  • The biopsychosocial approach for managing low back pain (LBP) could enhance patient care but often overlooks the importance of sexual activity, a significant aspect for those affected by LBP.
  • This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of manual therapy plus sexual advice (MT+SA) against manual therapy (MT) and exercise therapy (ET) for individuals with lumbar disc herniation and radiculopathy.
  • Results indicated that the MT+SA group showed greater improvements in pain, activity limitations, sexual disability, and kinesiophobia over 52 weeks compared to the other groups, demonstrating the added value of incorporating sexual advice into treatment.
