Study on changes in some physiological parameters under the action of therapeutic ultrasound

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a disease with a high socio-economic and medical impact. Recovery treatment is complex and includes medication (NSAIDs, analgesics, muscle relaxants), physiotherapy and kinesiology. Ultrasound is one of the electrotherapy procedures applied due to its analgesic effects, muscle relaxing properties and massage. The study assesses the evolution of temperature and the number of red blood cells after the application of ultrasound of different intensities and ways. The results are statistically significant for some parameters. Limitations of the study are determined by the relatively small number of study patients, but the results could form the basis of further research.
