This study aims to investigate the impact of adding visceral osteopathic manual therapy techniques to conservative physical therapy on the lives of individuals with lumbar disc herniation.
Chronic lumbar disc herniation is a very common problem. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of visceral manual therapy in addition to classical physical therapy applications used in the treatment of chronic lumbar disc herniation problems. For this purpose, 40 patients diagnosed with chronic lumbar disc herniation who applied to the clinic will be divided into 2 groups, with 20 participants in each group. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups using a randomization method: Classical Treatment Group (n=20) and Classical Treatment + Visceral Osteopathic Manual Therapy (VOMT) Group (n=20). Sessions will be administered by the same physiotherapist, with a session duration of 30 minutes, every other day, for a total of 5 sessions.

| Visual Analog Scale | The VAS (Variable Rate of Pain) is used to subjectively assess pain intensity, typically expressed on a scale of 0 to 10. 0 indicates the absence of pain, while 10 represents the most severe pain. This scale helps patients visually understand and express the intensity of their pain. A higher numerical value indicates a higher level of pain, while a lower numerical value suggests a more positive outcome for the patient. | The first assessment was conducted before the first session, a total of 5 sessions were administered with one day skipped, and the second assessment was conducted after the fifth session. |
| Quebec Functional Scale of Lower Back Pain | It is a scale used to assess the severity, impact, and functional capacity of lower back pain. It is based on patient reports and evaluates daily living activities, mobility, and quality of life. The minimum score is 20, and the maximum score is 100. Higher scores are associated with a higher percentage of disability. | The first assessment was conducted before the first session, a total of 5 sessions were administered with one day skipped, and the second assessment was conducted after the fifth session. |
