Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition affecting a significant portion of the global population, often leading to reduced productivity and quality of life. It is broadly categorized into specific LBP, caused by identifiable pathophysiological mechanisms, and non-specific LBP, which lacks a clear origin and accounts for about 90% of cases. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound therapy in reducing pain and improving functional status among patients with non-specific LBP. A literature review was conducted, analyzing studies from 2013 to 2023 that applied ultrasound therapy to LBP patients. The primary outcomes were pain reduction and functional improvement, measured using the Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The findings suggest that ultrasound therapy effectively alleviates pain and enhances functional status in LBP patients. The thermal and mechanical effects of ultrasound, such as increased tissue temperature, enhanced blood flow, reduced muscle spasms, and decreased pain receptor sensitivity, contribute to pain relief and functional recovery. Significant pain reduction was observed in the experimental groups compared to control groups, with consistent results across different studies. In conclusion, ultrasound therapy is a beneficial non-pharmacological intervention for managing non-specific LBP, offering significant improvements in pain relief and functional outcomes. Further research is recommended to optimize treatment protocols and confirm long-term benefits.

Abstract

A common problem faced by adolescents during menstruation is primary dysmenorrhea. Symptoms include pain in the lower abdomen that can radiate to the back, waist, and thighs and interfere with activities. There is an effective treatment method to reduce pain intensity and reduce anxiety levels, namely by giving Slow Stroke Back Massage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Slow Stroke Back massage on dysmenorrhea intensity. The research method used by the author is a literature review. This research is based on a literature review using a PICO search in several databases such as Google Scholar, Pubmed, and ResearchGate. 5 journals meet the criteria and get reports that giving Slow Stroke back massage which is done every day with a duration of 20 minutes if the intensity still occurs. After undergoing the intervention, a significance value with a p-value <0.05 was obtained. It can be concluded that it shows significant results in reducing pain intensity. The implications of this study may provide guidelines for health practitioners, especially massage therapists or reproductive health professionals, in integrating SSBMs as part of the care of patients with dysmenorrhea. It can improve understanding and acceptance of nonpharmacological therapies and may form the basis for continued research in the field of nonpharmacological therapies for dysmenorrhea.
