Brief summary (from the registry)
Objective This study aimed to compare the effects of connective tissue massage and classical massage on pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods The study included 30 participants diagnosed with chronic non-specific low back pain. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: classical massage (n=10), connective tissue massage (n=10), and control groups (n=10). The control group received standart physical therapy only. All interventions were administered over a period of 3 days per week for 4 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 15-20 minutes. All assessments were performed at baseline and at the end of 4 weeks. For all participants, the severity of pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, the level of impaired function was measured using the Functional Low Back Pain Scale, lumbar mobility was evaluated with the Modified Schober Test and Sit and Reach Test, physical disabilities were gauged using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and the quality of life was assessed using the Short Form-36 Quality of Life questionnaire.
