Study Objective: Effect of Ultrasound and Exercise combined and Exercise alone in the Treatment
of Chronic back pain.
<p>Design: Pre & post test control group design.</p>
<p>Method and Measurements: 30 patients from Raj Nursing Home [Age group 25-65 yrs] who were
diagnosed with Low back pain, with onset >1-3 months (chronic) were randomly assigned to either
group A receiving US and Exercise combined or group B receiving Exercise alone. Treatment was
given for 10 session for the period of 4 week. Before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment pain
was assessed on VAS and MPQ.</p>
<p>Results: Subjects in-group A that received Ultrasound and exercise showed greater Improvement in
pain compared with the exercise group on 4th week compared with pre treatment. (p <0.050)</p>
<p>Conclusion: The result of study suggests that both Ultrasound and exercise improves the symptoms
of chronic back pain. Exercise alone improved the pain symptoms but was too small to reach
satisfactory outcome for patients. Based on these results Ultrasound and Exercise should be the
treatment of choice for chronic back pain rather than Exercise alone.</p>
