Filter by:The hypothesis of this work is that distraction is an effective way to modify the feeling and experience of chronic lumbar pain by modifying the functioning of the prefrontal cortex. The main objective of this study is to show that during chronic low back pain generated during physical exercise, virtual reality distraction leads to the modification of the activity of the prefrontal cortex. The secondary objectives are: - Show a significant decrease in the average pain assessed with EVA during physical exercise with virtual reality distraction. - Show an increase in the distance travelled with virtual reality distraction. - Observe a decrease in perceived effort with virtual reality distraction. - Quantify the adherence (presence) of subjects to the virtual environment
Identification of the effects of yoga, stabilization exercise and aerobic exercise approaches on physical and cognitive variables in individuals with low back pain.
The objective of this study is to evaluate long-term ongoing effectiveness of the Intracept Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
The study evaluates the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and repeated doses of topical AB001 patch and the bioavailability relative to the oral capsule and topical positive comparative patch.
The randomized controlled study aims was to investigate the pain control of Battle Field Acupuncture as Primary or Adjunctive Treatment in Back Pain (Acute Musculoskeletal pain) in the (acute pain setting) Emergency Department vs stand of care pain medications.
Evaluating the efficacy of a newly developed self-monitored mobile application in reducing office workers low back pain.
Low back pain (LBP) ranks among the first diseases in term of years lived with disability. The latest Clinical Guideline from the American College of Physicians for acute LBP recommends to select "nonpharmacologic treatment with superficial heat, massage, acupuncture or spinal manipulation". The application of superficial heat ("thermal therapy") may provide enough pain relief in the acute phase to remain active, which is recommended to prevent the development of chronicity. However, no studies have tested if the combination of heat and exercises provide additional benefit on short, middle and long-term follow-up in people with acute LBP. Hence, the main objective of this study is to determine the immediate, short-, middle- and long-term effect of continuous low-level thermal therapy in combination or not with exercises on pain, disability, and physical activity level in people with acute LBP. Project hypothesis : The Thermal care + Exercises group will show greater improvement in pain, disability and physical activity level than both Thermal care and Control groups for immediate, short-, middle- and long-term follow-ups. Sixty individuals with acute LBP will be recruited. This study will include six assessments over 6 months. At the baseline evaluation, participants will complete questionnaires on symptoms, disability, pain-related fear and self-efficacy. Afterwards, participants will be randomly assigned to one of three intervention programs: 1) Thermal care group, 2) Exercises + Thermal care group, and 3) Control group. They will immediately meet a physical therapist to review and perform their assigned program. Participants will then take part in their assigned 7-day intervention program, during which they will wear a fitness wristband to track physical activity level. Finally, the same outcomes will be reassessed to determine the effect of intervention at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after baseline.
This study evaluates the effects of self-learning exercise from multimedia content on pain and disability in patients with low back pain.
Low back pain is a very common musculoskeletal condition that affects many people each year regardless of age, gender, and ethnicity. Most people get better however, some continue suffering from painful episodes despite treatment. Self-management strategies for the management of chronic low back pain are very important to patients as they help them develop skills to manage their pain more effectively. However, self-management strategies are not always effective as expected. It is possible that the brain has become very sensitive to signals coming from peripheral parts of the body (e.g. low back) affecting the ability of patients to self-manage their condition. The aim of this study is to establish whether central sensitisation (sensitivity of the brain to peripheral signals) predicts how effective self-management approaches will be. On three different occasions, scheduled sessions will include a clinical assessment session and completion of a questionnaire booklet. The clinical assessment will measure three features of central sensitisation: 1) sensitivity to blunt pressure on the forearm, 2) changes in pain, felt during repeated light pricking of the forearm skin, and 3) reduction in pain that accompanies inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the opposite arm. Participant involvement at each session is expected to last for 70 minutes. Individuals over 18, diagnosed with chronic low back pain and enlisted to follow a pain management program are eligible to participate. The clinical assessments, questionnaire completion and subsequent statistical analysis are expected to be completed within 18 months of study commencement. Based on our findings, future research may use similar clinical assessment to identify people who might be helped to self-manage by using treatment that reduces central sensitisation.
Low back pain is a very common problem that causes pain, disability, gait and balance problems. Neurodynamic techniques is used for treatment of low back pain. The aim of the study is comparing the effects of electrotherapy and neural mobilization techniques on pain, functionality, gait and balance.
