Intervention model description: Patients with VAS, ODI and SF-36 quality of life values before treatment, in addition to demographic data, who have applied to our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Policlinic in our hospital with chronic low back pain in the last 3 (three) months, are determined, and at least 30 above the age of 18 who received physiotherapy and who did not receive physiotherapy. By calling the patient on the phone and being called to our hospital; patient consents will be obtained and VAS, ODI and SF-36 quality of life values will be questioned.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: Demographic data of patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain and planned for medical treatment (n:30) and physical therapy in addition to medical treatment (n:30), as well as before and after treatment; Visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short form 36 (SF-36) quality of life scoring, Lumbar range of motion (LHA), straight leg raising test (DBK) and hand-finger ground distance (EPZM) were evaluated. Hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and ultrasound were given as physical therapy agents.

Detailed description: Patients with VAS, ODI and SF-36 quality of life values before treatment, in addition to demographic data, who have applied to our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Policlinic in our hospital with chronic low back pain in the last 3 (three) months, are determined, and at least 30 above the age of 18 who received physiotherapy and who did not receive physiotherapy.

patient consents obtained and VAS, ODI and SF-36 quality of life values questioned.

Pre- and post-treatment values compared, and intragroup changes compared in both groups and evaluated whether physiotherapy contributes to pain, functionality and quality of life in treatment.
