Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate a structured physiotherapy treatment model in patients who qualify for lumbar disc surgery. DESIGN:A prospective cohort study. PATIENTS:Forty-one patients with lumbar disc herniation, diagnosed by clinical assessments and magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS:Patients followed a structured physiotherapy treatment model, including Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), together with graded trunk stabilization training. Study outcome measures were the Oswestry Disability Index, a visual analogue scale for leg and back pain, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the European Quality of Life in 5 Dimensions Questionnaires, the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, the Self-Efficacy Scale, work status, and patient satisfaction with treatment. Questionnaires were distributed before treatment and at 3-, 12- and 24-month follow-ups. RESULTS:The patients had already improved significantly (p < 0.001) 3 months after the structured physiotherapy treatment model in all assessments: disability, leg and back pain, kinesiophobia, health-related quality of life, depression and self-efficacy. The improvement could still be seen at the 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSION:This study recommends adopting the structured physiotherapy treatment model before considering surgery for patients with symptoms such as pain and disability due to lumbar disc herniation.
