Summary

The investigators propose to carry out a study evaluating the effectiveness of the MDT method (mechanical diagnosis and therapy) in the subacute phase of common low back pain. Few studies have specifically evaluated the effectiveness of the MDT method in the subacute phase, a phase that appears to be crucial before the chronicization of low back pain. The main objective of this study will be to evaluate the pain of patients managed by the MDT method. The analysis of the main criterion (Visual Analog Scale) will be done using a type individual clinical trial specific: the Single Case Experimental Design or SCED in lines of multiple bases. This type of study makes it possible to carry out a comparative test on a single subject acting as its own witness in order to obtain an acceptable level of evidence response for that particular patient.
