Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy in treating chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).

Methods

A total of 65 CNLBP patients were divided into two groups by the random number table method. Thirty-three cases in the treatment group were intervened by sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy; 32 cases in the control group were intervened by medium-frequency electrotherapy plus exercise therapy. Before and after treatment, visual analog scale (VAS), dynamic and static muscle endurance of low back, median frequency (MF) of surface electromyography (sEMG) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate the low back function. The therapeutic efficacy was estimated after treatment.

Results

The two groups each had 2 dropouts during the study. The total effective rate was 90.3% in the treatment group versus 66.7% in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score, dynamic and static muscle endurance of low back, MF of sEMG and ODI score all changed significantly in both groups (all P<0.05); all the items in the treatment group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05).

Conclusion

Sinew-regulating bone-setting manipulations plus exercise therapy can effectively release pain in CNLBP patients, increase muscle endurance of the low back and improve the quality of life, and its therapeutic efficacy is more significant than that of medium-frequency electrotherapy plus exercise therapy.

摘要

目的

评价理筋正骨手法结合运动疗法治疗慢性非特异性下背痛(CNLBP)的临床疗效.

方法

将65例CNLBP 患者根据随机数字表法分为两组, 治疗组33例接受理筋正骨手法联合运动疗法治疗; 对照组32例接受中频电疗 法结合运动疗法治疗. 治疗前后使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)、腰部动静态肌耐力、表面肌电中位频率(MF)和Oswestry 功能障碍指数(ODI)对患者腰部功能进行评估. 治疗后进行疗效评价.

结果

治疗过程中, 两组各脱落2例. 治疗 组总有效率为90.3%, 对照组为66.7%, 两组总有效率差异有统计学意义(P<0.05). 治疗后, 两组VAS评分、腰部动 静态肌耐力、表面肌电MF和ODI评分与本组治疗前均有统计学差异(均P<0.05); 治疗组各项指标与对照组均有统 计学差异(均P<0.05).

结论

理筋正骨手法结合运动疗法可有效缓解CNLBP患者的疼痛, 提高腰部肌肉耐力, 改 善患者的生活质量, 其疗效优于中频电疗法结合运动疗法.
