简要总结
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the immediate effects of neuro-lymphatic treatment, thoracic vertebral and costal articulatory in terms of back pain levels, cervical and dorsal flexibility, sense of body comfort and satisfaction with the treatment received.
详细描述
Subjects:
The study was conducted at the Faculty of Physiotherapy of the University of Valencia (Spain). Persistent non-specific back pain subjects between 20 and 30 years old were recruited and voluntarily participated in the study. Excluded subjects with musculoskeletal injuries such as spine or balance disorders, those which were recovering from an injury of the locomotor or neurological system, or those who had sequelae from any trauma suffered in the past six months that could affect the results of the study.
Study design:
The conducted study was an experimental, longitudinal and prospective, controlled, randomized and single-blind design (subjects and therapists didn't know the objectives of the treatment nor how many treatments were offered, evaluators were unaware of the treatments applied). There were 3 groups: a) neuro-lymphatic treatment; b) vertebral articulatory treatment; c) proximal costal articulatory treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
Test sit-and-reach
时间窗: 15 minutes after treatment
Test sit-and-reach or finger-floor distance. The subject remains standing on a box designed for this purpose, leaving the arms and trunk relaxed. In this position the subject flexes the trunk forward and maintains its maximum flexion for 3 seconds. This is repeated and the most favorable is measured. There is a vertical scale with a range of 50 cm (25 cm negative and 25cm positive). The evaluator is placed next to the scale and records the furthest measure touched by the fingertips of both hands. If the hands reach different measures, the shortest is recorded.
Cervical flexion
时间窗: 15 minutes after treatment
Cervical movement was evaluated with cervical goniometer. The Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) system combines inclinometers and magnets arranged on a head support and also supported on the nose bone.
Cervical extension
时间窗: 15 minutes after treatment
Global cervical movement was evaluated with cervical goniometer. The Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) system combines inclinometers and magnets arranged on a head support and also supported on the nose bone.
Cervical inclination
时间窗: 15 minutes after treatment
Global cervical movement on both sides was evaluated with cervical goniometer. The Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) system combines inclinometers and magnets arranged on a head support and also supported on the nose bone.
Cervical rotation
时间窗: 15 minutes after treatment
Global cervical movement on both sides was evaluated with cervical goniometer. The Cervical Range of Motion (CROM) system combines inclinometers and magnets arranged on a head support and also supported on the nose bone.
次要结局
- Satisfaction / comfort(15 minutes after treatment)
- Patient global impression of change scale(15 minutes after treatment)
- McGill pain perception(15 minutes after treatment)
