Low Back Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate the Feasibility of a New Protocol for Treatment of Acute Low Back Pain and Sciatica From Lumbar Radiculopathy and Intervertebral Disc Herniation: Non-invasive Position-Induced Opening of the Intervertebral Foramen
Efficiency of the conservative mechanical lumbosacral nerve root decompression, as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment, in the case of acute lumbosacral radiculopathy.
Non-invasive Position-Induced Opening of the Intervertebral Foramen in sidelying position, as
an adjunct to pharmacological treatment, was used in the case of acute lumbosacral
radiculopathy.
20 examinees were split into two groups, 10 in the experimental and 10 in the control group.
Experimental group was given positional opening of the intervert. foramen, together with
pharmacological treatment - steroid antiinflammatory drug - dexamethasone, nonsteroid
antiinflammatory drugs and pain killers while control group was given just the same
pharmacological treatment and recommended rest.
Measured dependent variables were:
1. Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) for the low back and radiculopathy, separately
2. Straight leg raise in supine position - nerve mobility test
3. EuroQol questionnaire - general health condition questionnaire
4. Oswestry questionnaire - activities of daily living (ADL) specific questionnaire for low
back pain and lumbosacral radiculopathies Inclusive criteria were: Age between 20 - 60,
lumbar disc herniation recognized by the MRI, lumbosacral radiculopathy with symptoms
such as radicular pain, sensation dysfunctions or motor dysfunctions, recognized by
electromyography (EMG) diagnostics.
Exclusive criteria: age more than 60, degenerative lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis,
vertebra fractures, tumours.
Conclusion: Physiotherapy with a positional, mechanical decompression of the compressed
lumbosacral nerve root, as an adjunct to pharmacological treatment, is proved to be efficient
with the lumbosacral radiculopathy. It is recommended to be applied since the first day of a
patient admittance in the hospital if there is a position that can reduce the pain.
