Abstract:

Background and aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of osteopathic treatment (OT) on balance performance in cases of low back pain in a population suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: The sample consisted of 21 subjects with PD, with a mean age of 69.8±5.95 years. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups by gender to ensure homogeneity: a control group (NT) and a group that received osteopathic treatment (T). The independent variable was the group, and the dependent variables measured included balance (MiniBESTest), PD-related pain (KPDPS), low back pain (VAS), kinesiophobia (TSK), lumbar-related functional disability (RMDQ), and motor function (MSD-UPDRSIII). Results: A statistically significant difference after intervention was observed between the groups for the variables MiniBESTest (p=0.023∗ and ν2=0.146), RMDQ (p=0.039∗ and ν2=0.205), and VAS (p=0.044∗ and ν2=0.197). An improvement in balance parameters of MiniBESTest was measured for the T group, while the NT group experienced a deterioration. Conclusions: A clinically significant difference was observed for the RMDQ and the VAS score between groups. Including osteopathic treatment for low back pain in a multidisciplinary approach for patients with Parkinson's Disease appears relevant for improving pain, functional disability, and balance. Addressing lumbar pain could have positive effects on the morbidity related to the risk of falls in PD and could help to prevent the risk of chronic pain.
