  • Protocol summary

    The primary aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of TENS on static postural control in patients with chronic low back pain. Twenty eight (4 men, 24 women) chronic chronic low back pain patients participate in this study. Then, patients by using block randomization allocate in intervention and control group. The inclusion criteria are localized back pain, lasting more than 6 months and least 3 of the 10 visual analog scale (VAS). The exclusion criteria are the history of sciatica or other radicular involvement and history of spinal surgery. All participants are recruited from referrals of local physiotherapy clinics in Shiraz. We performe low back TENS for both groups. Intervention group are positioned proned on a treatment bench; then, Low frequency electrical stimulation with the duration of 250 µs and 7 HZ frequency through surface electrodes placed at between spinus process L1 and L5bilaterally for 15 minutes at tolerance level. In control group, protocol are done like to intervention group but they receive sham electrical stimulation. postural control assess befoe, immediately and after of the TENS application.we expect that TENS improve postural control in low back pain patients.

    هدف این مطالعه بررسی تأثیر تنس روی کنترل وضعیتی استاتیک در بیماران مبتلا به کمردرد مزمن می باشد. در این مطالعه 28 نفر شرکت کردند که به روش تصادفی سازی به دو گروه مداخله و کنترل هر کدام 14 نفر تقسیم شدند و از لحاظ سن ، جنس و توده بدنی تطابق داده شدند. شرایط ورود به مطالعه در گروه کمردرد: افراد بین سنین 25_45 سال در صورتیکه حداقل 6ماه مبتلا به درد در ناحیه پایین کمر بوده باشند و دارای شدت درد بالای 3 بر اساس مقیاس عددی VAS باشند. همچنین افرادی که دارای سابقه درد سیاتیک یا درگیری رادیکولار و سابقه جراحی ستون فقرات باشند، از مطالعه خارج می شوند. همه بیماران از کلینیک های فیزیوتراپی در شهر شیراز انتخاب می شوند.پروتکل تنس برای دو گروه مداخله و کنترل انجام می شود که به شرح زیر می باشد. در گروه مداخله در حالیکه فردروی تخت در حالت دمر خوابیده است، سپس تحریکات الکتریکی فرکانس پایین ( تنس فرکانس پایین با فرکانس جریان 7 هرتز و مدت زمان عبور هرپالس 250 میکروثانیه) از طریق الکترود های سطحی بین L1 و L5 به صورت دوطرفه ، به مدت 15دقیقه وبا شدت در حد تحمل دریافت می کند .درگروه کنترل تمام مراحل بالا انجام می شود ولی تحریکات الکتریکی به صورت تحریک پلاسیبو گذاشته می شود. قبل بلافاصله و 24 ساعت بعد از انجام پرتکل تنس متغییرهای کنترل وضعیت ثبت می شوند.ما انتظار داریم تنس باعث بهبود کنترل وضعیت در افراد مبتلا به کمردرد شود.

Protocol summary

Study aim
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the possible effect of TENS on postural control in patients with chronic low back pain.
Design
The participants are assigned randomly to the intervention or the control groups with a block randomization method using excel software. Twenty eight participants (14 patients in each group) are enrolled in this randomized controlled trial study.
Settings and conduct
This study is done at the research center of the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and they are referred to a physiotherapy clinic in the hospitals of the University. The participants then are assigned randomly to the intervention or the control groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
In this study, twenty eight low back pain patients participate are included between 25 to 45 years old with at least 6 months low back pain in the low back area and pain intensity of more than 3 on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The participants with a history of sciatica or other radicular involvement, and spinal surgery are also excluded. All participants are recruited from referrals of local physiotherapy clinics in Shiraz. Then, patients by using block randomization allocate in intervention and control group.
Intervention groups
We perform low frequency TENS for both groups. Intervention group are positioned proned on a treatment bench; then, Low frequency electrical stimulation with the duration of 250 µs and 2 HZ frequency through surface electrodes placed at between spinus process L1 and L5bilaterally for 20 minutes at tolerance level. In control group, protocol are done like to intervention group but they receive placebo electrical stimulation. postural control assess befoe, immediately and 24 hours after of the TENS application.We expect that TENS improve postural control in low back pain patients.
Main outcome variables
Pain, Static and dynamic balance

General information

Reason for update
Since our study is prospective and the starting date of the sample entry was mistakenly entered on April 21, 2013, instead of February 8, 2014, we made the desired corrections.
