In this case, the patient remained asymptomatic with conservative management.","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78845474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lumbar segmental stabilization (LSS) is a therapeutic approach that aims to improve the neuromuscular control, strength and resistance of muscles that provide spinal stability. Objective: Compare the effect of CD and LSS on pain and functional disability of women with nonspecific chronic low back pain (NCLBP). Method: The sample will consist of 30 women aged between 35 and 60 years, with nonspecific chronic low back pain and intensity ≥3 points on the Numerical Pain Scale (NPS), divided into 2 groups: 1) CD group: 15 participants; 2) LSS group; 15 participants. Sixteen minutes sessions will be held twice a week for both groups. The primary outcomes will be assessed using the Numerical Pain Scale and Rolland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, and the secondary outcomes by the Beck Depression Inventory, Numerical Anxiety Scale, Global Perceived Effect (GPE) scale, Report of Symptoms and Adverse Events or Side Effects and the SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire at pre-treatment and 8, 12 and 24 weeks post-treatment. Results: It is hoped to obtain results that allow defining the possibility of using CD as a simple alternative to be applied, inexpensive, viable to be used in the public health system, with results equivalent if compared to a treatment already founded in the literature as an effective treatment for chronic back pain.Statistical analysis will be conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS -20.0), applying descriptive and inferential statistics. Discussion : This study is expected to broaden the use of CD in the national health system as an effective and efficient therapy, which could benefit women with NCLBP to have improved motor functions and emotional aspect of this population as well and ameliorate the quality of life.","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81279706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the coming years, will the incidence of the disease appears to increase further.1,2 In the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), AD is defined as the presence of many cognitive disorders including memory destruction without deterioration in consciousness.3 The National Institute of Aging includes Alzheimer’s Disease; It defines a progressive, irreversible brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and even the ability to perform simple tasks.4 Since there is currently no treatment option that prevents or stops the development of AD, the target is to improve and support the quality of life of patients, relatives and caregivers as much as possible. As the stages of AD progress, the symptoms of the disease are exacerbated. In daily living activities, the dependence on caregivers increases and the presence of a caregiver becomes indispensable.
