描述
There are many physiotherapy modalities in the treatment of low back pain (LBP). Electrotherapy procedures, manual therapy techniques, kinesiotherapy and specific exercises are among those that are frequently used. In neural mobilization techniques, which began to gain popularity in 1990s, neural tissue and the surrounding structures are glided or tensioned to mobilize them. Neural mobilization is thought to have a positive effect on symptoms by inducing intraneural circulation, axoplasmic flow, and neural visco-elasticity and sensitivity associated with the connective tissue. There are studies in which this modality has yielded therapeutic success in terms of both pain and functionality, particularly in lumbar region and lower limb disorders where neural mechanosensitivity is increased.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain levels
时间窗: 3 weeks
The VAS was used to assess the participants' pain levels. In the VAS, patients are asked to mark the severity of their pain on a scale from 0 to 10. The VAS ranges from '0' representing no pain and '10' representing the worst pain.
次要结局
- Oswestry Disability Index(3 weeks)
