Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a SPA Therapy to "Neyrac-les-Bains" to the Old Subject (60-80 Years Old) With a Chronic Low Back Pain.
Low back pain is considered to be chronic if it has been present for longer than three months.
This pathology is extremely frequent with an annual incidence between 5 in 10 % of the general population. Thus she is frequently met in general medicine, in particular to the ageing subject. It is the 2nd motive for consultation.
The Chronic Low Back Pain is a mild pathology the forecast of which is in the favorable great majority of the cases but she pulled a socioeconomic cost mattering with a poly-consumption of care, in private individuals.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of a 3 months SPA Therapy on the Chronic Low Back Pain in older adults (from 60 to 80 years old) realizing a SPA Therapy of 3 weeks to "Neyrac-les-Bains".
Study Overview
Detailed Description
Realization of the protocol :
- Selection of the patients (realized during the consultation of programming in the beginning of the SPA Therapy). They are 2 thermal doctors of "Neyrac-les-Bains" (1 general practitioner with formation of thermal medicine and a rheumatologist) which include the eligible patients in this study during the visit of the beginning of SPA Therapy.
- They will put back to the patients the Inform Consent Form, the Form of non-opposition and the 1st questionnaire (J0). The nurse of the SPA Therapy will be at their disposal to help them to fill the questionnaire if need.
An urn will be arranged in the entrance hall of Neyrac- les-Bains to get back the filled questionnaires (J0 and J21).
Patients will follow the conventional SPA Therapy of 3 weeks without a specific changes or modification of the care provided.
Feedback :
Assessments conducted by the using of self - questionnaires:
- Delivered in the issue of the visit of inclusion and at the end of the Spa Therapy ;
- Sent by mail at 3 and 6 months
The expectations and fears will be evaluated by means of individual interview or focus groups. To avoid the biases bound to the questionnaire, the patients questioned in qualitative are different from patients receiving the questionnaire (not over the same period of SPA Therapy).
