Özet:

 Objectives: To evaluate whether physical therapy agents given in addition to medical treatment contribute to pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods: 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 were evaluated, as well as before and after treatment; Visual analogue scale, Oswestry disability index and short form 36 SF-36 quality of life scale, lumbar range of motion, straight leg raising test SLR and finger-floor distance were evaluated. Hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and ultrasound were given as physical therapy agents. Result: In both groups, a statistically significant improvement was achieved in all parameters, except the change in SLR and SF-36 general health perception score, compared to the pre-treatment period. However, SLR and SF-36 general health perception score changes improved significantly only in group 2. More improvement was achieved in all parameters in the group with physical therapy than in the group with only medical treatment. Conclusion: As a result, in our study; It has been shown that combined physical therapy agents added to medical treatment in chronic low back pain contribute to examination tests, general health perception and quality of life.
