简要总结
the current study was to investigate the effect of class IV laser therapy and Pilates exercises on bone density in Osteoporosis.Sixty patients with osteoporosis (T-score values below -2.5) in lumbar spine with no evidence of vertebral compression fractures were recruited from October 6 University Hospital and Kaser El-aini Hospital, Cairo - Egypt from February 2019 to November 2019. Their age ranged from 40 to 60 years old. Patients with a history of tumors, ovariectomy, heart disease, renal failure, disc prolapse, or any trauma to the back area were excluded from the study
详细描述
They were allocated randomly into three groups: Group A consists of 20 patients received a multiwave locked system laser, group B consists of 20 patients received Pilates exercises and group C consists of 20 patients received a multiwave locked system laser and Pilates exercises. Patients with a history of tumors, ovariectomy, heart disease, renal failure, disc prolapse, or any trauma to the back area were excluded from the study. All patients who participated in the current study did not intake any medications to accelerate bone density like vitamin D or calcium. The randomization method was applied by asking each patient to choose a piece of paper that the (A), (B), or (C) letter was written. (A) considered the LLLT group, (B) considered the Pilates exercise group, while (C) considered the LLLT and Pilates exercises group. Both patients, the examiner, and therapist were blinded from the selection process.

结局指标
主要结局
DEXA
时间窗: 8 weeks
Model QDR-1000W, NORLAND; Hologic Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts, USA was used to measure bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine in mg/cm2.
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 8 weeks
Pain intensity was measured by using NPRS which consists of an11-points numeric scale range from '0' representing 'no pain' to '10' representing 'the worst pain'. All patients were instructed to choose a number from 0 to 10 that describe their pain. The classification of pain intensity on the scale was: 0 indicate no pain, points from 1-3 indicate mild pain, points from 4-6 indicate moderate pain, and points from 7-10 indicate severe pain
