Clinical Trial Summary

Low back pain is a musculoskeletal problem that we commonly encounter in the clinic,which negatively affects the quality of life, reduces productivity and limits the ability to perform activities of daily living.

Description:

The most common causes of low back pain are disc lesions and soft tissue injuries due to trauma, rheumatological disorders such as spondylosis, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis, ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis due to degenerative changes; osteoporosis, root disorders, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Leg Check Test	When a subject is lying prone or supine, emptying the pelvis, the feet are examined for the presence of a "short leg" or alignment asymmetry, often at the margin (heel-sole interface). Evidence has suggested that for most people, anatomical leg length disparity is not clinically relevant until the size reaches ~20 mm (~3/4"). It is a clinical test commonly used by chiropractors	1 day
Primary	Pressure Pain Threshold Measurement with Algometer	Pressure algometry is a semi-quantitative method used to localize sensitive areas, trigger points, abnormal sensitivity on muscles and bones, and evaluate pressure pain sensitivity in tissues. The dial is calibrated to 2.5 kg in 25 g divisions. The pressure applied by continuously pressing the disc 35 against the skin is to advance the pointer on the dial clockwise through the metal piston.	1 day
Primary	Oswestry Disability Index	Low back pain is one of the most common disorders that cause activity limitationIt has 16 questions and two subscales: physical activity and work. The physical activity section consists of 5 questions and the labor section consists of 11 questions. The questionnaire was a 7-point Likert type scale. In the answers given to the questionnaire, 0 points are given to the statement of "I don't agree at all" and 6 points to the statement of "I totally agree".	one day
Primary	Patrick FABER Test:	The ipsilateral hip and knee joint of the participant in the supine position was flexed, and the heel was placed on the opposite knee. The test stresses the anterior sacroiliac ligaments and hip joint. It was accepted that the pain was felt in the sacroiliac joint region	1 day
Primary	Gaenslen Test	The participant was in the supine position on the examination table, with the lower extremity close to the evaluator hanging down from the bed, while the hip joint was brought to maximal hyperextension, while the hip and knee joints were passively brought to maximum flexion in the other lower extremity. The	1 day
Primary	Compression Test	The participant was positioned on their side, hips flexed to 45° and knees flexed to 90°. The evaluator applied a compression force from the superior iliac crest to the lower iliac crest behind the patient. This test stretches the posterior sacroiliac ligaments and compresses the anterior portion of the sacroiliac joint. The test was considered positive if there was pain in the sacroiliac joint.	1 day
Primary	The straight leg raise test	The straight leg raise test is known as the sciatic nerve stretch test. It has been reported that mobilization and stretching of the sciatic nerve occur from 30 degrees on.	1 day
