Mind over matter could cure back pain
Mental exercises could be just as effective as physically working the muscles to ease back pain, researchers have suggested. Their work could bring relief to the thousands of chronic back pain sufferers in the UK.
The study, published in the journal BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, found that training the mind was just as effective as using more physical methods to deal with chronic lower back pain.
However using the methods together did not improve their back pain even further.
Rob Smeets, from the University of Maastricht, and colleagues from across the Netherlands recruited 223 people suffering from chronic back pain.
Over 10 weeks, one group received mental therapy, another had physical treatment and the third had a combination of the two.
The physical treatment attempted to restore back muscle strength with aerobic training on a bicycle and strengthening exercises.
The mental therapy tried to help patients overcome their reluctance to be more active, teaching them how to face obstacles for recovery by using problem-solving skills.
The researchers assessed how mobile the patients were before and after treatment. They discovered that both physical treatment and mental therapy significantly reduced pain experienced by the participants compared to those who received no treatment at all.
However lead researcher Rob Smeets said:
"Combining the treatments does not improve patients' condition further than using the individual treatments."
The researchers said their study showed the short-term results of the treatments, but further tests would be conducted in a years time.
