Worldwide, Lumbosacral Radicular Syndrome (L.R.S.) represents one of the most common lumbar spine problems, inducing disability, reduced quality of life, and working capability. We performed a prospective, double-blind, randomized study in the Departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Filantropia Hospital, Craiova, and Techirghiol Balneal and Rehabilitation Sanatorium from June to October 2022. We analyzed the effects of ProHumano+ SpineDinamic (PHSD) on the severity reduction of radicular pain and improvement of quality of life in patients with L.R.S. over three months. A total of 247 patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 (151 patients) received 10 sessions of the rehabilitation program and PHSD (daily, three months), and Group 2 (96 patients) received ten sessions of the rehabilitation program and placebo (daily, three months). Conventional physical therapy (transcutaneous nerve stimulation, ultra-sound, and low-intensity laser treatment) and kinetic program represented the components of a rehabilitation program. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA, U.S.A.), together with the XLSTAT add-on (Addinsoft SARL, Paris, France). All patients had a favorable evolution, but the difference was significantly statistic for G1 patients. These results concluded that daily PHSD for three months naturally affected clinical and functional status in L.R.S.

Objective: Lumbar discopathy is a common problem that affects musculoskeletal system. Many treatment modalities are in use for patients with lumbar discopathy. Balance exercises could be important for the lumbar discopathy due to the affected musculoskeletal system. This study was planned to investigate the effect of balance exercises on postural control and quality of life for lumbar discopathy.Method: A total of 81 patients were divided into two as the intervention and the control groups. Therapeutic ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hotpack and therapeutic exercises were applied to all patients 5 times a week during thirty sessions. Additionally, the intervention group received balance exercises. Pain (Visual Analog Scale), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), quality of life (Short Form-36) and postural control (Libra®) have been evaluated by same physiotherapist before and after the treatment.Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the groups comparing pain, disability and postural control parameters (p<0.05). In the between group comparisons of the mean changes of the 'Quality of Life' assessment parameters, no significant differences were obtained between the intervention and control groups (p>0.05), except the 'physical role' parameter in favor of the control group (p=0.04). Conclusion:This study demonstrated that physiotherapy modalities improve pain, disabiliy, quality of life and postural control parameters in patients with lumbar discopathy but adding classic balance exercises in physiotherapy treatment, do not have a remarkable effect in patients with lumbar discopathy.
