Effects of Osteopathic Management on Disability and Quality of Life After Lumbar Arthrodesis

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Chirurgical Intervention

In brief

The aim of our study is to assess the effect of a combined physiotherapy and osteopathy treatment versus a placebo on the management of disability and quality of life after lumbar arthrodesis. This study will provide a better assessment of the use of osteopathy as a non pharmacological approach to post-operative management. For this purpose, We will analyze the effects of these two approaches, targeted and non-targeted osteopathy (TO vs. NTO), on patients' disability and quality of life after surgery.
