Summary

Patient education is another treatment method that has recently begun to be used in patients with chronic back pain. In chronic lower back pain, factors such as the cause of the pain, negative factors that may contribute to the discomfort and exacerbate the symptoms, how to manage lower back pain, ways to prevent pain, exercises and proper postures to reduce pain, and harmful movements and positions to avoid in daily life can be included in patient education for chronic lower back pain. It has been reported that patient education in patients with chronic lower back pain can have positive effects on treatment outcomes by reducing pain, disability, and fear of movement.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Conservative treatment

Conventional physiotherapy treatments will be administered to patients in both groups three days a week for six weeks. This programme will include the following treatments: electrotherapy modalities for pain relief (TENS current application), moist heat application, flexibility and strengthening exercises to stretch and strengthen the back and spinal muscles, and massage and manual therapy applications to relax the back muscles and reduce pain. First, TENS current will be applied for 15 minutes using an electrical stimulation device due to its pain-relieving properties. Then, moist heat application will be performed for 15 minutes. Following this, flexibility and strengthening exercises aimed at stretching and strengthening the lower back and back muscles will be performed under the supervision of a physical therapist for approximately 20 minutes.

OTHER

Patient Education

Patient education will be provided immediately after conventional physiotherapy applications in each session. Patients will be asked to pay attention to and comply with the recommendations/issues covered in this education. Comprehensive patient education includes the following: the cause of chronic back pain, negative factors that may cause discomfort and exacerbate symptoms, how to cope with back pain, ways to prevent pain, exercises and proper postures to reduce pain, and harmful movements and positions to avoid in daily life.
