Title

To compare the effects of ultra reiz current & laser therapy along with Pilates in the management of chronic mechanical low back pain.

Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of ultra reiz current & laser therapy along with Pilates in the management of chronic mechanical low back pain. Background : Low back pain (LBP) is the fifth most common reason for physician visits, which affects nearly 60-80% of people throughout their lifetime .The lifetime prevalence of low back pain is reported to be as high as 84%, and the prevalence of chronic low back pain is about 23%, with 11-12% of the population being disabled by low back pain. All age groups can be affected by non-specific low back pain but the impact on quality of life is lower in adolescents than in adults. The back (lumbar) muscles play along with the abdominal, the glutea and the leg muscles an important role in the etiology of low back pain. Overweight/obese is a strong predictor and is often seen by non specific-low back pain. Ultra reiz current show improvement in relieving pain and functional ability. Treatment with low-intensity 1.06μm laser irradiation produced a moderate reduction in pain and improvement in function in patients with musculoskeletal low back pain. Pilates method that emphasizes neutral alignment, core or trunk stability and peripheral mobility. Methodology: A total of 30 subjects with 20-40 years of age with 12 weeks or longer history of chronic mechanical low back pain as per inclusion criteria randomized in two groups. The Group A-ultra reiz current and pilates exercises, the Group B- laser and Pilates exercises. Duration of session- 6 weeks no. of sessions 3 sessions per week. The outcome measures were assessed in terms of MOSWDQ and VAS pre and post intervention. Technique: pre and post MOSWDQ and VAS are a subjective scoring method for recording the degree of pain. The 30 subjects with non specific low back pain included in the study were randomly assigned in 2 groups following an equivalent pre test /post test design. For 6 weeks the both groups received treatment 3 sessions per week for 15 min. After all the interventions were completed MOSWDQ and VAS were measured again. Group A - All the subjects were taught modified Pilates exercise. Ultra Reiz current was given to all the subjects of group A for 15 minutes along with frequency of 143 Hz.(3 days/week) for 6 weeks. Group B - Laser therapy was given to all subject of group B (3 day/ week) for 6 weeks with wave length- 808 nm, Surface Density of Radiation- Continuos, Wave form- Scanning, Dose - 12 J/cm2 on surface of 100 cm2 [10x10 cm], All the subjects were taught modified Pilates exercise. Result: The collected data were statistically analyzed using unpaired t-test at the level of significance. Results shows that there were significant improvement in pain and functional disability in both the groups but on inter comparisons group A showed more improvement as compared to group B. Conclusion: On the basis of results obtained in the present study showed that it concluded that both group A and B is positively help in reduction of pain & functional disability in VAS and MOSWDQ. Both treatment groups demonstrated few significant effects. Thus both techniques are effective but ultra reiz current along with Pilates is more effective than laser along with Pilates in chronic mechanical low back pain. Therefore, ultra reiz current along with Pilates may be included in the treatment of non specific low back pain condition for better result.
