Abstract:
Background
Since lumbar discopathy is a common disease and various traditional and ttherapeutic exercise methods are effective in treating it, the purpose of this study was a comparison of the effectiveness of eight-week acupuncture and aquatic exercise on the amount of pain, motor range and quality of life in patients with lumbar discopathy.
Methods
The statistical sample in this study is comprised of 24 women who suffered from lumbar discopathy in Isfahan; they were divided into 2 groups of 12 people. After a specialist selected the subjects, the average score of pain, physical examination, physical evaluation of patients with low back pain and patient's quality of life were recorded by VAS, SLR test and quality of life questionnaire (SF36), respectively. The experimental group received a three-session aquatic exercise and acupuncture for 45-60 minutes for eight consecutive weeks. Then, to analyze the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, T-test and independent t-test were used.
Result
The results of this study showed that after eight weeks of acupuncture and aquatic exercise there was a significant effect on female patients’ pain, motor range and quality of life (P=0/00). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in acupuncture and aquatic exercise (P=0/12)
Conclusion
Acupuncture and aquatic exercise have a positive effect on reducing the amount of pain and improving the range of motion and quality of life in patients with lumbar discopathy. Therefore, individuals and patients suffering from lumbar pain should be advised to place acupuncture and exercise programs on the water in their daily programs to improve their pain, range of motion and quality of life.
