“…There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the patient’s pain level, functional level, and flexibility before and after the treatment. FM provided significant pain relief after the treatment and these findings are consistent with this study where there is a significant improvement in pain and range after the FM treatment [ 30 ].…”

Background Neck pain is among the common musculoskeletal problem that hinders a person’s daily activities. Fascial tightness is a familiar cause of chronic neck pain that is often neglected and can further cause neck disability and a limited range of motion. Objective The purpose was to compare the effects of fascia therapy and fascial manipulation on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods A randomized clinical trial was conducted from February to August 2022 in the Riphah Rehabilitation Centre, Lahore, Pakistan. Fifty-two participants of both genders, aged 18–40 years with chronic neck pain of at least 3–6 months were included. Group A (n = 26) received fascia therapy along with a conventional physical therapy protocol of hot pack, strengthening and stretching, while group B (n = 26) received the fascial manipulation treatment with conventional physical therapy. All the participants were assessed at baseline and after 3 weeks (3 sessions per week). Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Goniometer (range of motions) were the outcome measures. SPSS 25 was used for the data analysis and normality of the data through the Shaphiro-Wilk test (p > 0.05), and parametric tests were applied. Results The mean age of group A was 24.82 ± 2.64 years, and group B was 24.17 ± 2.20 years. The independent t-test result showed no significant difference (p ≥ 0.05) in all parameters except in cervical extension and right-side bending (p < 0.05). At the same time, the pair-wise comparison showed significant results (p < 0.05) for all outcome measures in both groups. Conclusion DBM fascia therapy improved cervical extension and side bending (right) more than the fascial manipulation group.It is concluded that DBM fascia therapy shows more improvement as compared to other group. Trial registration number This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05272111 on 09/03/2022.

“…in recent years, electrotherapy, stretching, and strengthening exercises for abdominal and back muscles have been used in physiotherapy programs for chronic LBP and ddd [15]. Moreover, core stabilization exercises (CSEs) can provide benefits within the treatment of chronic LBP via alteration of vertebral portions and an increment in energetic steadiness and strength of lumbar muscles [16][17][18].…”

Introduction.Although core stabilization exercises (CSEs) prove to be effective in patients with various musculoskeletal disorders, their impact in lumbar disc degeneration (Ldd) has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to examine the effects of CSEs on lumbar lordotic angle (LLA), pain intensity, and functional disability in patients with Ldd. Methods. overall, 97 adult patients of both genders with Ldd were randomly assigned to the study or control group. The study group (n = 48) received CSEs in addition to traditional physical therapy; the control group (n = 49) received only traditional physical therapy, 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks. LLA, pain intensity, and functional disability were determined before and after the treatment program. LLA was measured with the Surgimap Spine software on marked lateral view X-ray films (omnidiagnost Eleva); pain intensity was evaluated with visual analogue scale (VAS); functional disability was assessed with oswestry disability index (odi). Results. There was no significant pre-treatment difference between the groups in LLA (p = 0.84), VAS (p = 0.49), or odi (p = 0.12). Significant post-treatment differences were observed in both groups in all variables (p = 0.001). However, there was a significant decrease in the mean post-treatment values of all variables (p = 0.001) in the study group compared with the control group. Conclusions. CSEs could provide an additional effect of improving LLA, pain intensity, and functional abilities in patients with Ldd.

“…Exercises target gaining muscle strength and endurance, in addition to flexibility of the back muscles and soft tissues [6]. Furthermore, fascial manipulation has proven to be effective in the treatment of chronic LBP, and it is important to restore the normal life activities [7].…”

Introduction. As one of the highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, low back pain incurs high medical care costs. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation has been used in treating chronic low back pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of multiple proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on endurance of the trunk musculature, spinal mobility, and impairment of function in cases of chronic low back pain. Methods. Patients in this study were randomly assigned into 3 groups. Group A received rhythmic stabilization training, group B received a combination of isotonic exercises, while group C received a combination of both rhythmic stabilization training and combination of isotonic exercises. Trunk endurance was evaluated with trunk flexion and trunk extension endurance tests, spinal mobility was assessed with a modified Schober test, and functional impairment was measured with oswestry disability index. Results. ANoVA showed significant differences (p < 0.05) among the groups after treatment in the measured outcomes. Tukey's honest significant difference post-hoc test revealed a highly statistically significant improvement in the measured outcomes of group C in comparison with the other groups in the post-intervention conditions. Conclusions. The application of the rhythmic stabilization training technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation followed by a combination of isotonic exercises was more effective than implementing either technique alone in the treatment of patients with chronic low back pain.
