Chronic low back pain is associated with dysfunctions in endogenous analgesia mechanisms, as evaluated through conditioned pain modulation paradigms. Although mobilization with movement has demonstrated enhancements in conditioned pain modulation among patients with conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, its efficacy in chronic low back pain patients has yet to be established.
To investigate the effects of mobilization with movement compared to sham mobilization in conditioned pain modulation, mechanical hyperalgesia, and pain intensity in chronic low back pain patients.
Randomized controlled trial following CONSORT and TIDieR guidelines.
Fifty-eight patients with chronic low back pain (mean age 48.77 ± 13.92 years) were randomized into the experimental group, which received real mobilization with movement (n = 29), or the sham mobilization with movement group (n = 29). Only one intervention was performed. Patients were assessed before and after intervention. Conditioned pain modulation, mechanical hyperalgesia and pain intensity were assessed.
Mobilization with movement resulted in no statistically significant differences compared to sham mobilization for conditioned pain modulation (post-treatment difference: 0.023 [-0.299, 0.345], p = 0.158), mechanical hyperalgesia (post-treatment difference: -0.198 [-0.505, 0.109], p = 0.207), or movement-related pain intensity (post-treatment difference: 0.548 [-0.068, 1.236], p = 0.079) improvements post-intervention. Effect sizes were small for conditioned pain modulation (r = 0.126), mechanical hyperalgesia (r = 0.101), and pain intensity (r = 0.208).
Mobilization with movement resulted in no significant differences compared to sham mobilization with movement after one intervention for conditioned pain modulation, mechanical hyperalgesia or pain intensity, with small effect sizes. However, the findings should be interpreted with caution due to absence of screening for appropriately eligible patients.
慢性下腰痛与内源性镇痛机制功能障碍有关,这是通过条件性疼痛调制范式评估得出的。尽管运动松动术已证明可增强膝骨关节炎等疾病患者的条件性疼痛调制能力,但其在慢性下腰痛患者中的疗效尚未得到证实。
研究运动松动术与假运动松动术相比,对慢性下腰痛患者条件性疼痛调制、机械性痛觉过敏和疼痛强度的影响。
遵循CONSORT和TIDieR指南的随机对照试验。
58例慢性下腰痛患者(平均年龄48.77±13.92岁)被随机分为实验组(n = 29),接受真正的运动松动术,或假运动松动术组(n = 29)。仅进行一次干预。在干预前后对患者进行评估。评估条件性疼痛调制、机械性痛觉过敏和疼痛强度。
与假运动松动术相比,运动松动术在条件性疼痛调制(治疗后差异:0.023[-0.299, 0.345],p = 0.158)、机械性痛觉过敏(治疗后差异:-0.198[-0.505, 0.109],p = 0.207)或与运动相关的疼痛强度(治疗后差异:0.548[-0.068, 1.236],p = 0.079)方面,干预后改善无统计学显著差异。条件性疼痛调制(r = 0.126)、机械性痛觉过敏(r = 0.101)和疼痛强度(r = 0.208)的效应量较小。
在进行一次干预后,与假运动松动术相比,运动松动术在条件性疼痛调制、机械性痛觉过敏或疼痛强度方面无显著差异,效应量较小。然而,由于未对适当合格的患者进行筛查,这些结果应谨慎解释。
