To evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) application on pain and disability in patients treated with physical rehabilitation for mechanical low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP).
In this retrospective case-control study, pre- and post-treatment numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI) score, neck disability index (NDI) score, disability categories, and treatment outcome categories were compared between 213 patients in the FSM group (167 patients with LBP, 46 patients with NP) and 78 patients in the control group (61 patients with LBP, 17 patients with NP).
In LBP patients, mean post-treatment NPRS score was significantly lower (p = 0.02) and a significantly higher percentage of patients were in the ≤3 NPRS score (p = 0.02), in the minimal disability (p = 0.01), and the full success (p = 0.006) categories post-treatment in the FSM group when compared to the control group. In NP patients, there was no significant difference in the post-treatment pain intensity, disability or treatment outcome when the 2 groups were compared.
The use of adjuvant FSM application in patients treated with physical rehabilitation for LBP significantly improved pain and disability when compared to patients in the control group. Frequency specific microcurrent could be a useful adjuvant in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with low back pain.
评估辅助频域微电流（FSM）应用对接受物理康复治疗的机械性下腰痛（LBP）和颈痛（NP）患者疼痛和残疾的疗效。
在这项回顾性病例对照研究中，比较了 FSM 组（167 例 LBP 患者，46 例 NP 患者）和对照组（78 例 LBP 患者，17 例 NP 患者）的 213 例患者的治疗前后数字疼痛评分量表（NPRS）评分、Oswestry 残疾指数（ODI）评分、颈痛残疾指数（NDI）评分、残疾类别和治疗效果类别。
在 LBP 患者中，治疗后平均 NPRS 评分显著降低（p=0.02），治疗后处于≤3 NPRS 评分（p=0.02）、最小残疾（p=0.01）和完全成功（p=0.006）类别的患者比例显著升高在 FSM 组与对照组相比。在 NP 患者中，两组之间比较时，治疗后疼痛强度、残疾或治疗效果无显著差异。
与对照组相比，在接受物理康复治疗的 LBP 患者中使用辅助 FSM 应用可显著改善疼痛和残疾。频域微电流可能是腰痛康复治疗的一种有用的辅助手段。
