The aim of this study was to determine whether a 12-week course of low-frequency vibrating board therapy is a feasible therapy for non-specific chronic low back pain, and whether it improves the main outcome measures.
Randomized controlled trial.
A total of 50 patients with non-specific low back pain were included. They were randomly assigned to either a vibrating plate via reciprocation therapy group (n = 25) or a control group (n = 25).
The 12-week vibration therapy programme consisted of a total of 24 training sessions (2 times/week, with 1 day of rest between sessions). Assessments of the main outcome measures for non-specific low back pain were performed at baseline and at 12 weeks.
In the vibration therapy group there was a statistically significant improvement, of 20.37% (p = 0.031) in the Postural Stability Index (anterior-posterior); 25.15% (p = 0.013) in the Oswestry Index; 9.31% in the Roland Morris Index (p = 0.001); 8.57% (p = 0.042) in EuroQol 5D-3L; 20.29% (p = 0.002) in the Sens test; 24.13% (p = 0.006) in visual analogue scale back; and 16.58% (p = 0.008) in the Progressive Isoinertial Lifting Evaluation test.
A 12-week course of low-frequency vibrating board therapy is feasible and may represent a novel physical therapy for patients with non-specific low back pain.
本研究旨在确定 12 周低频振动板治疗是否是一种可行的非特异性慢性腰痛治疗方法，以及它是否能改善主要的结局指标。
随机对照试验。
共纳入 50 例非特异性腰痛患者。他们被随机分配到振动板经行往复治疗组（n=25）或对照组（n=25）。
为期 12 周的振动治疗方案包括总共 24 次训练（每周 2 次，两次训练之间休息 1 天）。在基线和 12 周时对非特异性腰痛的主要结局指标进行评估。
在振动治疗组中，姿势稳定指数（前后）有显著改善，改善率为 20.37%（p=0.031）；Oswestry 指数改善 25.15%（p=0.013）；Roland Morris 指数改善 9.31%（p=0.001）；EuroQol 5D-3L 改善 8.57%（p=0.042）；Sens 测试改善 20.29%（p=0.002）；视觉模拟量表背部疼痛改善 24.13%（p=0.006）；Progressive Isoinertial Lifting Evaluation 测试改善 16.58%（p=0.008）。
12 周低频振动板治疗是可行的，可能代表了一种治疗非特异性腰痛的新型物理疗法。
