Does cognitive functional therapy or neurofeedback training improve pain, kinesiophobia, disability, and gait kinetics in females with chronic non-specific low back pain?
Cognitive functional therapy is more effective than neurofeedback training at improving vertical ground reaction force parameters during gait in females with chronic non-specific low back pain.
p-value: p=< 0.05
PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: Walking disorders are a significant issue for patients with low back pain. The aim of clinical trials is to compare the effects of cognitive functional therapy (CFT) and neurofeedback training (NFBT) on gait kinetics in chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty females with chronic non-specific low back pain were recruitment for clinical trials. They were randomly divided into experimental and one control groups (Each group 20 patients). The experimental group received the relevant interventions for eight weeks. The primary outcome was pain, kinesiophobia and disability. The secondary outcome was vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) parameters. Two-Way Repeated Measures ANOVA statistical method was used for data analysis. RESULTS: < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: cognitive functional therapy intervention had a greater effect on the vertical ground reaction force parameters. The reason for the greater effect of cognitive functional therapy intervention on vertical ground reaction force parameters can be partially explained due to the multimodal therapy used through cognitive exercises and motor control.
Yalfani et al. (Wed,) conducted a rct in chronic non-specific low back pain (n=60). Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) and neurofeedback training (NFBT) vs. Control group was evaluated on Pain, kinesiophobia and disability (p=< 0.05). Cognitive functional therapy had a greater effect on vertical ground reaction force parameters in females with chronic non-specific low back pain (P<0.05).
