Summary

When the literature is examined, there are studies examining the relationship between low back pain and anxiety depression, quality of life and LDH in patients with lumbar disc herniation. There are many studies on the clinical use of manual therapy methods in LDH. Most of these studies examine the effect of manual therapy on pain and functional level. However, there are hardly any studies examining the effect of manual therapy on quality of life and psychological factors in LDH patients. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of mobilization, which is a manual therapy application, on psychological factors (kinesiophobia, pain catastrophic thought, anxiety and depression) and quality of life in LDH patients.

Detailed description

There are various treatment options that can be applied to patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). These are basically divided into 2 categories: surgical and conservative treatment. Conservative treatment methods in the treatment of LDH aim to prevent the disease from transitioning to interventional methods and / or surgical treatment and to improve the complaints that negatively affect the quality of life. Conservative treatment; It includes informing the patient, bed rest, drug treatments, exercise, thermotherapy, electrotherapy, traction, orthoses, back school and manual therapy applications. Manual therapy; It is used to reduce pain, provide joint and tissue mobility, inhibit sympathetic reflex activity, normalize muscle tone and dissolve adhesions. Manual therapy is the manual treatment of the spine with two different applications such as manipulation and mobilization. The clinical effects of manual therapy in LDH patients were examined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of manual therapy on psychological factors and quality of life in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
