Abstract

Aim: To assess the effect of the whole-body cryotherapy on everyday functioning and the severity of pain of patients diagnosed with lumbar spine osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 patients with osteoarthritis who underwent a course of a series of 10 treatments of the whole-body cryotherapy in cryogenic chamber. The Visual Analogue Scale and the Revised Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Scale were used to assess the effectiveness of the therapy. The mobility of the spine was examined using the Thomayer test and the Schober one. Results: A significant statistical improvement was demonstrated in the reduction of pain (p<0.0001) and daily functioning (p<0.0001). The biggest change was observed in the case of personal care, sleeping and traveling activities. There was no significant change in walking (p=0, 6323), sitting (p=0, 0827) and lifting heavy objects (p=0.0761). Conclusions: The use of the whole-body cryotherapy significantly improves daily functional efficiency and reduces pain of patients with lumbar spine osteoarthritis. In addition, the range of mobility is improved

全身冷冻治疗对腰椎骨关节炎患者功能状态的影响

目的:探讨全身冷冻治疗对腰椎骨关节炎患者日常功能及疼痛程度的影响。材料与方法:对100例骨关节炎患者进行了连续10个疗程的全身低温治疗。采用视觉模拟量表和修订的Oswestry下腰痛残疾量表来评估治疗的有效性。采用Thomayer试验和Schober试验检查脊柱的活动性。结果:在减轻疼痛(p<0.0001)和日常功能(p<0.0001)方面有显著的统计学改善。最大的变化出现在个人护理、睡眠和旅行活动方面。行走(p= 0,6323)、坐着(p= 0,0827)和举重(p=0.0761)无显著变化。结论:采用全身冷冻疗法可显著提高腰椎骨关节炎患者的日常功能效率，减轻疼痛。此外，还提高了移动范围
