The Effect of Manual Therapy on Psychological Factors and Quality of Life in Lumbal Disc Herniation Patients

When the literature is examined, there are studies examining the relationship between low back pain and anxiety depression, quality of life and LDH in patients with lumbar disc herniation. There are many studies on the clinical use of manual therapy methods in LDH. Most of these studies examine the effect of manual therapy on pain and functional level. However, there are hardly any studies examining the effect of manual therapy on quality of life and psychological factors in LDH patients. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of mobilization, which is a manual therapy application, on psychological factors (kinesiophobia, pain catastrophic thought, anxiety and depression) and quality of life in LDH patients.
