Observation on the Efficacy of Fasciotome Technology Combined with Italian Fascial Manipulation for Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Abstract

Objective To observe and study the efficacy of fascia knife technique combined with Italian fascia manipulation in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods From May 2022 to November 2022, 40 interns and students with non-specific low back pain in Guangdong Industrial Injury Rehabilitation Hospital were selected as the study subjects. Randomized controlled experiment was used to divided them into control group and observation group, with 20 students in each group. The control group was treated with Italian fascia manipulation alone, and the experimental group was treated with fascia knife technique. After 4 weeks of treatment, the long-term course of treatment was evaluated comprehensively, and the pain score and the degree of dysfunction before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results After 4 weeks of treatment, the effective rate of observation group was 95.00% higher than that of control group (90.00%), but there was no significant difference between groups (x²=3.14, P > 0.05). Before and after treatment, there were significant differences in PRI sensory score, PRI emotional score, PRI total score, VAS and PPI scores between the two groups, which showed a decreasing trend, and the decrease rate of observation group was greater than that of control group (t=4.90, 3.68, 4.69, 3.40, 3.39, P < 0.05). The dysfunction scores of the two groups were significantly different before and after treatment, and showed a downward trend, and the dysfunction scores of the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group (8.23±2.43) points (10.67±3.23) points (t=4.89, P < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of fascia knife technique and Italian fascia manipulation can achieve significant long-term results in patients with non-specific low back pain, alleviate pain symptoms and improve functional dysfunction.
