Filter by:The main objetive of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a home rehabilitaton program vs a e-Health program. Therapeutic approach will be by electroanalgesia and exercise of patients with chronic low back pain.
Physical exercises proves to be an option to revert a vicious cycle and aggravation of the painful that chronic low back pain can provide, which can improve the mobility and stabilization of the spine, muscle strength, motor coordination and general aerobic conditioning. In addition, photobiomodulation using light emitting diodes (LEDs) has attracted attention for acute and chronic pain and wound healing, being used as a resource for prevention and recovery of lesions. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the efficacy of aerobic training systematized with Deep Water Running associated with photobiomodulation in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Individuals of both sexes, sedentary, who present chronic low back pain, aged between 30 and 55 years (middle-aged individuals) who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be invited to participate. Anthropometric measurements, maximal stress test, functional tests, physiological measures and questionnaires concerning disability and pain, besides psychological ones, will be carried out. After the evaluations, the participants will be randomized into three experimental groups with 15 participants in each: the first group will be the training group that will hold interval training sessions in addition to continuous training sessions (GT). The second group will perform the same training model, and before the training sessions the LED will be applied (GTL). And the third group will only receive the LED application (GL).
Low back pain (LBP) encompasses heterogeneous patients unlikely to respond to a unique treatment. Identifying sub-groups of low back pain may help to improve treatment outcomes. Our objective was to identify variables associated with a favorable outcome in soldiers with sub-acute and chronic LBP participating in a multi-station full-body supervised exercise program. The results obtained may permit generation of potential treatment effect modifiers that will eventually have to be validated before being recommended for clinical practice.
This study will measure the effects of interactive, whole-body video games on movement behavior in people with chronic low back pain.
This study evaluates psychophysical measures of pain inhibition and facilitation, along with cortical responses to different sensory stimuli, in patients with recurrent low back pain and matched healthy individuals.
Digital body charts are used to assess the pain experience in people with pain. People are asked to report their pain by shading a human body template on a digital tablet. The aim of this study is to investigate whether people with chronic low back pain, compared to healthy volunteers, consistently locate on a digital body chart all nociceptive stimuli induced in the lumbar region.
The aims of this study are to examine the effectiveness of functional range conditioning in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain in terms of improving hip internal rotation and strength of the hip abductors, and reducing pain and disability.
Low back pain is the most common health problem that affects work performance and quality of life. Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognizable, known specific pathology. NSLBP is the leading cause of disability among the major musculoskeletal conditions which leads to Impairments, Activity Limitations and participation restrictions. Therefore it becomes a psychosocial/economic burden on individuals, families, communities, industries and government. Existing literature shows globally 40% to 50% of people have LBP at some point in their lives and there exists a challenge in Africa on the best rehabilitation methods for low back pain management which could prevent chronic pain and disability. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of MET when combined with DSE in the management of chronic NSLBP patients and to analyze the additional effect the MET procedure will provide relative to DSE.
Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most common musculoskeletal disorder and a leading cause of disability worldwide. It is the most frequent reason for consulting general practice and has an impact on daily life and work capacity. A cornerstone in treating LBP is the provision of information to patients, and the internet is increasingly being used as a source of health information delivery. However, the effect of and satisfaction with online information have been questioned. The investigators aimed to develop and validate a multi-item instrument to measure an index score of satisfaction of online information for patients with LBP. The conceptualization of a Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) to measure a multidimensional index score is modelled on the assumption of a causal relationship between domains of experiences with online information and patients' combined index score of satisfaction. Findings from 15 patient interviews was applied to draft the first version of the instrument. Followed by pilot testing on patients (n=20) and experts (n=7) before validating the instrument on patients (n=150). Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had their first onset of LBP for 14 days. Patients were included regardless of pain intensity. Patients were excluded if they did not have Internet access, were pregnant, did not speak Danish as their native language, or had signs of serious underlying disease.
A gap of knowledge exists on the understanding of the acute effects of stabilization exercises on pain, disability and physical performance when applied after radiofrequency denervation. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to show the effects of stabilization exercises when started in acute period and also reduce the frequency of recurrence low back pain of patients with FJS after radiofrequency denervation.
