Efficacy of Integrating Cervical Posture Correction With Lumbar Stabilization Exercises for Mechanical Low Back Pain: A Randomized Blinded Clinical Trial

摘要: Although current lumbar stabilization exercises are beneficial for chronic mechanical low back pain, further research is recommended focusing on global spinal alignment normalization. This randomized, controlled, blinded trial was conducted to determine the effects of adding cervical posture correction lumber pain. Fifty adult patients (24 males) with pain and forward head received 12 weeks treatment either both programs (group A) or B). The primary outcome secondary outcomes included craniovertebral angle, Oswestry Disability Index, C7-S1 sagittal vertical axis, intervertebral movements. multivariate analysis variance indicated a significant group-by-time interaction (P = .001, partial η2 .609). Pain, disability, l2-l3 rotation were reduced in group A more than B .008, .025, .001). Craniovertebral angle increased when compared However, there no interactions other Within-group comparisons all except within control group. Adding management seemed have better application program only.
