Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fifty five participants diagnosed with CNSLBP, will randomized into three groups. Group I (18 subjects) will receive 15 sessions of Conventional Physiotherapy program (CPP) 5 times per week, Group II (19 subjects) will receive 9 sessions of SNAGs, and Group III will receive CPP plus SNAGs. Outcome measures are pain, ROM, spinal mobility, fear avoidance behaviour and function. Measurements will record before, after and 6 month after the end of the treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Inclussion criterias are; low back pain for at least 3 months, intensity of pain ranges from 3 to 6 according to VAS. Exclussion criterias are; undergoing surgical operation in the lumbar region or having a surgical indication, having an exercise therapy and / or physical therapy in the last 1 year, a history of trauma involving lumbar region and systemic and inflammatory disease targeting this region, participants using corticosteroids for a long time and being pregnant.Acording to our criterias 55 participants diagnosed with CNSLBP will randomised into three groups. Group 1 will receive Conventional Physiotherapy programme consisting of Hot pack, US and TENS applications. Group II aill receive Lumbar SNAGS consisting of Lumbar Extension SNAGS in prone, SNAGS in lion position and Lumbar flexion SNAGS in sitting, techniques. Group III will receive 9 sessions of SNAGs, and Group III will receive CPP plus SNAGs.Outcome measures are pain, ROM, spinal mobility, fear avoidance behaviour and function. Measurements will record before, after and 6 month after the end of the treatment. All treatment groups were treated with the same researcher. All assessments were made by another blind researcher three times at before, after and 6 month after treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional Physiotherapy Group

Group I (18 subjects) received 15 sessions of Conventional Physiotherapy program (CPP) 5 times per week.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional Physiotherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Conventional Physiotherapy consist of Hotpacks, TENS and US.The participants were positioned in prone and supported with a pillow under the abdomen, 20 min hot pack was applied. Therapatic Ultrason were applied with the frequency of 1 MHz, intensity of 1,5 watt/cm² and duration of 5 minute. TENS was applied to the lumbar region with 2-channel, 4 surface electrodes at 60-120 Hz, and 50-100 pulse duration for 20 minutes.

Mulligan Mobilization Group

Mulligan Mobilization was administered 9 sessions (3 days a week, for 3 weeks). .

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mulligan Mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Extension SNAGS in prone, SNAGS in lion position and Lumbar flexion SNAGS in sitting, techniques were used. The techniques were applied in 3 sets with 10 repetitions and 60 seconds rest between sets.

Conventional Physiotherapy plus Mulligan Mobilization Group

Conventional Physiotherapy (15 session) plus Mulligan Mobilization Programme (9 session) were applied in this group. CP were applied 5 days a week and CP+MM 3 days a week for 3 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Conventional Physiotherapy

Mulligan Mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Extension SNAGS in prone, SNAGS in lion position and Lumbar flexion SNAGS in sitting, techniques were used. The techniques were applied in 3 sets with 10 repetitions and 60 seconds rest between sets.
