Comparison of Cost and Cost- Effectiveness of a Face-to-Face Rehabilitation Program vs an Telemedicine Program on Disability, Pain, Fear of Movement, Quality of Life and Spinal Mobility in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Face-to-Face Rehabilitation program and Telemedicine program for Low Back Pain. Completed, enrolled 540 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Perform a cost-utility analysis in patients with chronic low back pain through electroanalgesia treatment and exercises administered by telemedicine program versus face-to-face program
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In each hospital, two trained therapists will carry out a face-to-face rehabilitation program consisting of electroanalgesia and an exercise program that follows the Mckenzie method. The physiotherapists place the electrodes in the patients, for this they use 5x9 cm electrodes, which they place at the bilateral paravertebral level, in the patients who present with radicular pain, the electrodes will be placed in the path of the affected nerve. The duration will be sufficient to carry out the Mckenzie protocol. Mckenzie exercises are designed to make changes in the internal periarticular components of the spine.
It consists in an e-Health rehabilitation program through a web platform performing electroanalgesia and an exercise program following the Mckenzie method. Patients will be instructed in the use of the TENS device using 5x9cm electrodes at the bilateral paravertebral level, the patients that present radicular pain, the electrodes will be placed in the path of the affected nerve. The realization of exercises will be through the application of an Mckezie protocol. The duration will be the same as that used to carry out the Mckenzie protocol. Mckenzie exercises are designed to make changes in the internal components periarticular of the spine.
