Filter by:The purpose of the current randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of myofascial soft tissue release versus mobilization with impulse technique torsion (anterior) on pain, disability, and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of an abdominal belt in the treatment of chronic mechanical-postural low back pain. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was carried out, involving 60 consecutively selected patients with chronic low back pain randomly allocated to an intervention group (use of abdominal belt) and control group (non-use of abdominal belt). Patients were evaluated at the baseline of the study (T0) as well as 1 (T1), 3 (T3) and 6 months (T6) after the inclusion. The patients were assessed for: pain (VAS); functional capacity (Roland Morris), patient satisfaction (Likert scale); and number of anti-inflammatory pills ingested. Intention-to-treat analysis was also used. Hypothesis - abdominal belt will improve pain in chronic low back pain patients
Recent research has shown that classifying patients with low back pain into treatment subgroups results in better improvements than treating all patients with low back pain the same. However, physical therapists may use different types of information to determine how to classify their patients. One method uses patient characteristics that have been shown by research to predict good results from a certain type of treatment. Another method uses specific impairments that the physical therapist identifies in a clinical exam to determine which treatment to provide. It is not currently known if one of these methods is better than the other. The purpose of this study is to determine if research-based classification or impairment-based treatment is more effective for treating patients with low back pain that has lasted less than 90 days in terms of improvements in pain and disability. The results of this study may help reduce the high financial cost associated with low back pain.
The main objective of this study is to compare on day 0 the maximum Lyapunov exponent (lmax, an indicator of local dynamic stability) of chronic low back pain patients versus that of healthy volunteers matched for age (± 5 years), sex and body mass index (BMI ± 15% of low back pain patients).
The primary aim of the study is to analyse the long-term effectiveness of an interprofessional and interdisciplinary rehabilitation program named "PASTOR", with a biopsychosocial approach for participants with chronic non-specific low back pain (CLBP) compared to the standard inpatient multidisciplinary orthopaedic rehabilitation (MOR) in Germany. The investigators hypothesize that in adults with CLBP the rehabilitation program PASTOR would result in a significantly higher increase in functional ability 12 months after completion of the program in comparison to the standard inpatient MOR. The investigators further hypothesize that PASTOR would lead to significantly larger improvements regarding pain-related cognitions, pain coping strategies, physical activity, health-related quality of life, and back pain episodes compared to the standard inpatient MOR.
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether or not DW-1030 is not inferior to eperisone HCl in efficacy and safety.
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common medical problems encountered in daily life; it is related to disability and work absence and accounts for high economical costs in Western societies. Low-back pain is a diverse group of mixed pain syndromes (neuropathic and nociceptive) with different molecular pathologies at different structural levels displaying similar clinical manifestations. Currently, there are limited biomarkers (mostly imaging) or clinical findings that can be used objectively to help the physician in precise anatomic diagnosis leading to the safest and most cost-effective treatment for the patient (reduction of direct and indirect costs and improvement of treatment efficacy). The main aim of this trial is to identify all "omics biomarkers" associated with susceptibility to chronic/persistent LBP and its different pathophysiology.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a standardised osteopathic manipulative treatment is more effective than a placebo of osteopathic manipulative treatment, in sub-acute and chronic non-specific low back pain on functional recovery at 3 months.
This study evaluates the effect of standard of care treatments (physical therapy versus manual therapy) in older adult patients who have balance problems with or without low back pain.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of an individually educated exercise program for the lower back at home in employees over a period of 20 weeks. We hypothesize that regular exercise for the lower back results in greater improvements of low back strengths compared to controls.
