Craniosacral Therapy in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the current randomized clinical trial was to analyze the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy on disability, pain intensity, kinesiophobia, quality of life, isometric endurance of trunk flexor muscles, mobility, and oxygen saturation, blood pressure, cardiac index, and biochemical estimation of interstitial fluid in individuals with chronic low back pain.

Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To analyze the effects of craniosacral therapy on disability, pain intensity, quality of life, and mobility in patients with chronic low back pain.

Design: A single blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Clinical setting. Subjects: Sixty-four patients (42 females) with chronic low back pain. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group (craniosacral therapy group) or a control group (classic massage group).

Main measures: Self-reported disability (Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire - primary outcome; and Oswestry Disability Index), pain intensity (a 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale), scale of kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia), isometric endurance of trunk flexor muscles (McQuade Test), lumbar mobility in flexion, and oxygen saturation, blood pressure, cardiac index, and biochemical estimation of interstitial fluid. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
