Summary
It is typical of chronic low back pain that, after the first painful episode, is repeated at 44-78% of patients. For acute lumbar pain, approx. 10-15% of them are converted into chronic. Conservative treatments are few studies done in the traction therapy. A large number of multicenter trials did not evaluate the effectiveness of underwater traction therapy.
Detailed description
Goals are the followings: 1. Is the beneficial effect of a weight bath comparable to a non-treated control group with respect to clinical parameters? 2. How much does the quality of life change in an initial state and how much is it in comparison with the control group?
