No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients with chronic low back pain may have altered pain processing, making them vulnerable to pain or disability. It can be measured with test like pressure pain threshold, temporal summation or conditioned pain modulation. Manual therapy has shown improve this pain processing variables in other conditions (like knee osteoarthritis or lateral elbow pain), although the quality of the evidence is low in terms of temporal summation and controversial in terms of conditioned pain modulation. There are not studies that had investigated the impact of manual therapy techniques on pain processing in patients with chronic low back pain.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low-back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Passive joint mobilization

Dosage: 5 sets of 2 minutes with 30 seconds of rest were applied, with a strong force (\>50% of maximum therapist strength), according to patient's irritability and severity.

OTHER

Mobilization with movement

Dosage: 3 sets of 10 repetitions were performed, with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets.
