Non-specific low back pain is defined as pain located in the lumbar region; this condition is the most frequent musculoskeletal disorder. Negative pulsed-pressure myofascial vacuum therapy (vacuum treatment (VT)) devices mobilize tissue according to previously programmed parameters of force, time and frequency. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of VT combined with core therapeutic exercise versus a physical therapy program (PTP) based only on core therapeutic exercise. Fifty participants with chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned to two treatment groups, the VT group ( = 25) or the PTP group ( = 25). Pain, pressure-pain threshold, range of motion, functionality and quality of life were measured before treatment, at the end of treatment, and at one-month and three-month follow-ups. Both groups received 15 therapy sessions over 5 weeks. Statistically significant differences in favor of the VT group were shown in the results. In conclusion, the intervention based on myofascial vacuum therapy improved pain, mobility, pressure pain threshold, functionality and quality of life.
非特异性下腰痛被定义为位于腰椎区域的疼痛；这种情况是最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病。负压脉冲式肌筋膜真空疗法（真空治疗（VT））设备根据预先设定的力、时间和频率参数来移动组织。本研究的目的是比较VT联合核心治疗性锻炼与仅基于核心治疗性锻炼的物理治疗方案（PTP）的效果。50名患有慢性非特异性下腰痛的参与者被随机分配到两个治疗组，即VT组（n = 25）或PTP组（n = 25）。在治疗前、治疗结束时以及1个月和3个月随访时测量疼痛、压痛阈值、活动范围、功能和生活质量。两组在5周内均接受15次治疗。结果显示有利于VT组的统计学显著差异。总之，基于肌筋膜真空疗法的干预改善了疼痛、活动能力、压痛阈值、功能和生活质量。
