Believability of Sham Neural Mobilization vs Real Neural Mobilization in Low Back Pain Patients .
Validation of a sham novel neural mobilization technique in patients with non-specific low back pain: A randomized, placebo-controlled trial
Musculoskelet Sci Pract. 2021 Jun;53: 102378Fifty-four patients with subacute, non-specific low back pain (LBP) were randomized to receive a novel sham neural mobilization (NM) technique (n=26) or real NM (n=28). The primary outcome of interest was believability of the sham technique by asking patients 1 week post-treatment which intervention they believed they had received. The secondary outcome of interest was pain on the visual analogue scale (VAS), immediately after the intervention and 1 week post-intervention. Results revealed no significant difference was observed between the 2 groups for the primary outcome (p=0.329) nor the secondary outcome when measured immediately after the intervention, and 1 week post-intervention (p>0.05 for all).
