Quality of Life in Patients with Lumbosacral Radicular Syndrome and Complete Rehabilitation Program (PRISUM PHSD/1/2022)

Worldwide, Lumbosacral Radicular Syndrome (L.R.S.) represents one of the most common lumbar spine problems, inducing disability, reduced quality of life, and working capability. We performed a prospective, double-blind, randomized study in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Filantropia Hospital, Craiova, and Techirghiol Balneal and Rehabilitation Sanatorium from June to October 2022. We analyzed the effects of ProHumano+ SpineDinamic (PHSD) on the severity reduction of radicular pain and improvement of quality of life in patients with L.R.S. over three months. A total of 247 patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 (151 patients) received 10 sessions of the rehabilitation program and PHSD (daily, three months), and Group 2 (96 patients) received ten sessions of the rehabilitation program and placebo (daily, three months). Conventional physical therapy (transcutaneous nerve stimulation, ultra-sound, and low-intensity laser treatment) and kinetic program represented the components of a rehabilitation program. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, U.S.A.), together with the XLSTAT add-on (Addinsoft SARL, Paris, France). All patients had a favorable evolution, but the difference was significantly statistic for G1 patients. These results concluded that daily PHSD for three months naturally affected clinical and functional status in L.R.S.
