Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is determine the effects of lumbopelvic manipulation on fatigue, pain and disability in chronic low back pain patients. In this randomised clinical trial, lumbopelvic manipulation group was compared with conventional therapy group. Tools used in the study are numeric pain rating scale ,oswestry low back pain index and rating of fatigue scale.

Detailed Description

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

Low back pain is an extremely common problem which causes morbidity in adults. It is more likely to occur in individuals around the age 20 to 60, this is partly due to the changes that occurs with aging. It can be acute (less than 12 weeks) or chronic (more than 12 weeks). There are many causes of low back pain one of the most common is the lumber disc herniation. Some of the most serious causes of low back pain include (infection, malignancy, vertebral fracture, cauda equina syndrome and inflammatory disorders such as axial spondyloarthritis). Mostly low backpain can be a result of injury such as muscle strain or sprains due to sudden movements or poor body mechanics while lifting heavy loads. Pain in low back can be the result of infection effecting the bony lumber spine, ligaments around the spine, the spinal cord, nerves and muscles of the spine, internal organs and skin around the spine.

Treatment for low back pain falls into three broad categories, multidisciplinary therapy is based on intensive exercises that improves physical function and has modest effects on pain physiotherapy treatment of low back pain includes laser, massage, multidisciplinary rehabilitation and spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is a high velocity thrust to a joint beyond its restricted range of movement. Spinal manipulation to lumber spine is a common intervention administered for patients with low back pain.

There is limited use of the technique in our society especially finding its effects on fatigue in chronic low back pain.

Study Groups

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

Lumbopelvic manipulation and conventiontional therapy

Group A an experimental group was given conventional therapy and lumbopelvic manipulation. conventional therapy include TENS and Hot pack for 20 minutes , hamstrings stretching, calf stretching,transversus abdominis strengthening and lumber multipedes muscle strengthening. while lumbopelvic manipulation include high velocity thrust given in posterior direction to ASIS.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

lumbopelvic manipulation and conventional therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Lumbopelvic manipulation was given along with conventional physical therapy

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation was applies for 15 minutes. 3 alternate days per week.

Static stretching exercises for targeted muscles Erector spinae, hamstrings and calfs) - 4 repetations X 2 sets with 30 seconds hold and 1 minute of resting interval. On 03 alternate days per week.

Strengthening exercises for traverses abdomminis and lumber multipedus muscles - 15 repetitions X 3 sets. On 03 alternate days per week.

Total 12 session were given, each consisting of 45 minutes.

conventional therapy

Group B, control group was given only conventional therapy which include TENS and Hot pack for 20 minutes , hamstrings stretching, calf stretching,transversus abdominis strengthening and lumber multipedes muscle strengthening . 1 set of 10 repetitions, 3 sessions per week with a total of 12 sessions.
