ABSTRACT
Chronic low back pain has become a common problem in industrialized countries. About 61%-83% of adults within younger age groups and 53%-75% in older groups experience low back pain during their lifetime.
Questionnaires of 19 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation treated with spinal decompression treatment protocol were reviewed - Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Oswestry low back pain questionnaire (ODI) as a measure of depression severity, pain perception and disability, respectively.
Significant improvement (P<0.05) of all parameters was reported after 6 treatment sessions. PHQ-9 score improved by 66.44%, VAS by 61.15% and ODI by 66.42%. Significant large positive linear relationships between depression severity and pain and between depression severity and disability were noted.
Non-invasive spinal decompression device proved to be an effective tool in treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation experiencing psychiatric symptoms of various extent in terms of disability, pain and depressive symptoms.
