In the researchers' words
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a musculoskeletal syndrome whose main characteristic is the pain, which is focalized in the lumbar area of the spine, which cannot be attributed to a known cause (traumatism, systemic diseases, nerve root compression, etc). The treatment includes massage and rehabilitation techniques. Here the investigators want to test whether a robot (ADAMO) may help in improving current physiotherapy exercises in reducing back pain. NSLBP patients will be randomly assigned to two arms (robot versus control) and they will receive 10 massage sessions. Pain evaluation will be performed with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The ODI will be performed by an independent physician blind to the treatment.
