简要总结
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of connective tissue massage and lumbar stabilization exercise treatment on pain severity, functional capacity and quality of life in those who have experienced peripheral neuropathy
详细描述
The patients diagnosed with fine fiber neuropathy by the neurology department of hacettepe university will be included and the patients referred to physical therapy will be included.
Patients meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly divided into 3 groups by simple randomization. The first group consisted of lumbal stabilization exercises, the second group with connective tissue massage and the third group with only medical treatment. All patients will be evaluated 2 times before and after 6 weeks. The treatment will be 2 days per week for 6 weeks. Exercise programs of the patients will be performed under the supervision of physiotherapist. In the first group, lumbal stabilization exercises will be applied for 6 weeks and the second group will be given connective tissue massage.
Statistical analysis of the study will be done using SPSS 21 statistical program.
In the statistical analysis to be carried out within the scope of the study, p value will be selected as 0.05 and p <0.05 will be considered significant. Mean ± standard deviation, number, percentage, minimum and maximum values will be used as descriptive statistics. Wilcoxon test is used to compare the pre- and post-treatment values of the groups in the variables and the Kruskal-Wallis test will be used to compare the groups with each other.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: six week
visual analogue scale measures pain on a horizontal 100mm line. The most left side on this line is defined no pain and the most right side is defined as 'the most severe pain imaginable'. Patients mark a point on the line according to the pain they feel. The pain level is measured in millimeters from the left to the marked point. we evaluate the current pain, the usual pain in the last month, the worst pain in the last month.
