Brief Summary

Forty female patients with age ranging from 30-40 years old were suffering from low back pain due to visceral dysfunctions participated in this study. They were recruited from a private clinic. They were assigned into two groups equal in number; Group (A): included twenty patients who received osteopathic manipulative techniques, 1 session per week for 3 weeks, and Group (B): included twenty patients who received only analgesic drugs.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The visual analog scale (VAS)

  The patient determined the pain intensity on a 10 cm scale marked with points ranging from predetermined no pain and excruciating pain

  change from baseline to after 3 weeks

• The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

  (ODI) consists of 10 items on the degree of severity to which back (or leg) trouble has affected the ability to manage in everyday life.

  change from baseline to after 3 weeks

• Modified Schober's test (MST)

  the participant stood erect while the lumbosacral junction was marked as indicated by the dimples of Venus. For measuring the MST, we put a mark 5 cm below and 10 cm above the junction. The participant was asked to bend forward as far as possible and the stretched distance of these two points was measured as the MST value.
