Filter by:Return to work is one of the essential objectives of functional spinal restoration programs. When the duration of the work stoppage increases, the chances of returning to work become worse. No studies have yet evaluated the value of a short 2-week restoration program. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 2-week functional restoration program regains a return-to-work rate similar to longer-term restoration programs at one year post-program. This retrospective study with prospective referral included 200 patients with non specific chronic low-back pain who participated in a self-care rehabilitation program between May 2018 and May 2019. The program included both physical and educational approaches to dealing with the condition. The duration was two weeks with follow-up at three months. The main evaluation criterion was to evaluate the return to work rate by telephone at one year post-program. Secondary objectives were to observe return-to-work conditions, absenteeism, recovery time, pain and physical activity at one year post-program and also to observe if there was a possible association between intrinsic/extrinsic factors and return to work
Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire. Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Dance Functional Outcome Survey (DFOS-IT), allowing its use with Italian-speaking dancers to evaluate their musculoskeletal health and wellbeing inside and outside Italy. Summary of Background Data: Musculoskeletal injuries are a phenomenon of huge prevalence and has been a major focus within peer-reviewed literature since the 1980s. Growing attention is devoted to standardized outcome measures to improve interventions for injured dancers. A translated form of the DFOS, the only existing outcome measure that focus on the unique functional requirements of dancers, has never been validated within the Italian dancers population.
The purpose of the Thoraco-Lumbar Fascial Mobility (TLFM) study is to use ultrasound to measure the movement of connective tissue in the low back area of individuals with chronic low back pain (lasting more than 1 year). This study will compare baseline measurements, measurements after a single high velocity low amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) and after a course of up to 16 HVLA-SM.
This study evaluates the influence of stress on inflammation and the symptomatology of the patient with back pain. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) will be used in half of participants, a validated psychopedagogical intervention for stress reduction, and the participants assigned to the control group will follow the usual treatment, according to their diagnosis.
Introduction: Low back pain is a very prevalent condition in the population and windsurf therapy has been presented as a non-pharmacological treatment currently used in this population. However, there is a lack of studies that evaluate such effects, besides a standardization of application of the technique in this condition. This protocol describes a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind study that aims to assess the effectiveness of windsurf therapy in improving pain and other symptoms of individuals with chronic non-specific back pain. Methods: Ninety individuals with chronic nonspecific and localized chronic low back pain from 18 to 59 years, will be recruited according to the inclusion criteria. Afterwards they will be randomized to one of the 2 groups: intervention group (GI) where it will be submitted applied to the windspiration with 2 suctions; and placebo group (GP) with simulated application. Both applications will occur in parallel to the vertebrae from L1 to L5 bilaterally. The application will be performed once a week for eight weeks. The volunteers will be evaluated before treatment (T0), immediately after the first intervention (T1), 4 weeks after treatment (T4) and 8 weeks after treatment (T8). The primary endpoint will be pain, and the secondary ones will be kinesiophobia, physical function, lumbar range of motion, sleep quality, patient expectation, quality of life, and psychological factors. Discussion: This is the first protocol that proposes to evaluate the effect of windsotherapy on lumbar ROM, sleep quality, kinesiophobia and psychological problems. Few studies have been done on windsurfing individuals with low back pain, requiring further studies with good methodological quality. Because there is no consensus on the use of windsurf therapy in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain, our protocol will be the basis for the use of the technique by health professionals and for new studies to be performed.
This study will examine the effectiveness of one of two psychoeducation treatments on chronic low back pain.
he study is a telephone questionnaire. The study will include 400 women, 100 in each group. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of chronic and chronic back pain following PDPH accidental dural puncture during epidyral analgesia for delivery. 1. Parturients who gave birth to a normal birth and did not receive epidural anesthesia. 2. Parturients who gave birth to a normal birth with epidural anesthesia without an unintentional dural puncture. 3. Parturients who gave birth to a normal birth with epidural anesthesia and had an unintentional dural puncture, these women were treated conservatively. 4. Parturients who had a normal birth with epidural anesthesia and had an unintentional dural puncture and were treated with a blood patch following PDPH.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) devices produce a gentle electrical stimulation that when applied through pads applied directly to the skin, has a noticeable effect in reducing pain associated with various types of injuries and ailments. Several recent studies have shown efficacy when used for acute pain specific to primary dysmenorrhea, renal colic, lower-extremity pain, and pain associated with spinal cord injury, and was achieved without adverse effects. This study is intended to compare the effects of TENS units on acute back pain on ambulatory patients who are awaiting emergency medical treatment, to uncover if a statistically-significant analgesic effect is noted compared to a placebo device.
Non-specific low back pain is a common condition. Insoles are one of the many treatment form for chronic nonspecific LBP. The investigators hypothesized the contact total insole group will present pain reduction and functional improvement. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of contact total insole for people with nonspecific chronic low back pain and the impact of this insole on function, quality of life, load distribution in the plantar region, gait variables and satisfaction with insole use.
This is an analysis of data collected from 2009-2014 from medical students at GCU and physiotherapy students at UoG measuring attitudes towards patients with chronic low back pain and their functionality.
