简要总结
Sexual function in low back pain and after lumbar surgery has been evaluated in many studies In a few studies, sexual function problems after surgery have also been reported. In the literature, there is no study that investigates the effectiveness of physical therapy on sexual function in patients with low back pain. In this study, the effectiveness of physical therapy on sexual function in patients with low back pain will be evaluated.
详细描述
63 patients who had chronic low back pain who applied to City Hospital, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department between January 2021 and January 2023 were enrolled in the study. Sexually active patients between the ages of 18 and 60, for whom physical therapy was planned for low-back pain related to lumbar pathologies, were included in the study. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. Exclusion criteria were defined as having contraindications for any physical therapy agents, having cardiovascular, neurological, psychiatric disease, or sexual disorders.
Short Form-12 (SF-12), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) were recorded. International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) were utilized to evaluate sexual function
Fifteen sessions of physical therapy were planned for each patient. The physical therapy program included 15 minutes of conventional transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, 10 minutes of ultrasound, and 15 minutes of superficial heaters such as hot packs or infrarouge. All patients were evaluated the day before the first physical therapy session, the one-month and three-month after the last physical therapy session.
