This is a randomized controlled trial project to analyze the effectiveness of lumbar motor control exercises and lumbar resistance training on pain, functional, kinesiophobia and trunk strength in individual with chronic low back pain. The project has two parallel arms and will be supervised by physiotherapists (motor control exercises) and physical education professionals (resistance training). The participants will be Militaries of the Military Fire Department of the Federal District who presents in the recruitment regular low back pain more than 3 months. The two groups will be supervised in12 weeks of exercises in the Physical Activity Center of Military Fire Department of the Federal District. Our hypotheses is that the resistance training effects wil be superior to motor control exercises only for trunk strength (isokinetic flexion and extension).
Low back pain is a leading cause of disability and health care costs in the United States, and treatments are ineffective for many patients. Epidural steroid injections are a common treatment, but their efficacy has been questioned and for many patients they do not provide complete relief. The investigators hypothesize, based on preclinical studies, that lack of complete efficacy may be due to the fact that clinically used steroids activate not only the intended drug target, the glucocorticoid receptor, but also the pro-inflammatory mineralocorticoid receptor. To test this hypothesis, this pilot study will recruit patients scheduled for lumbar epidural steroid injections for degenerative disc disease, and randomize them to receive a concurrent treatment with oral eplerenone (a clinically approved antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor) or placebo for 10 days starting just after the epidural injection. At several time points during the following year, subjects will answer the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire, to report on both pain and functional outcomes.
Enso is a portable device for the treatment of chronic and acute types of musculoskeletal pain. This study is being designed as a single blind, sham-controlled randomized clinical trial.
This study will evaluate the addition of lidocaine % transdermal patches to standard therapy in the treatment of acute non-radicular low back pain in patients discharged from the Emergency Department. In addition to standard therapy, half of the participants will receive medicated patches while the other half will receive non-medicated patches.
This is a Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, 22 Week, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled and 3-Week, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of X0002 Spray in relief of the signs and symptoms of Subjects with Osteoarthritis of the Lumbar Spine. To evaluate the efficacy of X0002 spray compared to placebo for the relief of low back pain disability in subjects with osteoarthritis (OA) of the low back.
This project studies the effects of involving patients in the development of a web-application.
In this pilot study, investigators will test the efficacy of AlloGen-LI, an allograft derived from amniotic fluid, injected into the epidural space at the level of spinal stenosis as an anti-inflammatory treatment to relieve back and leg pain symptoms in patients with spinal stenosis and/or disc herniation. The patients will be followed for 12 weeks. The effect of this treatment will be examined by patient reported changes in pain and disability utilizing validated outcome measures, and MRI imaging evaluating changes in contrast enhancement and T2 signal related to that reflect inflammation and degeneration.
A phase 2 randomized clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of SPARC1401 at three dose levels in patients with acute low back pain
Patients presenting to the ED with a chief complaint of acute low back pain and whom the providing physician feels symptomatic treatment is appropriate in the ED will be screened for inclusion in the study. The purpose of the study is to compare Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) as an adjunct to ibuprofen in the treatment of acute low back pain in the emergency department. Therefore, the aim of this prospective, randomized, double blind study is to evaluate the efficacy of ED administered TENS in acute low back pain patients during their ED visit.
