Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Neuroscience pain education group
in Group 1, participants received Neuroscience pain education, manual therapy and a home exercise program.
neuroscience pain education
A total of 4 NPE (Neuroscience paine education) sessions were held, once each week, before an MT session. The NPE sessions were conducted by an experienced physiotherapist certified in NPE in face-to-face, one-on-one sessions lasting 40-45 minutes. In NPE, the patient is taught about the physiology of pain, central sensitization, representation of the different body regions in the brain, pain-related changes in body perception, and the psychosocial dimensions of pain.
manual therapy
In our study, Manual therapy (MT) was individualized according to each patient's response to treatment. In this method, the physiotherapist identifies and performs techniques suitable for the patient's symptoms. If the selected techniques do not have a direct positive effect on the patient's symptoms, they are replaced with other techniques.MT were performed in a total of 8 sessions, held twice a week for 4 weeks. Treatment sessions lasted an average of 40-45 minute.The entire treatment program was carried out by the same physiotherapist who is trained and experienced in this area.
home exercises
All participants in all groups were assigned the home exercise program. The program aims to increase strength and flexibility of the abdominal, erector spinae, gluteal, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles. The participants were then asked to perform all of the exercises with 10 repetitions of each exercise 3 times a day for 4 weeks.
Manual therapy group
in Group 2, participants received manual therapy and a home exercise program.
