简要总结
Role of Thoracolumbar Fascia Stretching on Pain Parameters with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain
详细描述
These findings demonstrate the significant impact of chronic pain on connective tissue health and highlight the importance of addressing this issue in the management of CLBP.
Chronic pain contributes to the persistence of chronic local connective tissue inflammation, resulting in fibrosis, connective tissue adhesions, and decreased mobility of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Furthermore, an increase in TLF thickness, possibly due to structural changes in the connective tissue, is associated with pain severity.
Stretching the fascia is a crucial aspect of manual and movement therapies. The results of this study provide evidence for the effectiveness of TLF stretching in reducing pain and improving pain sensitivity in CLBP patients.
The language used was clear, objective, and value-neutral, avoiding biased, emotional, figurative, or ornamental language.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain threshold
时间窗: 12 weeks
Pain threshold levels were analysed with algometer.
Temporal summation
时间窗: 12 weeks
With a cotton-tipped applicator, the points T12, L1 and L3 were tapped with a frequency of 1 cm/second. This is usually the site of cutaneous allodynia and trigger points. Three strokes were given at a predetermined interval. After each tap, patients were asked to rate the level of pain caused by the cotton-tipped applicator on a scale from 1 to 10. The primary outcome was pain level, which was scored from 1 to 10. Patients gave their responses verbally and these responses were recorded by the researcher.
NRS(Numerical rating scales)
时间窗: 12 weeks
We used a 10-point numerical rating scale (NRS) to assess the patient's current pain.
次要结局
- Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)(12 weeks)
- Pain Sensitivity Scale (PSS)(12 weeks)
