No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study was to compare the effects of Mulligan SNAG added to conventional physiotherapy with conventional physiotherapy alone and sham SNAG on pain, function, proprioception, and functional performance in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Conditions

  • Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain
  • Pain
  • Manuel Therapy
  • Physical Therapy

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherap

Participants in this arm received a standardized conventional physiotherapy program consisting of electrotherapy, thermal modalities, stretching exercises, and core stabilization exercises. The program was administered three times per week for six weeks.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy + Mulligan SNAG

Participants in this arm received the same conventional physiotherapy program as the control group, combined with Mulligan Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide (SNAG) techniques applied to the lumbar spine. SNAG techniques were performed by a physiotherapist during active pain-free movements, three times per week for six weeks.

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy + Sham SNAG

Participants in this arm received the standardized conventional physiotherapy program combined with sham SNAG applications. The sham procedure mimicked the positioning and therapist-patient interaction of the SNAG technique but without the application of therapeutic glide force. Interventions were administered three times per week for six weeks.
