Galileo Research Facts No. 98: Can Galileo Therapy at work decrease subjective back pain?

Like other studies (#GRFS27 #GRFS25 #GRFS9) this study shows that frequent Galileo Therapy can decrease subjective back pain. In this case the Galileo application was performed at work – 2-3 times per week for 15 minutes (10-30Hz, slightly bent knees) over a period of 3 months. The subjective back pain was measured by several questionnaires (Roland and Morris disability questionnaire (RMQ), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Health-related quality of life (FS-36)).

The control group did not perform any additional exercise and decreased in most questionnaires. The Galileo Therapy group however increased in almost all questionnaires by up to 4.5% and even showed a tendency to decrease leave-days at work (to be able to reach significance the number of monitored individuals (41 in this study) and the duration would have been needed to be increased).
