Introduction: Deep muscle activation is an effective technique to treat recurrent back pain of various etiologies. The objective was to observe the efficacy of a deep muscle activation program through Core Stability in recurrent back pain and whether it was equally effective at the dorsal, cervical and lumbar level.Methodology: quasi-experimental study was designed with a sample of 15 backache cases, including 5 levels, all of them with recurrent pain. A programming treatment of deep muscle activation two days in a week for 8 weeks was proposed. Pain was assessed before and after treatment through the BPI self-administration questionnaire, and recurrent pain 6 months later.
Results: It was observed a tendency of lower pain reduction at the lumbar level and a greater relative change at the cervical level. The variable change in quality of life, recurrence and percentage of pain compared to other treatments was higher at the lumbar level and lower at the cervical level.
Conclusions: It was observed that deep muscle activation through Core Stability is an effective technique to treat recurrent back pain, being significant at all levels. A cervical treatment was proposed for future research. - Abstract

Introducción: la activación muscular profunda es una técnica eficaz para tratar el dolor recurrente de espalda de diversas etiologías. El objetivo fue observar la eficacia de un programa de activación muscular profunda a través del Core Stability en el dolor recurrente de espalda y compararlo a nivel lumbar, dorsal y cervical.
Metodología: se diseñó un estudio cuasi experimental con una muestra de 15 sujetos, 5 por nivel, con crisis recurrentes de dolor. Se propuso un tratamiento de activación muscular profunda de dos días a la semana durante 8 semanas. Se evaluó el dolor antes y después del tratamiento a través del cuestionario de autoadministración BPI y el número de crisis recurrentes 6 meses post tratamiento.
Resultados: se observó una tendencia de disminución del dolor mayor a nivel lumbar y un cambio relativo mayor a nivel cervical. La variable cambio en la calidad de vida, recurrencia y porcentaje de dolor respecto otros tratamientos fue mayor a nivel lumbar y menor a nivel cervical.
Conclusiones: se observó que la activación muscular profunda a través del Core Stability es una técnica eficaz para tratar el dolor recurrente de espalda, siendo significativo en todos los niveles. Se propuso un tratamiento cervical para futuras investigaciones. - presented at
