What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a combined physiotherapy and osteopathy treatment compared to a placebo in managing disability and improving quality of life for patients who have undergone lumbar arthrodesis. It focuses on analyzing the effects of targeted and non-targeted osteopathy on postoperative recovery. The goal is to provide insights into the role of osteopathy as a non-pharmacological approach in post-surgical care.
