The purpose of the research study entitled "Efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Phototherapy for Patients with Chronic Lower Back Pain" is to investigate the hypothesis that combined treatment with both osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and phototherapy will provide greater pain relief for patients with chronic lower back pain, as compared with standard medical management or either treatment alone.
Corticosteroid injections into the epidural space or sacroiliac joint are increasingly used for the treatment of chronic neck, low back, and leg pain. These injections may have several side effects, including suppression of the body's adrenal glands to produce steroids (adrenal suppression) and negative effects on metabolism (weight gain, increased blood pressure, and high blood sugar levels). The purpose of this study is to determine the time course and predictors of adrenal suppression and the metabolic effects of corticosteroid injections for chronic pain. The investigators hypothesize normalization of adrenal function to occur within three weeks of injection in most individuals. An increased frequency of injections is predicted to lead to prolonged adrenal suppression. Corticosteroid injections are also hypothesized to lead to increases in body weight, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, particularly in diabetic individuals.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the oxygen-ozone therapy in the treatment of back pain in subjects aged 65 or older. In particular, the intramuscular injection technique/paravertebral of oxygen-ozone mixture, a minimal invasive treatment with respect to intradiscal infiltration/intraforaminal technique, will be used.
In Denmark the number of patients, sick listed for more than four weeks is increasing, and patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders make one third of the total amount of long-term absenteeism. Compared to other diagnoses, patients suffering from musculoskeletal diseases, including low back pain, are less likely to return to work after a period of sick leave. It seems that a multidisciplinary intervention, including cooperation between the health sector, the social sector and in the work place, has a positive effect on days off work due to musculoskeletal disorders and particularly low back pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of a work oriented multidisciplinary intervention. A randomized controlled trial will include 770 patients with low back pain. The study population consists of patients, who are sick listed or at risk of sick leave due to LBP. The control group is treated with usual care in a team with participation of a physiotherapist, a chiropractor, a rheumatologist and a local employed social worker The Intervention group is treated with usual care and in addition intervention of a psychologist, an occupational physician, an ergonomist and a social worker from the local sickness benefit office. The treating physiotherapist will be the RTW-coordinator. Outcome will be reported at the end of treatment as well as 6 and 12 months follow up. The primary outcome is number of days of work. Secondary outcomes are disability, pain, and quality of life. This large RCT study is testing the effectiveness of a preventive intervention targeting patients on short term sick leave or at risk being sick listed because of low back pain. We have developed a novel multidisciplinary team structure using the treating physiotherapist as the return to work coordinator, and having the case manager from the sickness benefit office participating in team meetings.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether acupuncture treatment(Individualized & Standardized Acupuncture) is more effective than control (sham acupuncture or no treatment) and also whether individualized acupuncture is more effective than standardized acupuncture.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two different exercise programs for the reduction of pain and disability in a specific subgroup of NSLBP patients and aims to investigate the additive effect of hip stabilization exercises. The investigators hypothesize that the combined local (segmental) stabilizer and hip stabilizer program (T2) will be more effective in reducing pain and disability in NSLBP patients compared to the local (segmental) stabilizer program (T1).
The aim of the proposed study is to evaluate knowledge on low back pain and gesture behavior among nurses with low back pain using validated measures and compare the findings to those from nurses without back pain.
The purpose of this study will be assess the effectiveness of the physical virtual training on nonspecific chronic low back pain, body balance, functional autonomy and mood of older women. Two groups will be formed. One will do strength exercises and core training. The other group will do the same exercises more virtual activities with Nintendo Wii. Will be measure pre and post-intervention of the responses already shown above.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of bee venom acupuncture on pain intensity, functional status and quality of life of patients with chronic low back pain.
