“…Comparable to anti‐inflammatory medications, massage was found to be beneficial for chronic low back pain in a published study. 18 This is consistent with the observed ameliorations in symptoms of spinal disease as documented in the Shujing Tongdu study. 19 Furthermore, research indicated that massage can effectively alleviate pain and disability.…”

A randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted from 2022 to 2023 at a hospital specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai. A total of 564 participants were allocated into control and intervention groups in order to determine the effectiveness of Shujing Tongdu massage on patients with chronic lesions or spinal disorders. No significant differences were observed in baseline characteristics between the groups; age, gender and condition type were all distributed in a comparable manner. Following the implementation of Shujing Tongdu massage therapy twice weekly for the duration of 12 weeks, intervention group exhibited noteworthy enhancements. Significantly, rate of lesion healing achieved in the intervention group increased by 30%, while it merely improved by 10% in the control group. The intervention group exhibited decrease in pain intensity from 6.5 to 4.2, whereas control group demonstrated comparatively smaller reduction from 6.7 to 6.0. Range of motion in the intervention group increased substantially from 45 to 60 degrees, whereas it increased from 44 to 46 degrees in the control group. In the intervention group, Quality of Life scores increased from 50 to 75, exceeding the increase of 58 in the control group. There was significant rise in the Mental Well‐being Index for intervention group, from 60 to 80, in contrast to rise of 64 from 62 in the control group. Statistically significant outcomes were determined, establishing the massage therapy's efficacy. Mild discomfort and muscle soreness were the most frequent adverse effects in the intervention group, whereas vertigo was more prevalent in the control group. Based on the findings of this research, Shujing Tongdu massage therapy effectively promoted wound healing and mitigated symptoms associated with spinal disorders, indicating its potential as the supplementary therapeutic modality in clinical environments.

“…Research conducted by [19], proved that there was an improvement in the level of pain and functional ability of LBP patients after receiving slow stroke back massage as measured using ODI. Research conducted by [20]; [21], slow stroke back massage with slow strokes provides a warm sensation by causing vasodilation in local blood vessels. Increased blood circulation due to vasodilation of blood vessels in the rubbed area so that cell activity increases and will reduce pain due to reduced muscle spasm.…”

Low back pain (LBP) is a condition of discomfort or acute pain in the fifth and sacral lumbar region (L5-S1). The purpose of this study was to prove the application of the intervention of adding deep cross-friction massage is better than slow stroke back massage after McKenzie exercise to improve functional ability and work productivity in stone crushers with non-specific LBP. In this study, researchers used a pretest-posttest control group design. With the number of non-specific samples of LBP in the village of Awang Bangkal Barat 12 people. The results showed that there were significant differences based on the paired-sample t-test parametric statistical test with p-value 0.00 <0.05 before and after in the treatment group and the control group based on the average ODI score and productivity. The conclusion of this study is that the addition of deep cross-friction massage is better than slow stroke back massage after McKenzie exercise to improve functional ability and work productivity of stone crushers with non-specific LBP.

Non-Opioid Perioperative Pain Strategies for the Clinician: A Narrative Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Alternative and non-opioid options for pain management are necessary in perioperative patient care. Opioids are no longer touted as cure-all medications, and furthermore, there have been tremendous advances in alternative therapies such as in interventional pain, physical therapy, exercise, and nutritional counseling that have proven benefits to combat pain. The center for disease control now strongly recommends the use of multimodal analgesia and multidisciplinary approaches based on the individual needs of patients: personalized medicine. In this manuscript, the specifics of non-opioid pharmacological and non-pharmacological analgesic approaches will be discussed as well as their possible indications and uses to reduce the need for excessive use of opioids for adequate pain control.
