Uskudar University50 enrolled

Overview

The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of vibratory massage therapy on individuals with non-specific low back pain.

This study will be conducted using a randomized controlled design. Volunteers between the ages of 18-65 with non-specific low back pain will be included in the study. Inclusion criteria are that participants do not have structural pathologies and agree to participate in the study voluntarily. Exclusion criteria include spinal deformities and exercise intolerance. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Individuals in the first group will receive vibratory massage therapy, while the second group will be evaluated with standard treatment methods as a control. Both groups will receive treatment 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Participants' quality of life, pain levels, range of motion, and muscle activity will be evaluated before and after treatment. Data will be collected using tools such as SF-36, Oswestry Low Back Pain Index, and VAS (Visual Analog Scale).

Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

The scale is a safe and consistent questionnaire that evaluates the amount of sleep, sleep quality, presence and severity of sleep disorders in individuals in the last month. There are seven components in Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. These components are subjective sleep quality (component 1), sleep latency (component 2), sleep duration (component 3), habitual sleep efficiency (component 4), sleep disturbance (component 5), sleep medication use (component 6) and daytime dysfunction. (component 7). The evaluation score of each item is between 0-3. The total score obtained varies between 0-21. The higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.

Time frame: 14 weeks

Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

It was developed to measure the functionality of individuals. The scale determines functional disability for activities such as sitting, walking, personal care, lifting, social life, travel, and sleep. There are 10 questions in this scale. Each question has 6 options. Participants are asked to choose the definition that best describes their situation from these options. A score of 0-5 is assigned for each of the sentences, and the highest possible score is 50 points. It is evaluated as mild between 1 and 10 points, moderate between 11 and 30 points, and severe between 31 and 50 points.
