Filter by:This study is designed as a pre and post experimental study. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the effect of core muscles training in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain according to SALIBA'S postural classification system (SPCS) in terms of pain intensity, function, and core muscles endurance.
case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Foot Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome". This syndrome was reported in 11 patients (6 males and 5 females) out of 4000 patients with a history of chronic low back pain (CLBP) throughout 2 to 6 years in an outpatient clinic in Egypt from 2016 to 2022.
A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
This study is a randomized controlled trial that plans to enroll 50 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants will be in the study for 8 weeks and the study aim is to test different combinations hypnosis audio recordings to see which recordings participants like the best and lead to greatest reductions in pain. The investigators hope to develop a mobile app using participants' feedback to make hypnosis treatment for chronic pain more widely available. The investigators plan to develop and commercialize this app through HypnoScientific Inc., a company that is co-owned by the investigators. Participants will complete brief (15-20min) surveys that ask about pain and mental health at three timepoints: Baseline (week 0), 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
Low back pain is currently considered to be the most common cause of disability.When low back pain occurs sensitivity of body increases which decreases overall body activity.Physical inactivity negatively effects recovery from chronic low back pain.Patients with chronic low back pain experience psychological anxiety and depression which leads to fear of pain and movement.There are various treatment options for chronic low back pain.But most treatment options deal with biomedical aspect of disease.Pain neuroscience education deals with psychological aspect of disease.By combining both treatment options we will be able to evaluate the combined biopsychosocial aspect of treatment.This study will mainly focus on the education of patients regarding neuroscience be hind their chronic low back pain.
The BEST Trial (Biomarkers for Evaluating Spine Treatments) is a NIAMS-sponsored clinical trial being conducted through the NIH HEAL Initiative's Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program. The primary objective of this trial is to inform a precision medicine approach to the treatment of Chronic Low-Back Pain by estimating an algorithm for optimally assigning treatments based on an individual's phenotypic markers and response to treatment. Interventions being evaluated in this trial are: (1) enhanced self-care (ESC), (2) acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), (3) evidence-based exercise and manual therapy (EBEM), and (4) duloxetine.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to assess outcomes for virtual reality therapy (including pain intensity, pain interference, anxiety, depression, physical function, sleep, behavioral skills development, health outcomes and satisfaction) along with healthcare utilization and costs in participants with Chronic Low Back Pain.
The main goal of the BackInAction research study is to determine the effectiveness of a standard course of acupuncture (15 sessions of acupuncture over 3 months) and an enhanced course of acupuncture (an additional 6 sessions of acupuncture over months 4-6) in improving back-related disability in older adults (65+ years) with chronic low back pain compared to usual care alone. Key secondary aims are to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving a composite score of pain intensity and pain interference.
This is a development study with clinical outcomes. The investigators aim to develop and test an 8-week MBPR (Mindfulness-Based Pain Reduction) program, which draws on intervention work and clinical experience in the investigative team to optimize a mindfulness-based intervention for individuals with chronic pain. The overall goal of this study is to ensure that the MBPR program has been carefully refined and manualized in an in-person setting before performing clinical trials comparing MBPR to MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) to test whether it improves pain outcomes. This study includes a Pain Attention Task that separates insula activation during experimental heat application between different pain attention conditions.
This prospective observation multifaceted study aims: 1. To perform a large prospective study and identify multiple "omics" biomarkers in chronic low back pain 2. To validate identified biomarkers for progression of acute to chronic low back pain 3. To validate identified biomarkers and test their heritability/validity in additional cohorts 4. To identify pathways and relevant individual variations for generation, propagation and subsidence of pain 5. To identify new imaging biomarkers related to chronic low back pain 6. To develop a registry of neck and low back pain subjects to help monitor the health-care management and utility to improve protocols and patient outcomes.
