“…On MRI imaging, the lumbar spine showed improvement. (Desmoulin G et al, 2007) Another study has revealed that the effect of sound waves on musculoskeletal is not only consequences in decline of pain and keeping alignment of spine but also comprises elevated key proteins for spinal well-being and providing a suitable environment for cells that promotes ligament repair (Alsalamah & Bartel, 2022). KKT is an effective way of treating low back pain.…”

Background: Low Back pain (LBP) is a primary source of years lived with bad health condition, with an expected 70–85 percentage of the people to experience LBP at some moments in their lives. It is typically defined as backache, muscle tightness above the inferior gluteal folds and below the costal border with or without radiating pain in leg. The most prevalent issue and a major contributor to morbidity in adults is low back pain (LBP). Acute LBP is pain that lasts less than 3 months, while chronic LBP is pain that lasts more than 3 months. Nearly two thirds of adults experience it at some point in their lives. LDH, or lumbar disc herniation, is one of the most frequent causes of LBP. Objective: This study was intended to relate the effects of low-level-laser therapy and quantum acoustic waves on low-back-pain (LBP). Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study conducted at KKT orthopedic spine center and laser pain management rehab clinic, Multan from February, 2023, to April, 2023. There were two groups in total. One group was provided with low-level-laser therapy along with routine physiotherapy and the other with quantum acoustic wave along with routine physiotherapy. Assessment on 6th and 12th session was taken and measurements of Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry low back pain questionnaire and range of motion with goniometry were recorded before and after the treatment. SPSS-27 was used to analyze the data. Results: There were a total of 48 patients. 24 patients were given to low level laser group and 24 patients to quantum acoustic waves group. The mean age of patients was 30-70, Severity of pain in quantum acoustic waves group decline considerably related to low-level-laser therapy group at the end of the treatment session (p-value=<0.01). Conclusion: Mutually low-level-laser therapy and quantum acoustic waves lessens severity of pain but quantum acoustic waves caused lessening of pain severity more than low-level-laser therapy whereas, both presented major effects on range of motion ROM.

“…No opposing effects associated to the treatment were practiced by the patient. (Alsalamah & Bartel, 2022) A study on Forty eight subjects conducted that includes 28 male and 20 female, were engaged. The ages of these subjects were between 18 and 77 and had a repeated history of fluctuating levels of lessening low-back-pain.…”

“…One example of an emerging treatment modality is the use of vibratory stimuli as a form of neuromodulation, which has shown promise in treating symptoms of Alzheimer’s [ 136 , 137 ], Parkinson’s [ 138 , 139 ] and depressive disorders [ 140 , 141 ]. Vibratory stimuli, especially those focused on stimulating the spine, have also emerged as a promising new treatment modality when applied to treat cLBP [ 142 , 143 , 144 , 145 ]. These waveforms have also demonstrated changes in proteoglycan expression within the intervertebral discs, showing a possible mechanistic influence on spinal structures [ 146 , 147 ].…”

Mechanisms behind the Development of Chronic Low Back Pain and Its Neurodegenerative Features

Chronic back pain is complex and there is no guarantee that treating its potential causes will cause the pain to go away. Therefore, rather than attempting to “cure” chronic pain, many clinicians, caregivers and researchers aim to help educate patients about their pain and try to help them live a better quality of life despite their condition. A systematic review has demonstrated that patient education has a large effect on pain and pain related disability when done in conjunction with treatments. Therefore, understanding and updating our current state of knowledge of the pathophysiology of back pain is important in educating patients as well as guiding the development of novel therapeutics. Growing evidence suggests that back pain causes morphological changes in the central nervous system and that these changes have significant overlap with those seen in common neurodegenerative disorders. These similarities in mechanisms may explain the associations between chronic low back pain and cognitive decline and brain fog. The neurodegenerative underpinnings of chronic low back pain demonstrate a new layer of understanding for this condition, which may help inspire new strategies in pain education and management, as well as potentially improve current treatment.

This paper presents a case of a 35-year-old female patient diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type I and treated over a two-month period with a novel low-frequency sound-transduced focal pulsed stimulus. The patient received 21 treatments consisting of focally applied sound sweeps in the 15–100 Hz range. Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale for pain, five physical assessment parameters, medication, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. A follow-up was conducted at six months. The results show that the patient’s low-back pain level was substantially reduced after treatment and after six months. CRPS-related peripheral pain was strongly reduced but had some rebound after six months. The low-frequency sound-transduced focal pulsed stimulus shows potential as a non-invasive treatment for CRPS and deserves controlled clinical trials.
