Introduction

Spondylogenic lumbar pain is a common and disabling disorder in individuals and society. Therefore, this disorder to medical care is in second place in the cause of people with respiratory diseases later. Lumbar pain is a problem in our country and the world are common among the population in the

developed world, and is considered to be one of the reasons for limited movement. Electrotherapy, which is a noninvasive, non-pharmacological method involving transcutaneous electrical stimulation, is an additional alternative for low back pain management. The electrotherapy methods most used in clinical practice.

Goal

To evaluate the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with acupuncture combination in patients with chronic lumbar spondylitis.

Materials and Methods

The study was done in department of Rehabilitation at “Bayanzurh” hospital, conducted based on the material resources of the “New Medicine” university. Study design case control-clinical trial. With spondylogenic chronic low back pain patients mean age was 39.24±8.27years. Symptom time was 1.83±1.23year. Group A (n=30) used acupuncture and TENS, group B (n=30) used acupuncture, group C (n=30) control group. For pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), for quality-of-life Oswestry disability index Questionnaire (ODI), were used before and after the treatment. This study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of “New medicine” university.

Result

To respondents age group: in the 20-29 age group 17(18.8%), in the 30-39 age group 23 (25.6%), in the 40-50 age group 50(55.6%). More than 40-45 years of age with spondylogenic chronic back pain. There were women 57(63.33%) and men 33 (33.67%), and shows that women had more sick. 

Total respondents assessment visual analog scale (VAS) of pain before treatment 3 group <0.334 no statistical difference, after treatment was p <0.0001 is a statistical difference. The Oswestry disability index (ODI) has been recommended as a back pain- specific measure of disability by researchers in this field. The ODI is simple to read. Total respondents assessment Oswestry disability index (ODI) of patients before treatment 3 group p<0.066 no statistical difference, after treatment wasp<0.0001 is a statistical difference. The differences of pre- and post-treatment values of parameters were evaluated for each group. Significant improvements were detected for VAS, ODI group a post treatment. Conclusion. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) with in combination acupuncture treatment is effective on pain, function and quality of life in patients with spondylogenic chronic low back pain.

Key words: Low back pain, acupuncture, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
