Myofascial Release and Mobilization With Impulse Technique Torsion in Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Myofascial Soft Tissue Release and Mobilization With Impulse Technique Torsion in Subjects With Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the current randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of myofascial soft tissue release versus mobilization with impulse technique torsion (anterior) on pain, disability, and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Design: Randomized Clinical Trial. Objective: to determine the effects of myofascial soft tissue release versus mobilization with impulse technique torsion (anterior) on pain, disability and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Methods and Measures: sixty-four individuals will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.

Intervention: For 12-week, the group 1 will undergo treatment comprising a myofascial soft tissue release protocol (1/week) and the group 2 will receive a mobilization with impulse technique torsion (anterior) (1/week).

Main Outcome Measures: Intensity of pain, disability, fear of movement, isometric endurance of trunk flexor muscles and lumbar mobility in flexion data will be collected at baseline, and 24hr after the last manual therapy application. Mixed-model analyses of variance will be used to examine the effects of the treatment on each outcome measure. ;

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment
