The aim of this study was to explore the effect of neural therapy on pain and functionality in patients with low back pain due to piriformis syndrome. It also aimed to find out any possible links between the clinical changes and demographic features.
One hundred and two patients were randomly divided into two groups (neural therapy and control). All patients were given stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle. The patients in the neural therapy group additionally received 6 sessions of neural therapy. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were noted before and after the treatment in both groups.
The VAS and ODI improved in both groups. However, improvement of the VAS and ODI scores were more obvious in the neural therapy group. The changes of VAS and ODI values did not show any correlations with the demographic features.
After the neural therapy, the patients with low back pain due to piriformis syndrome may have improvement in both pain and functioning.
本研究旨在探讨神经疗法对梨状肌综合征所致下腰痛患者疼痛及功能的影响。同时也旨在找出临床变化与人口统计学特征之间的任何可能联系。
102例患者被随机分为两组(神经疗法组和对照组)。所有患者均接受梨状肌拉伸锻炼。神经疗法组患者额外接受6次神经疗法治疗。记录两组治疗前后的视觉模拟评分(VAS)和Oswestry功能障碍指数(ODI)。
两组的VAS和ODI均有所改善。然而,神经疗法组的VAS和ODI评分改善更为明显。VAS和ODI值的变化与人口统计学特征无任何相关性。
经过神经疗法后,梨状肌综合征所致下腰痛患者的疼痛和功能可能均有所改善。
