简要总结
This study aimed to investigate the impact of lumbar perimuscular and subcutaneous zone thickness on pain, functionality, disability, and depression in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
详细描述
This study investigates the role of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in chronic low back pain (CLBP) persisting for more than one year. Specifically, the researchers aim to examine the relationships between various factors in individuals with CLBP, including the thickness of the perimuscular and subcutaneous regions in the lumbar and hamstring regions. The relationship with functional tests of the lower back and lower limbs will also be analysed. In addition, the intensity of the pain experienced by the participants, the extent to which the pain restricts their daily activities, and depression scores will be assessed. Through this analysis, the researchers aim to gain a deeper understanding of TLF's involvement in CLBP and its impact on the overall well-being of affected individuals.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: baseline
The Visual Analog Scale, a 100 mm long scale marked at every 10 mm and ranging from 0 to 10, will be used to assess the level of pain. Patients mark their own pain level on this scale, scoring between 0 and 10, where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 represents "the worst possible pain"
Lumbar Extensor Shortening Assessment
时间窗: baseline
This physiotherapy method is used to evaluate the shortening of the extensor muscles in the lumbar region. The patient lies supine with their arms in a reverse 'T' position. They are instructed to flex both hips and knees and draw them towards their abdomen. The distance between the knees and the chest is recorded
Straight Leg Raise Test (SLR)
时间窗: baseline
The Straight Leg Raise Test is a physiotherapy method used to determine the range of motion of the hip joint. The patient lies supine. They are instructed to lift one leg as high as possible without bending the knee. The leg that remains on the ground should not lift, and its knee should remain extended. The point reached by the raised leg is measured with a goniometer. The same procedure is repeated for the other leg . Normally, the hip flexion angle is 90 degrees; a range of 70-90 degrees is considered normal in adults. An angle below 70 degrees indicates restriction.

- Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ)(baseline)
- Beck Depression Inventory(baseline)
