Low-back pain is a worldwide pain syndrome causing important limitations to daily activity. Common treatment guidelines recommend drugs and exercise.
To evaluate the efficacy of a standardized NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) lumbar application in reducing pain and improving function associated with back-school therapy (BST).
Single-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group was treated with BTS followed by three applications of NMT over 8 days and the control group who underwent only BST. All patients were evaluated before and at the end of treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks from the end of BST and with a follow-up at distance of three months from the last evaluation, with pain numeric scale, Oswestry disability index and Schober test.
Significant pain reduction and functional improvement have been observed in the follow-up evaluations in the experimental group.
Association of a standardized NMT application to BTS was seen to significantly improve function and reduce pain with longer time efficacy.
腰痛是一种全球性的疼痛综合征,对日常活动造成重要限制。常见的治疗指南推荐药物和运动。
评估标准化的腰椎神经肌肉贴扎(NMT)在减轻与返校治疗(BST)相关的疼痛和改善功能方面的疗效。
单盲随机对照试验。实验组接受BTS治疗,随后在8天内进行3次NMT贴扎,对照组仅接受BST。所有患者在治疗前和治疗结束时、BST结束后4周和8周以及最后一次评估后3个月的随访中,使用疼痛数字量表、Oswestry功能障碍指数和Schober试验进行评估。
在实验组的随访评估中观察到疼痛显著减轻和功能改善。
标准化的NMT应用与BTS联合使用可显著改善功能并减轻疼痛,且具有较长时间的疗效。
