Detailed Description

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

This study investigates the role of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) in chronic low back pain (CLBP) persisting for more than one year. Specifically, the researchers aim to examine the relationships between various factors in individuals with CLBP, including the thickness of the perimuscular and subcutaneous regions in the lumbar and hamstring regions. The relationship with functional tests of the lower back and lower limbs will also be analysed. In addition, the intensity of the pain experienced by the participants, the extent to which the pain restricts their daily activities, and depression scores will be assessed. Through this analysis, the researchers aim to gain a deeper understanding of TLF's involvement in CLBP and its impact on the overall well-being of affected individuals.

Study Groups

Low back pain

Fascia thickness of individuals with chronic low back pain will be measured by ultrasound and the relationship with pain, flexibility, disability and depression will be analysed.

Ultrasound

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

To investigate the thickness of the fascia tissue, the subjects will undergo an ultrasound examination using a clinical ultrasound system (S9, SonoScape Corporation, made in China) with a linear 5-14 MHz array of L14-5/38. The transducer with a cross-section of 6.24 cm2 will be aimed at points 2 cm lateral to the midline of the L2 and L3 vertebrae on both sides of the spine.
