Observation on the Curative Effect of Massage Manipulation Combined with Core Strength Training in Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

Abstract

In this prospective study, we used the random number table method to equally divide 141 patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) who met the inclusion criteria into 3 groups. One group who received massage manipulation therapy was recorded as the manipulation group (n = 47), one other group who received core strength training therapy was recorded as the training group (n = 47), and the other group who received massage manipulation combined with core strength training was recorded as the combination group (n = 47). All the patients were treated for 1w as the course of treatment, with the treatment conducted for 5 d/w for 4 w and 12 w of follow-up. The efficacies of the 3 groups were evaluated after treatment, and the visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores, and waist dynamic and static muscle endurance before and after treatment of the 3 groups were compared, and the long-term efficacies of the 3 groups were evaluated combined with the VAS scores at 6 w and 12 w after treatment. Our result was that, after treatment, the total effective rate of the combination group (95.74%) is significantly better than that of the manipulation group (80.85%) and the training group (78.72%) ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, the VAS and ODI scores of the 3 groups significantly decreased, and the waist dynamic endurance and static muscle endurance significantly increased, and the condition of the combination group was significantly improved compared with that of the manipulation group and the training group ( P < 0.05 ). At 6w and 12w after treatment, the VAS scores of the manipulation group and training group were increased compared with those at the end of treatment ( P < 0.05 ), there was no significant change in the combination group ( P < 0.05 ), and the VAS scores of the combination group at 6 w and 12 w after treatment were lower than those of the manipulation group and training group at the same time point ( P < 0.05 ). This suggests that the synergistic effect of massage manipulation combined with core strength training in the treatment of CNLBP can effectively alleviate patients’ pain and waist dysfunction, enhance dynamic and static muscle endurance, and have significant short-term and long-term effects, which are worthy of promotion.

Systematic Review to Inform a World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Practice Guideline: Benefits and Harms of Structured Exercise Programs for Chronic Primary Low Back Pain in Adults

“…The 68 RCTs included a total of 4195 participants (ranging from 14 to 313 participants per RCT). The trials were conducted in high to upper-middle income economies: Australia (3 RCTs) [ 22 , 72 , 90 ], Brazil (7 RCTs) [ 23 , 25 , 26 , 47 , 48 , 74 , 77 ], Canada (2 RCTs) [ 64 , 67 ], China (8 RCTs) [ 53 , 54 , 68 – 71 , 83 , 88 ], France (1 RCT) [ 78 ], Germany (3 RCTs) [ 28 , 49 , 50 ], Italy (1 RCT) [ 45 ], Japan (1 RCT) [ 24 ], Malaysia (1 RCT) [ 37 ], Netherlands (1 RCT) [ 29 ], South Korea (4 RCTs) [ 65 , 66 , 76 , 86 ], Thailand (1 RCT) [ 59 ], Turkey (1 RCT) [ 31 ], United Kingdom (1 RCT) [ 32 ], and the United States (2 RCTs) [ 33 , 46 ]; and low to lower-middle income economies: Egypt (2 RCTs) [ 37 , 52 ], India (5 RCTs) [ 21 , 51 , 55 , 79 , 87 ], Iran (18 RCTs) [ 27 , 29 , 40 , 42 – 44 , 56 – 58 , 62 , 63 , 72 , 75 , 81 , 81 , 83 , 84 , 89 ], Nigeria (2 RCTs) [ 59 , 91 ], and Pakistan (4 RCTs) [ 39 ...…”

Efficacy and safety of Yaobitong capsule for acute lumbar disc herniation: A protocol for a multi-center randomized controlled trial

“…[ 14 ] Recent animal studies have shown that Yaobitong capsule can inhibit the inflammatory response and neuropathy of herniated intervertebral disc. [ 10 ] However, there are few clinical studies on the treatment of lumbar process with lumbago, and there is a lack of clinical evidence.…”

“…[6][7][8] A large number of meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials showed that acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine, epidural injections and non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have a clear curative effect on LDH, which provides an optional treatment scheme for patients. [9][10][11][12][13] However, a network meta-analysis showed that the effect of oral Chinese medicine is lower than that of acupuncture and massage, but there is insufficient evidence to this conclusion for acute LDH. [14] Recent animal studies have shown that Yaobitong capsule can inhibit the inflammatory response and neuropathy of herniated intervertebral disc.…”
