Low Back Pain (LBP) Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Research Protocol: The Effect of Grinberg Method (GM) Intervention on Low-back Pain (LBP) and Improving the Quality of Life
The purpose of the research is to check the efficiency of practicing the tools of the
Grinberg method (GM) in reducing Low-back Pain (LBP), reducing limitations in movement as a
result of the pain, and improving the general quality of life.
The hypothesis suggests that by learning to perceive pain differently, the level of pain
will reduce and general well-being improved.
The research will include 140 patients, who attended the pain clinic due to chronic LBP. Any
change in the pharmacological regimen will be done with consult of the tending doctor and
the change will be reported.
Tools and Methods A patient, whom volunteers to take part in the research, will be invited
to the Ichilov Pain clinic in order to fill-in questionnaires and sign an informed consent
form.
Each participant in the experiment group will participate in a series of 6 sessions lasting
1 hour each, extending between 6 to 8 consecutive weeks, with one of the qualified GM
practitioners partaking in the experiment. Each participant will have all their sessions
with the same GM practitioner throughout the experiment. Immediately after the last session,
the participants will fill-in the same questionnaires given at the beginning of the
experiment. The non-GM intervention group will answer the questionnaires after 6-8 weeks of
pharmacological treatment only.
Questionnaires:
- General Details and Pain Questionnaire
