Massage for low-back pain

Randomized Controlled Trial on Physical Therapy for TMJ Closed Lock

“…The present findings are in line with previous studies that compared a variety of treatment modalities for arthrogenous TMD: Significant improvement, but no between-group differences, were found over time (Minakuchi et al, 2004;Schiffman et al, 2007). In patients with masticatory muscle pain, Carlson et al (2001) did not find an additional effect of PT, similar to observations in other musculoskeletal pain conditions (Bronfort et al, 2004;Furlan et al, 2008).…”

Effectiveness of Ayurvedic Massage ( Sahacharadi Taila ) in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…However, standard massage and thermal therapies were previously evaluated by randomized controlled trials and are well established nonpharmacologic therapies for chronic low back pain. [17][18][19][20][21][22] In this context, the present Ayurveda-induced effect of 60% and 35% for reduction of pain intensity and of 54% and 28% for reduction of pain-related bothersomeness compares well.…”

Randomised controlled trial of Alexander technique lessons, exercise, and massage (ATEAM) for chronic and recurrent back pain

“…17 19 Benefit in the longer term is probably less, which is supported by previous comparison with a self care booklet, 35 although this trial did find benefit compared with acupuncture. Acupressure may possibly be more effective than the classic massage we used.…”
