Summary

The purpose of the study was to compare and evaluate the effects of spinal manipulation in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain by gender.

Detailed description

Sixty-two participants with a diagnosis of mechanical low back pain participated in the research. 62 individuals were split into two groups based on gender. These were divided into male (n=31) and female (n=31) groups. For four weeks, spinal manipulation was applied twice a week to both groups. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Short Form (WHOQOL-Bref) was used to evaluate quality of life; the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and McGill Pain Questionnaire were used to evaluate sleep quality; Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain; Oswetry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate pain-related disability; and a scale was used to evaluate the treatment quality. Range of motion in the hips and lumbar region was measured with a goniometer.

Conditions

• Mechanical Low Back Pain
• Chronic Pain
• Gender
• Neuromuscular Subluxation of Joint

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Spinal Manipulation	The patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position by the therapist. The foot was placed on the popliteal fossa of the lower leg while the upper knee was flexed. Once the patient was in this position, the therapist performed high velocity and low amplitude thrusts (HVLA; high velocity - low amplitude) on the vertebra with dysfunction (Fagundes Loss et al., 2020).
