Abstract

Introduction Low back pain is physically debilitating and leads to reduced quality of life. Because traditional therapies (such as physiotherapy and medications) are not always effective, people with low back pain often seek complementary and alternative therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the selected Swedish massage therapy protocol on pain in women aged 40 to 45 years with chronic non-specific low back pain in Bandar Abbas. Material and Method The current research is prospective and applied, which was carried out with a semi-experimental research design with a pre-test and post-test with a control group. The statistical population of this research is all women aged 40 to 45 in Bandar Abbas city who referred to the orthopedist's office due to nonspecific chronic back pain. The research samples were selected from among the clients with the coordination of the responsible doctor and according to the entry criteria checklist. Among the 45 people who qualified for the study, 24 people (people with body mass index less than 25) were selected as the research sample and randomly divided into two massage and control groups. A visual pain scale questionnaire was used to measure pain. Results Mean and standard deviation of age was 42. 64 1 1. 8 years, height was 162. 58 4 4. 2 cm, weight was 62. 25 4 4. 5 kg and body mass index was 25. 25. It was 23. 53 kg / m2. The results of independent t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the mean of age, height, weight and body mass index in massage and control groups. Statistical analysis of the data showed that there was a significant difference between the mean pain after the intervention in the two groups of massage therapy and control (t-11. 03, P = 0. 01). Conclusion The results of the present study showed that massage is effective on pain and can help reduce pain in these people.
