> STUDY DESIGN: A randomized clinical trial with 1-year and 3-year telephone
> questionnaire follow-ups.
>
> OBJECTIVE: To report a specific exercise intervention's long-term effects
on
> recurrence rates in acute, first-episode low back pain patients.
>
> SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The pain and disability associated with an
> initial episode of acute low back pain (LBP) is known to resolve
> spontaneously in the short-term in the majority of cases. However, the
> recurrence rate is high, and recurrent disabling episodes remain one of
the
> most costly problems in LBP. A deficit in the multifidus muscle has been
> identified in acute LBP patients, and does not resolve spontaneously on
> resolution of painful symptoms and resumption of normal activity. Any
> relation between this deficit and recurrence rate was investigated in the
> long-term.
>
> METHODS: Thirty-nine patients with acute, first-episode LBP were medically
> managed and randomly allocated to either a control group or specific
> exercise group. Medical management included advice and use of medications.
> Intervention consisted of exercises aimed at rehabilitating the multifidus
> in cocontraction with the transversus abdominis muscle. One year and three
> years after treatment, telephone questionnaires were conducted with
> patients.
>
> RESULTS: Questionnaire results revealed that patients from the specific
> exercise group experienced fewer recurrences of LBP than patients from the
> control group. One year after treatment, specific exercise group
recurrence
> was 30%, and control group recurrence was 84% (P < 0.001). Two to three
> years after treatment, specific exercise group recurrence was 35%, and
> control group recurrence was 75% (P < 0.01).
>
> CONCLUSION: Long-term results suggest that specific exercise therapy in
> addition to medical management and resumption of normal activity may be
more
> effective in reducing low back pain recurrences than medical management
and
> normal activity alone.
