Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (BMT) on low back pain through the evaluation of analogic visual scale and lumbar algometry, and lumbar disability assessed by the screening questionnaires for lumbar dysfunction Oswestry, Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire Start Back Screening Toll) The expected hypothesis is that BMT decreases pain and disability in individuals with low back pain.;To evaluate the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (BMT) on autonomic heart rate modulation by assessing heart rate variability. The expected hypothesis is that BMT improves autonomic modulation in individuals with low back pain.;To evaluate the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (BMT) on the temperature of the lumbar skin through the infrared thermography. The expected hypothesis is that BMT modifies the local temperature of the lower back in individuals with low back pain. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment (BMT) on the photon and electron flow (PEF) through the volunteer's body, through the evaluation of bioelectrography (BEG). The expected hypothesis is that BMT modifies body PEF in individuals with low back pain. | — |
