简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical aspects and to investigate the therapeutic effects of combined therapy with laser on back pain.
详细描述
Dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system are related to physiological, kinesiological and biomechanical factors that result in pain, paresthesia, inflammation, heaviness, fatigue and compression of peripheral nerves. Clinical aspects related to back pain were investigated. For treatment, photobiomodulation can be performed with laser equipment that emits red and infrared light, which promotes analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Mechanical stimulus can be combined with laser to improve therapeutical effects. In this context, the laser was combined with ultrasound, negative pressure and positive pressure to treat back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity
时间窗: 1 day and 7 weeks
Visual analogue scale (VAS): The volunteer was instructed to give a score for pain intensity between 0 (no pain) and 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Algometry - Pressure threshold measurement
时间窗: 1 day and 7 weeks
Pain pressure threshold on low back using algometer. Data obtained in Newton. Higher pressure pain threshold is reported for lower pain sensitivity.
Dynamometry - Strenght measurement
时间窗: 1 day and 7 weeks
Isometric trunk strength using dynamometer. Data obtained in Newton. greater the value, greater the strength.
次要结局
- Anamnesis(1 day)
- Waist-hip ratio (WHR) measurement(1 day)
- Body mass index (BMI) measurement(1 day)
- Body composition measurement(1 day)
- Quality of life assessment(1 day and 7 weeks)
- Flexibility of the spine(1 day and 7 weeks)
- Goniometry - Angular measurement(1 day and 7 weeks)
