Specific or Non-Specific Manipulation for Patients With Back Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

We aim to evaluate the long-term effects of 10 sessions of spinal manipulative therapy applied in a vertebral region-specific or region nonspecific level immediately after treatment and 3 and 6 months after randomization.

Clinical Trial Description

To evaluate the long-term effects of 10 sessions of spinal manipulative therapy applied in a vertebral region-specific or region nonspecific level immediately after treatment and 3 and 6 months after randomization.

148 patients with chronic non-specific low back pain will be enrolled for this clinical trial. Patients will undergo to a specific physical examination in order to determine the ideal lumbar spine level to be manipulated. The outcomes of interest are pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, global perceived effect and disability associated with back pain. After the first assessment patients will be randomly assigned to two groups that will receive 10 sessions of spinal manipulation over a period of four weeks, and may receive manipulation according to the findings on physical examination (specific manipulation) or may receive manipulation in the upper thoracic region, disregarding the physical examination findings (nonspecific manipulation). ;
