Abstract
: To study the effect of four interventions on lower back pain (LBP) alongside time and to identify whether changes in nutrition and doing traditional Persian remedies (massage and rubbing white Lily oil) could relieve the LBP using a short-time treatment. The population of this study consisted of 89 subjects with chronic LBP collected in traditional Persian medicine clinics. The outcomes were two indices for LBP, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and numerical rating scale (NRS), measured three times with an interval of four weeks. Age was not an effective variable in both LBP indices. Effective interventions for both indices are almost the same. For ODI, sex (= male), nutrition, massage, using White Lily oil, and time had decreasing effects on ODI, but interactions of sex with nutrition and massage had increasing effects on ODI. For NRS, sex (= female), using White Lily oil, time, and interactions of sex with massage and nutrition had decreasing effects, but nutrition, massage, and interactions of sex with White Lily oil had increasing effects on NRS.
