Ultrasound in treatment of back pain resulting from prolapsed intervertebral disc
Arch Phys Med Rehabil.
1983 Feb.
Abstract
The efficacy of ultrasound therapy in the management of back pain resulting from rupture of the intervertebral disc was evaluated in 3 groups: treatment, placebo, and control. Range of motion of total flexion and extension, total side flexion and total rotation of the lumbar spine, and subjective assessment of pain were used as criteria to determine the efficacy of treatment. Group comparisons showed statistical significance in favor of the treatment group (p 0.01), leading to the conclusion that ultrasound therapy is significantly effective in the treatment of back pain resulting from prolapse of the lumbar intervertebral disc.
