Some believe that the back pain they suffer does not respond to any medicine, and their doubts may be in its place, as a new study revealed that most non -surgical treatments for lower back pain are ineffective.
Researchers from the University of New South Wales in Australia and other universities in Brazil and Canada analyzed the results of a number of studies to find out which treatments will really heal patient pain, and the results of their analysis were published in the “BMJ Eviduence Based Medicine” magazine on March 18 and wrote about the Yurik Alrt website.
Many treatments and limited effectiveness
Treatments that have been analyzed on the study on drug treatments, such as NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, and muscle relaxants. Non -drug treatments such as exercise, massage, and manual therapy for spine orthodontics. The results showed that the effect of these treatments on relieving pain is slightly compared to the effect provided by the imaginary therapy.
Lower back pain can affect anyone regardless of his age or gender, and lower back pain is a feeling of pain that extends between the lower edge of the ribs to the buttocks. This pain may be severe as it occurs for a short period (less than 12 weeks), or a chick for a long time 12 weeks or more.
Lower back pain is one of the most common problems, and affects a large percentage of individuals around the world. 90% of these pain is classified as anonymous.
Recommended non -surgical treatments as a preliminary treatment, and with the increasing number of available therapeutic options it becomes difficult to know the most effective treatment. Therefore, the researchers examined research databases that study non -surgical treatments for people with unknown lower back pain, with the aim of integrating their results.
The study included an analysis of 301 data, which examined 56 different remedies.
Paracetamol is ineffective and sports may work in specific cases
According to the study, non -steroidal anti -inflammatory are the only effective treatments for acute back pain. While there are 5 effective treatments for chronic lower back pain, which are exercise, manual treatment for spine orthopedic, medical stickers, antidepressants, and TRPV 1 (TPV1).
The data analysis is the most prominent treatments that did not appear effectively in treating acute lower back pain, which are exercise, glucocorticoid injections, and paracetamol, and the analysis showed that antibiotics and topical analgesics (such as ladocaine) were not effective in treating chronic lower back pain, and this makes them inappropriate options.
There was not enough evidence to prove the effectiveness of 10 drug treatments and 10 non -drug treatments to treat severe back pain. There are also 22 non -drug remedies (such as acupuncture, massage, orthopedics, electrical stimulation of the skin), and 16 drug remedies (such as a mixture of antidepressants with paracetamol, supplementary medications, bisphosphones, and muscle relaxants) that have not been proven effective to treat chronic lower back pain.
The researchers pointed out that the effectiveness of most treatments remains unconfirmed because many of the available experiences included a few participants and showed incompatible results.
