Abstract:

 Purpose: The effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization IASTM on cervical disc herniation CDH have not been extensively studied. The study aimed to investigate the effect of the IASTM technique on pain, functionality and psychology in CDH. Methods: A two-armed randomized controlled trial was carried out with 24 patients with CDH. Participants were randomized into two groups: conventional physiotherapy n12 and IASTM plus conventional physiotherapy n12. A conventional rehabilitation consists of a hot pack, electrotherapy, and exercises five days a week for four weeks. IASTM technique has been used for two sessions per week for four weeks. Patients were assessed with Visual Analogue Scale VAS, Neck Disability Index NDI, Copenhagen Neck Functional Disability Scale CNFDS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale HADS. Results: Both groups had improvements in VAS scores p0.05. IASTM group yielded more reduction in resting and activity pains presting0.001, pactivity0.001. Disability scores of both groups improved p0.05. However, no difference was encountered between the groups regarding function and disability p0.05. Both the intervention and control groups showed a decrease in anxiety and depression symptoms p0.05. The anxiety and depression score of the intervention group yielded better results than the control group p0.05. Conclusion: IASTM improved patients rest and activity pain, anxiety and depression symptoms. On the other hand, IASTM provided advancement on function and disability scores simply as effective as conventional physiotherapy.
