90 APPENDICES Physio<strong>the</strong>rapy <strong>KCE</strong> reports vol. B<br />

1.4.3. Conventional physio<strong>the</strong>rapy (electro<strong>the</strong>rapy, ultra-sound, laser )<br />

Ce point est abordé dans les guidelines: SBU 2000, ANAES 2000 (sur base de Klein 1990, De Bie 1998), Philadelphia 2001<br />

(sur base de Roman 1960), CBO 2003 (sur base de van Tulder 1999 et van der Heijden 1999), COST B13 2004 et KNGF<br />

2005. Notre recherche complémentaire a mis en évidence une HTA de faible qualité méthodologique (Wang 2004) .<br />

Results<br />

Peu d études de bonne qualité méthodologiques sont disponibles pour la physiothérapie conventionnelle. Aucune étude ne<br />

montre une efficacité des méthodes utilisées.<br />

Laser<br />

2 études RCTs ne montrent pas de différence d efficacité entre le laser et un placebo.<br />

L ANAES 2000 retient une RCT en double aveugle concernant des lombalgies évoluant depuis plus d un an (Klein 1990). 20<br />

patients sont randomisés en 2 groupes : laser de basse énergie (gallium-arsenic) associé à des exercices à domicile versus<br />

laser-placebo + exercices à domicile. Il n y avait pas de différence entre les 2 groupes en ce qui concerne la douleur ou la<br />

fonction.<br />

CBO 2003 se base de De Bie et al 1998 (RCT de bonne qualité méthodologique) comparant le Laser 904 au placebo ou au<br />

laser utilisant d autres doses. Il n y avait pas de différence d efficacité.<br />

Un rapport HTA (Wang 2004) étudie le Low Level Laser Therapy (LLT). Une seule étude concerne la CLBP. La<br />

présentation des résultats ne permet pas de tirer des conclusions par rapport au patient CLBP.<br />

KNGF 2005 et Prodigy 2005 déconseillent l utilisation du Laser dans la CLBP.<br />

Therapeutic ultrasound :<br />

Une RCT ne montre pas de différence entre le continuous <strong>the</strong>rapeutic ultrasound et le placebo.<br />

Philadelphia 2001 retient une one RCT (N=36) of continuous <strong>the</strong>rapeutic ultrasound versus a placebo (Roman 1960 de<br />

mauvaise qualité méthodologique). There was no difference in pain improvement between continuous <strong>the</strong>rapeutic<br />

ultrasound after 1 month of <strong>the</strong>rapy. There is no evidence for <strong>the</strong> use of <strong>the</strong>rapeutic ultrasound (SBU 2000, CBO 2003,<br />

COST B13 2004, Prodigy 2005, KNGF 2005).<br />

Conventional <strong>the</strong>rmo<strong>the</strong>rapy and dia<strong>the</strong>rmy<br />

There is no evidence (no studies known) for shortwave dia<strong>the</strong>rmy, <strong>the</strong>rmothérapie, rayons infrarouges, ondes courtes et<br />

micro-ondes (SBU 2000, ANAES 2000, Philadelphia 2001, COST B13 2004).<br />

Electro<strong>the</strong>rapy: ionophoresis, diadynamic and interferential currents<br />

CBO 2003 based on <strong>the</strong> systematic review of van der Heijden 1999 (11 studies concern LBP) concludes that <strong>the</strong> evidence<br />

for electro<strong>the</strong>rapy is insufficient.<br />

There is no evidence for <strong>the</strong> use of electro<strong>the</strong>rapy: ionophoresis, diadynamic and interferential currents (ANAES 2000,<br />

Philadelphia 2001, KNGF 2005, Prodigy 2005)<br />

Conclusion :<br />

There is weak evidence that Ultra Sound <strong>the</strong>rapy as part of traditional physical <strong>the</strong>rapy modalities is uneffective to treat<br />

low back pain. However very little good quality studies on this topic are available in <strong>the</strong> literature. . On <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong><br />

available evidence, Ultra Sound <strong>the</strong>rapy should not be recommended.<br />

There is very little evidence available in <strong>the</strong> literature on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of electro<strong>the</strong>rapy (ionophoresis, diadynamic and<br />

interferential currents ). The effectiveness of such physical <strong>the</strong>rapy modalities remains unknown. Such treatment<br />

modalities should thus not be recommended unless conclusive evidence on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of such treatments becomes<br />

available.<br />

There is no evidence available in <strong>the</strong> literature on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of heat <strong>the</strong>rapy through conventional <strong>the</strong>rmo<strong>the</strong>rapy<br />

and through dia<strong>the</strong>rmy. Such treatment modalities should thus not be recommended unless conclusive evidence on <strong>the</strong><br />

effectiveness of such treatments becomes available.<br />

There is weak evidence that Laser <strong>the</strong>rapy as part of traditional physical <strong>the</strong>rapy modalities is uneffective to treat low back<br />

pain. However very little good quality studies on this topic are available in <strong>the</strong> literature. On <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> available<br />

evidence, Laser <strong>the</strong>rapy should not be recommended.<br />

1.4.4 TENS : Trancutaneal Electrical Nerve Stimulation<br />

Ce point est abordé dans les guidelines: SBU 2000, ANAES 2000, Philadelphia 2001, CBO 2003 (Van Tulder 1999), COST<br />

13 2004 (Brosseau 2002 et al, Milne et al 2002, van Tulder et al 1999), PRODIGY 2005 (Airaksinen et al 2004), KGNF<br />

2005. Notre recherche complémentaire a trouvé deux Cochrane systematic review (Khadilkar 2006 and Gadsby 2006),<br />

une systematic review (Khadilkar 2005) de bonne qualité méthdologique, ainsi qu un rapport HTA (NHS CRD 2000).
