简要总结
This study aims to examine the effects of shockwave therapy on myofascial tissue (muscles, fascia, and connective tissue), focusing on pain reduction and improvement of mobility. The results will be compared with those of conventional manual physiotherapy.
Myofascial tissue can be a source of back pain, as it may contain painful spots known as myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Shockwave therapy can stimulate these trigger points, potentially leading to muscle and fascia relaxation and, as a result, a decrease in pain.
The study investigates how focused shockwave trigger point therapy influences back function and pain perception compared to traditional physiotherapeutic treatment.
Participation is voluntary. The examinations will only be carried out if you provide written informed consent. You may refuse participation or withdraw your consent at any time without any disadvantages.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: 3 months
Pain measurement
Oswestry Disability Index
时间窗: 3 months
Disability related to low back pain measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater disability and worse functional outcome.
Visual Analog Scale for Pain
时间窗: 3 months
Pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable. Higher scores indicate worse pain.
次要结局
- Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale(3 Months)
- SF-12 Health Survey(3 months)
- Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)(3 months)
