The authors carried out a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial of rotational manipulation for low-back pain of recent onset in 81 adults. Control treatments were minimal massage and low-level electrostimulation. Initial status and outcome were measured on scales quantifying symptoms, activities of daily life, mobility, tenderness to palpation, aggravation of pain by coughing or sneezing, limitation of motion on testing, and forward flexion. Both treated and control patients improved rapidly in the 2-3-week observation period. On retest there was no statistically significant difference between the improvement scores of the treated or control groups on any of the scales.
作者对81名近期出现下背痛的成年人进行了一项关于旋转手法治疗的单盲随机对照临床试验。对照治疗为轻度按摩和低强度电刺激。通过量化症状、日常生活活动、活动能力、触诊压痛、咳嗽或打喷嚏时疼痛加剧、测试时运动受限以及前屈等量表来测量初始状态和结果。在2至3周的观察期内，治疗组和对照组患者均迅速改善。再次测试时，治疗组和对照组在任何量表上的改善得分之间均无统计学显著差异。
