• 1 other identifier: UQTR-2020-SMTdose

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to identify short-term predictors of positive responses to a spinal manipulation treatment. To do this, positive responses to treatment, characterized by improvement in pain score, functional capacity, as well as the global perceived change will be evaluated using single and multiple logistic regressions in which biomechanical variables, comfort, expectation will used as potential predictors.

Conditions

Non-specific Back Pain

Keywords

Back pain; Spinal manipulation; Cohort study

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Thoracic Back Pain (Numerical Analog Scale)

  assessed by a 0-10 points scale, higher score means altered, lower score means improved

  change from baseline to Day-7

• Functional Disability (Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale)

  assessed by 0-100 points questionary. Higher scores correlate to greater disability

  change from baseline to Day-7

• Global Perceived Change Scale

  assessed by a 11-point score scale: higher score means improved, lower score means altered

  at day-7

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Dosage

  during the intervention

• Expectation (for improvement of pain and disability)

  at baseline (pre-intervention)

• Socio-demographic factors

  at baseline(pre-intervention)

• Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

  at baseline(pre-intervention)

• Level of anxiety

  at baseline (pre-intervention)

Interventions

High velocity, low amplitude force manipulation
