Investigating the İmpact of A New Methods Central Area Exercise Program (Creative Manual Therapy. CMT)on Pain İntensity and Quality of Life in Men After Surgery

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a central area exercise program on pain intensity and quality of life in men following lumbar disc herniation surgery.emi-experimental study was conducted on 30 men who underwent lumbar disc herniation surgery in Van city in Turkey, with 15 participants in the control group and 15 in the experimental group. Participants were selected based on availability and were matched in terms of baseline characteristicsbased on creative manual therapy(CMT). The study inclusion criteria included no medical contraindications to exercise. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Baseline assessments of age, height, weight, and body mass index were recorded, along with pain intensity and quality of life using validated questionnaires. The exercise program consisted of central area exercises conducted three times per week for six weeks, with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. Pain intensity, range of motion, and quality of life were reassessed after the intervention period.The mean and standard deviation of participants' baseline characteristics, including age, height, weight, and body mass index, are presented in Table 2. The results of post-intervention assessments of pain intensity, range of motion, and quality of life are reported in Table 3, showing a significant improvement in these parameters in the experimental group compared to the control group.The findings of this study indicate that a six-week central area exercise program can lead to reduced pain intensity, increased range of motion, and improved quality of life in men following lumbar disc herniation surgery. These results align with previous research on exercise interventions for disc herniation-related pain and suggest that targeted exercises can play a positive role in post-operative recovery and functional improvement.
