Abstract

Background: Locally applied vibration has been recently proposed as a treatment for pain relief. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of specific vibration therapy using the Redcord Stimula device on reduction of pain in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: The study included 14 subjects aged 16-59 years. Pain was assessed at the baseline and after the therapy using the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire as well as with Oswestry Disability Index, pressure pain thresholds were recorded by a mechanical algometer. All subjects received 8 therapy sessions, each session consisting of 7 proprioceptive exercises adapted for use in the Redcord suspension system with the Redcord Stimula device. Results: After completing the therapy, a statistically significant reduction in the pain score was recorded in both questionnaires. The average values decreased by 8.8% (p = .001) in the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire and by 7.6% (p = .001) in the Oswestry Disability Index. Pain thresholds measured by an algometer showed statistically significant increase in 3 of 5 measured sites. Conclusions: The results of the study suggest that locally applied vibration may be a viable option for treatment of chronic pain.

局部应用振动对慢性腰痛患者疼痛减轻的影响:一项初步研究
背景:局部应用振动最近被提出作为一种治疗疼痛缓解。目的:本研究的目的是评估特定振动疗法使用的记录刺激装置对减轻慢性腰痛患者疼痛的效果。方法:研究对象14例,年龄16 ~ 59岁。在基线和治疗后使用短格式McGill疼痛问卷以及Oswestry残疾指数评估疼痛,用机械疼痛计记录压力疼痛阈值。所有受试者接受8个疗程的治疗,每个疗程包括7个本体感觉练习,适用于Redcord悬挂系统和Redcord刺激装置。结果:完成治疗后,两份问卷均记录疼痛评分有统计学意义的降低。短形式McGill疼痛问卷的平均值下降了8.8% (p = 0.001), Oswestry残疾指数的平均值下降了7.6% (p = 0.001)。疼痛阈值测量的algometer显示统计学显著增加3个5个测量部位。结论:本研究结果提示局部施加振动可能是治疗慢性疼痛的可行选择。
