ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study is to investigate the effect of lumbar stabilization exercise with deep and slow breathing on central sensitization in patients with non-specific chronic back pain. METHODS: This study was a randomized controlled trial design. The subjects were randomly assigned to 9 lumbar stabilization exercise with deep and slow breathing (LSEWB) group and 9 lumbar stabilization exercise(LSE) group. Both groups performed exercise twice a week for 8 weeks. Evaluation was conducted before, 4 weeks after, and 8 weeks after exercise. Central sensitization inventory for Korean, monofilament, and conditioned pain modulation were used to evaluate central sensitization. Wilcoxon's signed rank test was used to compare the differences before and after exercise between the two groups, and Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the means of the two groups. Repeated measures of ANOVA was performed to analyze the interaction effect between treatment period and exercise method. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between groups in all tests excepts in the Central sensitization inventory for Korean score that reflects psychosocial factor within the group(p < .05) . There were no significant differences were found between groups(p > .05) in all tests. Also, there were no significant difference in the interaction effect of treatment period and group (p > .05). CONCLUSION: We suggest that LSEWB as well as LSE were useful exercise for the patient with specific low back pain in central sensitization. Also, we suggest that continuous research on effective exercise methods to improve each central sensitivity test in patients with back pain is needed.
