The aim of our study was to evaluate effectiveness of ultrasound treatment applied with exercise therapy in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Fifty-two patients, who were diagnosed according to modified New York criteria, were aged 25-60, and have spine pain, were randomly assigned to two groups. Ultrasound (US) and exercise therapy were applied to treatment group (27); placebo US treatment and exercise therapy were applied to control group (25). Patients were evaluated before treatment, at the end of treatment, and 4 weeks after the treatment. Daily and night pain, morning stiffness, patient global assessment (PGA), doctor global assessment (DGA), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) questionnaire, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and ASDAS C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as clinical parameters. In US group, all parameters showed significant improvements at 2 and 6 weeks, in comparison with the baseline. In placebo US group, significant improvement was obtained for all parameters (except tragus-to-wall distance and modified Schober test at 2 weeks and lumbar side flexion and modified Schober test at 6 weeks). Comparison of the groups showed significantly superior results of US group for parameters of BASMI (p < 0.05), tragus-wall distance (p < 0.05), PGA (p < 0.01), and DGA (p < 0.05) at 2 weeks as well as for the parameters of daily pain (p < 0.01), PGA (p < 0.05), DGA (p < 0.01), BASDAI (p < 0.05), ASDAS-CRP (p < 0.05), ASDAS-ESR (p < 0.01), lumbar side flexion (p < 0.01), the modified Schober test (p < 0.01), and ASQoL (p < 0.05) at 6 weeks. Our study showed that ultrasound treatment increases the effect of exercise in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

IntroductionSacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a common problem that affects women during and after pregnancy and restricts their daily activities. It can be treated with various physiotherapy interventions, including exercises, patient education, and pain relief modalities, such as laser therapy. A randomised controlled trial study conducted between May and September 2022 to determine the efficacy of low-level laser therapy combined with posture correction exercises on postpartum sacroiliac pain.MethodsSixty postpartum women complaining of SIJ pain, six weeks following vaginal delivery, their ages between 25 and 35 and their BMI not exceeding 30 kg/m2, participated in this study. They were equally and randomly assigned into three groups: A, B and C. Group A received low-level laser therapy, group B received posture correction exercises, and group C received combined low-level laser therapy and posture correction exercises. Pain level was assessed via the Visual Analogue Scale, and the pressure algometry was used to detect pain pressure threshold. Function disability was evaluated by the Oswestry Disability Index. All measurements were taken before and after 6 weeks of the intervention in all groups.ResultsMANOVA was used to detect the difference between treatments and time, and multiple pairwise comparisons with the Bonferroni correction were used to clarify within- and between-groups differences. The within-group comparison showed significant improvement in all variables within each group as p < 0.05. Between-groups post-treatment, there was a significant difference between groups A and B and groups B and C for all variables as p < 0.05, but there were no statistically significant difference between groups A and C for any variables (p > 0.05) except function, with p < 0.05.ConclusionsBased on the study results, adding low-level laser therapy to posture correction exercises in the treatment protocol of postpartum SIJ pain provides better pain relief and functional improvement than when each intervention is used separately.
