研究概览

简要总结

The aim of the study is to use diagnostic ultrasound to compare the thickness of soft tissues in the low back in a group of patients with chronic low back pain treated with massage to a control group of non-treated patients.

It is hypothesized that on average, soft tissue thickness in the lumbar region will change in the group receiving massage compared to the control group.

详细描述

A specialized form of massage designed to reduce fascial restrictions will be compared to a no-treatment control group based on a change in thickness of the lumbodorsal fascia as determined by ultrasound imaging.
