- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of three different treatment methods which consists spinal decompression, deep friction massage and exercise. The patients were separated three groups Group one received non-surgical spinal decompression therapy, group two received non-surgical spinal decompression, lumbar stabilization exercises and manual therapy, group three received manual therapy and lumbar stabilization exercises. All groups completed 15 sessions of therapy. In each session, pain severity was assessed with numeric analog scale, straight leg raise test applied and the degree of the hip flexion where the patient reported pain were recorded, respectively. Static, dynamic muscle strength-endurance tests were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended, six weeks after and three months after the study. Oswestry Disability Scale (ODI), Back Performance Scale (BPS), Lanss Neuropathic pain Questionnaire, Fear-Avoidance-Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) and McGill Pain Questionnaire were applied before the treatment sessions started, after the treatment sessions ended and three months after the study. Gradient of disc height and thickness of the herniation were assessed segmentally with magnetic resonance imagination (MRI) before the study and three months after the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method magnetic resonance imaging changes change from baseline in disc height and size of herniation at 3 months. changes recorded in micrometrical measurements.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method disability up to 3 months. Oswestry Disability Index used to assess the changes in function and disability levels. Scores range from 0 to 100. scores between 0 and 20 described as "minimal disability", scores between 21and 40 described as "moderate disability",scores between 41and 60 described as "severe disability",scores between 61 and 80 described as "crippled" and scores between 81 and 100 described as " bed bounded"
performance up to 3 months. back performance scale used to assess the changes in performance. Scores range from 0 to 15. The lower scores described good performance and higher scores described bad performance.
pain up to 3 months. McGill Pain Questionnaire used to asses the changes in pain levels. scores range from 0 to 78. The higher the pain score the greater the pain.
straight leg raise test for mobility up to 3 months Therapist raised patient's leg passively and the pain felt by the patient measured with goniometer and the angle recorded.
neuropathic pain up to 3 months. The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptom and Signs (LANSS) Pain Scale used to assess neuropathic pain. Scores range from 0 to 24. scores higher from 12 described neuropathic pain.
fear avoidance beliefs up to 3 months. FABQ used to assess fear related attitudes of the patients. Scores range from 0 to 42 . Higher points described high fear avoidance beliefs.
