简要总结
This study was done to compare the effect of instrumental-assisted soft tissue mobilization versus the effect of myofascial release on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, back function, and back range of motion in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
详细描述
Low back pain affects 20% of the workforce annually, leading to increased work absenteeism. Chronic non specific low back pain restricts functional and occupational activities, impacting society and the economy. Treatment is often unsatisfactory, and there is no consensus on the optimal approach. Further scientific research is needed to understand the effects of facial tissue manipulation on Chronic non specific low back pain patients. The literature has not addressed the distinctions between myofascial force transmission instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release on Chronic non specific low back pain patients, which could help physical therapists find effective treatments. This study is the first to include pain, Pressure pain threshold, back function, and range of motion as outcome measures and compare instrumental assisted soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release in Chronic non specific low back pain patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessing the change of pain intensity using visual analogue scale
时间窗: at baseline and after 6 weeks
The visual analogue scale is a reliable tool for assessing chronic musculoskeletal pain, including chronic low back pain, with high correlations with verbal descriptive and numeric rating scales. It is a 10-cm line marked with no pain and severe pain, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.
次要结局
- Assessing the change of pressure pain threshold using the pressure algometer(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
- Assessing the change of flexion range of motion of the lumbar spine using the back range of motion device(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
- Assessing the change of extension range of motion of the lumbar spine using the back range of motion device(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
- Assessing the change of lateral flexion range of motion of the lumbar spine using the back range of motion device(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
- Assessing the change of rotation range of motion of the lumbar spine using the back range of motion device(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
- Assessing the change of back function using the 5) The Arabic version of Oswestry Disability Index(at baseline and after 6 weeks)
