Filter by:To evaluate superiority of HDC in comparison to placebo in the treatment of chronic low-back pain in relation to pain, functional impairment, quality of life, and state of health during a 15-week treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to test a physical therapy intervention for reducing pain in the low back and into the legs. With individuals over the age of 40 years, this pain may be associated to changes in back height from aging of the cushions between the back bones. When pain is caused from this, completion of different positions and rest periods have been shown to help reduce the pain, at least temporarily. This study will compare two such positions; 1)floating in deep warm water with weights attached to the ankles, to take the load off of the spine, 2)lying on their back with hip and knees flexed to a 90 degree angle. The height of each person will be measured before and after completion of each intervention using a specially designed measuring tool. Experimental hypothesis: 1. Subjects with low back and leg pain suggestive of nerve root compression syndrome will experience increase in spinal height when completing aquatic vertical suspension and/or land-based supine flexion. 2. Subjects with low back and leg pain suggestive of nerve root compression syndrome will experience greater increase in height, greater reduction of pain intensity and location when completing underwater vertical suspension as compared to supine land based flexion.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of EN3324 (axomadol) in subjects with moderate to severe chronic low back pain
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 1000 mg Aspirin (the study medication) by comparing it to placebo (the control group without active substance) or 400 mg Ibuprofen (the control group with an active substance) in treating the symptoms of back pain. The study is designed to develop a treatment method against back pain which will have more advantages for patients than the methods that are currently available.
The proposed study will test how well an innovative method, interactive voice response (IVR), can be used for delivering an treatment for chronic low back pain. The use of IVR will improve the accessibility of treatment to Veterans. IVR is a computerized interface that allows patients to use their telephone to: 1) obtain pre-recorded didactic information, 2) report data regarding pain-related symptoms and adherence to pain coping skill practice, and 3) receive personalized therapist feedback. Although CBT has been shown to be effective in reducing pain intensity, traditional CBT requires patients to make frequent office visits. The use of IVR will allow Veterans to access CBT from their home via a touch-tone telephone, thereby allowing them to access treatment at their convenience without travel to the VA for an outpatient appointment. Veterans with chronic low back pain will be randomized in equal numbers to receive either standard CBT or IVR-based CBT. Veterans in both conditions will receive 10 session of treatment designed to help them manage their chronic pain using pain coping skills. The primary outcome measure will be pain intensity.
The objective of this study is to check whether vitamin D will lead to a decrease in pain intensity compare to placebo, in patients suffering from chronic pain.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the TENS and IFC in patients with non specific chronic low back pain.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of lumbar support for low back pain prevention in rubber tapper. The investigators will randomized the participants(rubber tapper) into 2 groups;lumbar support and no support.The participant will be instructed for brace use. The sample size required are 200 subjects with 100 in each group. The subject will be evaluated every 3 month for the incidence of low back pain and quality of life after using the support.
This study evaluates the ability of the transverse abdominis (TrA) to contract during and after two different types of exercise - either sling based exercise or traditional core stability exercise. The TrA is measured by real time ultrasound imaging. The investigators hypothesized that the sling based exercise would activate the TrA to a greater degree and that there would be a greater activation after the exercise.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of fentanyl in opioid-naive participants with osteoarthritis (disorder, which is seen mostly in older persons, in which the joints become painful and stuff) or low back pain who cannot obtain a sufficient analgesic effect by the treatment of non-opioid analgesics (drug used to control pain).
