Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify the influence of specific osteopathic manipulative treatment for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. It will be verified by means of the visual analogue pain scale and by digital algometry using a MED.DOR® pressure algometer, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between the groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80 %. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify the influence of specific osteopathic manipulative treatment on the functional disability of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. It will be verified through the Roland Morris questionnaire, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between the groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%;To quantify lower limb muscle strength in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain undergoing specific osteopathic manipulative treatment. It will be verified by digital manual dynamometry using the DYNAMOP® dynamometer, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%. ;To quantify vertebral and posterior chain range of motion in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain undergoing specific osteopathic manipulative treatment. It will be verified by measuring the distance finger on the ground using a tape measure to measure the movement of trunk flexion; and measured by a Sanny® brand gravitational pendulum fleximeter to assess trunk flexion, extension and inclination movements, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between the groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%. ;To assess the psychosocial risk of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain undergoing specific osteopathic manipulative treatment using the Start Back questionnaire, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between the groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%.;To evaluate the global effect perceived in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain undergoing specific osteopathic manipulative treatment using the Global Perceived Effect Scale, to find an average difference of 20% in the variable between the groups with an alpha of 0.05 and a power of 80%. | — |
