Multicenter Investigation Weight Bath Traction in Chronic Lumbar Spine Pain: a Controlled, Randomiezd, Single Blind Follow-up Study
Multicenter Investigation Weight Bath Traction in Chronic Lumbar Spine Pain: a Controlled, Randomiezd, Single Blind Follow-up Study
It is typical of chronic low back pain that, after the first painful episode, is repeated at 44-78% of patients. For acute lumbar pain, approx. 10-15% of them are converted into chronic. Conservative treatments are few studies done in the traction therapy. A large number of multicenter trials did not evaluate the effectiveness of underwater traction therapy.
Goals are the followings:
