Filter by:Introduction. The lumbar region is one of the locations with the highest incidence of injuries in the paddle players. The crossed hands myofascial technique is used to release the restrictions of the thoracolumbar fascia, improving its mobility. The electrotherapy technique of TENS consists in the application of a low frequency current for the recovery, capitalization and oxygenation of the muscle, thus improving mobility and pain. Aim. To evaluate the efficacy of an intervention by electrotherapy combined with myofascial therapy, in the lumbar region, for a mobility improvement in older paddle-tennis federated players. Study design. Randomized, multicenter, simple blind, clinical trial with follow-up period. Methods. 30 players paddle will be assigned to the two study groups: experimental (intervention through therapy myofascial and electrotherapy) and control (intervention by electrotherapy). The intervention will have a duration of 4 weeks, with 2 sessions per week, lasting 15 minutes. There will be three evaluations: pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up. The variable of study is the mobility of the lumbar spine in the movements of flexion and extension (assessed by the employment of tests of Schober and Fingertip-to-floor). The analysis of normality be performed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnof, and in case of homogeneity of the groups is used in parametric tests: test t-student for paired data (difference between the different assessments) and ANOVA of mean repeated (intra-and intersujeto). Expected results. Improvement of the mobility of the lumbar spine in the movements of flexion and extension.
Introduction. Nonspecific lumbar pain is a very common cause of sports decline in boxers, possibly due to the repetitive movements of flexion and rotation in their sport, so the investigators believe it is interesting to seek an intervention that helps these athletes to reduce their incidence. Aim. To improve non-specific low back pain, range of motion of trunk flexion; the muscular resistance of the spinal erectors and the subjective perception of the effort in federated boxers older than 18 years. Study design. Randomized, multicentric and double-blind clinical trial with follow-up period. Methods. 60 federated boxers of legal age will be recruited, who will be randomly assigned to the study groups: experimental (Core and Kinesiotape® exercises) and control (Core exercises and Kinesiotape® tubes without tension). The intervention will last 4 weeks, with 2 weekly sessions, lasting 35 minutes. Three evaluations will be carried out (pre-treatment, post-treatment and follow-up) for the dependent variables. The analysis of normality will be carried out with the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and in case of homogeneity of the sample, with the t-student test of related samples and the ANOVA of repeated means, the difference between the evaluations and the intra e effect will be calculated. intersubject, respectively. Expected results. It is expected to observe the effectiveness of the Core and Kinesiotape® exercises in the perception of nonspecific lumbar pain, the range of movement of trunk flexion and lumbar resistance, and the perception of effort.
This cross-over study intends to use consecutive days of active versus sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to enhance descending inhibition and look at resulting clinical effects in people with low back pain.
GLA:D Back is a program developed in Denmark to help people with persistent low back pain. This pilot study will assist in contextualizing Danish content into an English version of the program.
PURPOSE: The main objectives of the study are: 1. To find the efficacy of using cognitive behavioural therapy on chronic low back pain with central sensitization. 2. To assist in planning an ideal physical therapy rehabilitation program for these patients. BACKGROUND: Recent research has shown that CLBP is a multifactorial disorder comprising psychosocial factors like pain catastrophization, fear avoidance and central sensitization. Central sensitization has been defined as "An amplification of neural signaling within the central nervous system that elicits pain hypersensitivity", and "increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the central nervous system to their normal or subthreshold afferent input". Maladaptive behavior, false beliefs and misinformation regarding the cause of the pain are all contributing factors to the chronicity of LBP. Central sensitization has been attributed to cortical reorganization and amplification of the somatosensory representation of the back causing increased pain and further contributing to the maladaptive behavior and beliefs. Cognitive behavioral treatment has been an important intervention for psychological disorders for decades and recently has gained a lot of interest as an intervention for chronic pain in general and CLBP in specific. HYPOTHESES: It will be hypothesized that: Cognitive behavioural therapy will have a significant effect on centrally sensitized pain intensity and disability. RESEARCH QUESTION:" Does cognitive behavioral therapy have a significant effect on chronic low back pain with central sensitization"
Chronic low-back pain (CLBP) is a heterogeneous group of disorders, which according to the new classification of the International Association for Pain Research (IASP), is recognized as an independent entity and belongs to a mixed type of pain caused by central sensitization , which is present for more than 12 weeks. Studies have found that lumbar segmental instability (LSI) is one of the most significant cause of lumbar pain through the movement of each spinal segment where degenerative changes were observed in the discs. The aim of this study was to compare the program of lumbar stabilization exercises in the open and closed kinetic chain, in relation to the program of lumbar stabilization exercises and thoracic mobilization in a closed kinetic chain, to evaluate the clinical efficacy of both exercise programs and determine whether initial pain intensity values and disability levels affect the outcome of patients with chronic low back pain. The study was conducted as randomized, single-blind, controlled trial in 80 chronic low-back pain (CLBP) patients of both sexes (35 male, 45 female), average age (48.45 +/- 10.22 years, treated at the Rehabilitation Clinic "Dr. Miroslav Zotović" in Belgrade between June 2017 and March 2018. Respondents were divided into two groups of 40 patients by simple randomization. Participants were given laser therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and an eight-week kinesiotherapy that included exercises to strengthen the deep lumbar spine stabilizers. Retesting was done after 4 and 8 weeks. Patients who performed lumbar stabilization and thoracic mobilization exercises program in a closed kinetic chain had better functional recovery and a significant reduction in pain intensity compared to respondents who performed a lumbar stabilization program in opened and closed kinetic chain.
Purpose: This is a randomized clinical trial comparing the effects of three different medications for acute low back pain (LBP):Ketorolac, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac Hypothesis: A daily regimen of ketorolac will provide greater relief of LBP than ibuprofen or diclofenac 5 days after an emergency department (ED) visit, as measured by the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMQ)
Low back pain (LBP) is ranked as one of the most prevalent health conditions. It is likely that some inflammatory mediators could be associated with pain and disability in these patients. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-pharmacological therapy often used in patients with LBP that decrease release of inflammatory mediators and accelerate muscle repair in different muscle skeletal conditions, as mechanisms of action. The present research project aims to evaluate the effects of PBMT on systemic levels of inflammatory markers and levels of pain intensity in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
This study aims to verify the influence of the Pilates Method on the improvement of pain in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain
This study investigates the effect of a secondary intervention program for low back pain in patients with recurrent low back pain. One third of the subject will receive no therapy, one third wil receive 2 sessions of pain neuroscience education (PNE) and one third will receive two sessions of PNE and 5 sessions of exercise therapy over 6 weeks.
