Abstract
Background and aim: Back pain or low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complication. About 50 to 80% of normal people experience low back pain during their lifetime, and about 80% of spinal problems occur in the lower back. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of manual therapy on quality of life in women with chronic non-specific back pain.
Methods: In this clinical trial study, 50 women between 30 and 55 years old with chronic non-specialized low back pain were randomly selected and divided into two experimental groups of manual therapy with mean age (38.16±7.67), and a control group with mean age (38±7.00). The control group was given only low back pain training program and the experimental group addition training program received manual treatment for 8 weeks and 1 session per week. The measured quality of life of the subjects was measured in two stages before eight weeks for pre-test and after eight weeks for post-test.
Results: The results showed that intervention was effective in improving quality of life, a statistically significant difference was observed between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: In general, the results of the present study showed that quality of life in women with chronic low back pain after eight weeks of manual consisting of one sessions of treatment during eight weeks and once a week improves.
