Structural and Relaxation Massage in Chronic Low Back Pain .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A Comparison of the Effects of 2 Types of Massage and Usual Care on Chronic Low Back Pain
Ann Intern Med. 2011 Jul 5;155(1):1-9. doi: 10.1059/0003-4819-155-1-201107050-00002401 patients, 20 to 65 years of age, with nonspecific chronic low back pain were randomized to three different groups receiving relaxation massage, structural massage, or usual care to compare their effectiveness in pain reduction. After 52 weeks of follow up, massage therapies safely improved pain and function over the short term, but the effects were diminished at final follow-up. There were no differences between the two techniques over the course of the study.
