研究组 & 干预措施
Spinal Manipulation
Subjects with subacute low back pain. Subjects will receive 6 treatments of Spinal Manipulation (SM) over 2 consecutive weeks
干预措施: Spinal Manipulation (Other)
Placebo Spinal Manipulation
Subjects with subacute low back pain. Subjects will be asked to visit the clinic for 6 times. The clinician will go through SM motions but the spine will not actually be manipulated.
干预措施: Placebo Spinal Manipulation (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Pain Threshold measured using Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) testing
时间窗: Change from Pre-treatment to Post-treatment, 2 Weeks
Outcome will be measured using Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) testing. Pressure will be applied to subjects using a digital algometer. Three trials for PPT will be done and the mean value will be calculated.
次要结局
- Change in function measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
- Change in Low Back Pain measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
- Change in Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)(Change from Baseline to Week 2)
