The effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on insomnia improving and pain in patients with chronic low back pain

Abstract

To assess the effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on improving insomnia and pain in patients with chronic low back pain. The research method used an analytic experimental cross-sectional design for chronic NPB patients enrolled in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and Clinic Inggit Medical Center, from March to May 2019. rPMS was conducted and assessed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and assessed the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) before and after rPMS was performed. Samples were divided randomly into the control and treatment groups. A comparison of ISI and NPRS values before and after rPMS was performed with a paired t-test analysis. There were 30 samples (15 controls and 15 treatments) with differences in ISI and NPRS scores in both groups of 5.00 (±2.10) and 1.80 (±0.68) in the treatment group and 0.93 (±1.33) and 1.07 (±0.26) in the control group. There was a significant improvement in ISI and NPRS values after rPMS was performed on chronic NPB. Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation affects improving insomnia and pain in patients with chronic lower back pain.
