Combination treatment of physical modalities in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain syndromes: a prospective-controlled study
2010
Overview
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of combitions of several physical therapies in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain syndromes by a prospective, controlled study. Forty patients (5 men and 35 women, 18-80 years) with musculoskeletal pain syndrome were included. Thirty patients were assigned to the intervention group and 10 patients to the control group. The intervention group received a combition of physical therapies according to the clinical needs (electrotherapy, fango packs, mud packs, ultrasound, massage, exercise therapy). Treatment consisted of 10 sessions. The control group did not receive any physical therapy in the waiting period. The intervention group was examined at the beginning and the end of the treatment period. The control group was evaluated at the beginning and the end of the waiting period (before their physical therapy treatment started). Main outcome measurements were: Visual alogue scale for pain (VAS); Timed Get up and Go Test (TUG); Functiol Reach Test (FRT). In addition bodily, emotiol and social functioning was accessed by selected ICF-Items and items of the SF-36 health survey (SF-36). The main outcome measures showed significant improvement in the intervention group compared to the control group. Furthermore, ICF- and SF-36-Items also improved. In conclusion significant pain relief and improvement of function was achieved by a combition treatment of physical therapies in patients with musculoskeletal pain syndromes.
