Study aim
-
Comparative study of myofascial release of lumbar spine muscles with lower limb muscle release on myofascial system parameters and performance in patients with chronic non-specific back pain.
-
Design
-
The study is a clinical trial with a control group, with parallel, double-blind, randomized groups. . People are divided into three groups by simple randomization method
-
Settings and conduct
-
Non-random sampling of people with non-specific chronic back pain referring to physiotherapy clinics was selected in a simple and accessible way, then after selecting the sample with entry and exit criteria, the participants were divided into three groups by simple randomization method.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
The inclusion criteria for the study included people aged 18-45 who had non-specific chronic back pain that lasted more than 3 months and caused muscle involvement, and their VAS was less than 3, which means it was not an acute problem. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, tumor Spinal cord, infection or fracture, infectious, vascular, endocrine, metabolic or neoplastic autoimmune disease, systemic disease, fibromyalgia, cauda equina syndrome, previous spine surgery or lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries, previous experience in myofascial therapy or history of rehabilitation therapy Do not have back pain in the past two months
-
Intervention groups
-
Individuals in the two intervention groups, a lumbar fascia release group and a lower extremity fascia release group, receive four sessions twice a week along with routine electrotherapy. In the control group, only routine electrotherapy is performed.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Muscle thickness, pain, disability
