fa مقایسه‌ی تاثیر اولتراسوندتراپی و فونوفورزیس با روغن زیتون بر کمردرد مزمن ورزشکاران زن- یک مطالعه‌ی پایلوت مقاله پژوهشی Original Research Article <p>Background and Objective: Virgin Olive oil contains Oleocanthal as an anti-inflammatory agent. The main purpose of this study was to compare the effects of ultrasound therapy and phonophoresis with virgin olive oil on female athletes&#39; chronic Low Back Pain (LBP). Materials and Methods: Thirty female athletes with chronic LBP voluntarily participated in this pilot study. Patients were randomly assigned to Phonophoresis (n=15) and Ultrasound (n=15) groups and were treated with virgin olive oil or ultrasound gel for 10 sessions. Frequency and duration of treatment by ultrasound were 1 MHz and 10-min, respectively. Subjects completed Mc Gill, Modified Oswestry and Ronald-Morris standard questionnaires before and after 10 sessions of physiotherapy. Results: There was a significant reduction in symptoms of LBP based on Mc Gill, Ronald-Morris, and Modified Oswestry questionnaires at the end of the therapy in both groups compared to pre-treatment status (P<0.05). Although the mean post-treatment scores were lower than the mean pre-treatment scores in all questionnaires in phonophoresis compared with ultrasound group, there was no significant difference in symptoms of LBP between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: It seems both ultrasound and phonophoresis with virgin olive oil are effective methods for treatment of chronic LBP in female athletes. References 1- Cakmak A, Yucel B, Ozyalcin SN.
