Filter by:This is a single-site, randomized, Single-blinded, placebo-controlled, trial of Transcutaneous Magnetic Stimulation (TCMS) for the treatment of lower back pain. TCMS will be applied locally to the back in the location of a patient's pain.
The investigators are assessing the validity of fitness devices as surrogate measures of chronic pain survey outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if high-intensity resistance training can induce additional beneficial effects, for patients with moderate to severe long term pain in the low back, when added to a multidisciplinary treatment program.
The Purpose of this trial is to define the characteristics of the in/outpatients with low back pain in traditional Korean medicine rehabilitation clinic. This information will create a registry that will help us to compare similarities and differences in patients and their symptoms. The more patients the investigators are able to enter into the registry, the more the investigators will be able to understand the low back pain and learn better ways of caring for patients.
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mesoblast's rexlemestrocel-L alone or combined with hyaluronic acid (HA) in participants with chronic low back pain (> 6 months) associated with moderate radiographic degenerative changes of a disc.
The INSIGHT pilot study will measure forces applied by a doctor of chiropractic (DC) during the delivery of a specific, manually based chiropractic treatment for participants with low back pain.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is very common and causes much pain and disability. It costs the NHS billions of pounds in treatment every year and is the second leading cause of time off work. There are various treatments for CLBP, but the most effective are still only moderately helpful. Most people with CLBP receive physiotherapy, with varying results. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) may offer more long term help than current treatments because it enables people to self-manage their condition. A new type of CBT, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), has produced particularly good results for chronic pain. However, a shortage of clinical psychologists means that most patients never receive CBT. Physiotherapists can successfully use CBT techniques with extra training, but this is not standard practice and ACT-based physiotherapy treatment has never been tested. The investigators have developed a short ACT-based treatment (PACT) for physiotherapists to deliver and aim to compare it with usual physiotherapy care. The investigators will recruit 240 people with CLBP from three hospitals in South East London. They will be randomly divided into two groups, with half receiving PACT and the other half ordinary physiotherapy. PACT consists of two hour long sessions and one follow-up phone call, meaning fewer hospital visits for patients and more time during sessions for individualised treatment. It aims to encourage people to focus less on getting rid of their pain and more on moving forward with what is most important in their lives. The investigators will compare PACT with usual physiotherapy to see which is most successful at improving people's ability to function and their quality of life and which approach helps them to manage their back pain best in the long term. If PACT is effective, the investigators believe it could reduce the considerable burden of CLBP to patients, the NHS and society.
High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) manipulation is a known technique of the Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) for somatic dysfunction (SD), and heart rate variability and H-reflex response are possible variables to assess its neurophysiological effects. Somatic dysfunction is an impairment or altered function of related components of the somatic system. Studies show a transient attenuation of α-motor neuron excitability after HVLA manipulation in asymptomatic participants. According to studies, HVLA spinal manipulation increases joint mobility by blocking afferent impulses in the muscle spindle and the small-diameter free nerve, decreasing the γ-motor neuron activity.
The purpose of this study is to study acupuncture for the treatment of low back pain in the emergency department. Current treatments for low back pain in the emergency department generally include pills or injections of medications to treat pain and relax muscles. However, it is known that many of these medications have risks and toxicities which may limit their safe use in some patients. Therefore, new types of treatments are needed. Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing that has been practiced in some form for centuries. In modern times, acupuncture has been studied for the long-term treatment of low back pain and some research suggests it may be effective. However, very little research has examined the use of acupuncture for immediate pain relief in the emergency department. This research will study a type of acupuncture called Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA). Battlefield acupuncture was designed by a physician in the US military with the purpose of providing immediate pain relief. It involves the placement of 5 small needles in each ear. The needles may be removed at any time. The hypothesis of this study is that battlefield acupuncture may improve mobility and pain of patients with low back pain in the emergency department.
Mental disorders is one of the most frequent causes of long-term sick leave and disability pensions in Norway, and there is a need for a comprehensive, coordinated response from health and social sectors at the country level to address the burden of mental disorders. The aim of this project is to investigate if a workplace intervention with the aim to increase coping of common mental health complaints and social support can reduce sick leave and improve health.
