Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect lumbar rotations, velocity, and accelerations, along with pain scores using a novel dynamic VAS device, from twenty (20) Bertolotti Syndrome patients and twenty (20) non-Bertolotti low back pain patients during range-of-motion tasks. The assessments will be analyzed to determine the differences in kinematics and continuous pain scores between Bertolotti patients and non-Bertolotti low back pain patients.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of new implementation strategies designed to increase the number of Primary Care Providers (PCPs) referrals to chiropractic care for lower back pain (LBP) in underserved populations. The investigators plan to pilot the strategies in three qualified community health centers (CHCs) and compare the number of LBP patients who receive referrals before and after implementation. The implementation strategies involve PCP, patient, and organizational interventions. Patients presenting with LBP will be provided educational materials that focus on the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care as an evidence-based treatment for LBP. Materials will be available in CHC common areas and may be sent to patients by their PCP via patient portal. PCPs will participate in interactive lunch seminars to allow for inter-professional learning for PCPs. They will also participate in a survey regarding their attitudes and beliefs relating to chiropractic care. Currently, many PCPs cannot make chiropractic care referrals in the electronic health record (EHR). The investigators plan to add this option, or make it easier if the referral is already available. This multi-level, multi-component approach will last two months, and will be rolled out sequentially in three clinics using a stepped-wedge design. The ordering of clinics will be random. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with LBP who received a referral to chiropractic care before and after the intervention. Secondary outcomes include referral to any non-pharmacologic treatment, use of imaging, and prescribed medications.
The goal of this qualitative is to understand the views and opinions of patients with persistent lower back pain patients who are awaiting physiotherapy treatment with regards sleep their sleep health. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Identify whether Patients with persistent lower back pain awaiting physiotherapy consider sleep health relevant to their condition. - Understand whether persistent lower back pain patients awaiting physiotherapy consider sleep health within the remit of Physiotherapy? - Understand how persistent lower back pain patients may want sleep health to be assessed or managed within an outpatient musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Setting? Participants will undertake one semi structured interview and complete two secondary outcome measures: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Pain, Enjoyment of Life and General Activity Scale. Data will be analysed via Thematic Analysis.
Over the last years a rising medical need for treatment of chronic pain was identified. Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with chronic back pain disorders. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic back pain.

Based on previous findings indicating the pain modulating effects of cannabinoids in chronic pain disorders, this clinical trial investigates the long term efficacy and tolerability of the THC-focused nano endocannabinoid system modulator AP707 in patients with chronic back pain disorders. Patients receive AP707 or placebo over the course of 14 weeks as an add-on to the standard of care. Changes in pain intensity, quality of life and sleep and others measures are monitored through different scales to assess the efficacy of AP707 in patients with chronic back pain.
Worksite based prolonged static sitting postures can cause musculoskeletal pain. While the development of pain increases due to the constant growth of digitalization at work, numerous interventions to reduce prolonged sitting periods have been created. The effects of such interventions have not yet been properly examined. Thus, the "DynSit-Pain" project was initiated to investigate the influence of dynamic sitting on the pain development of pain developers in office environments.
Lower back pain has been one of the most frequently occurring musculoskeletal disorder among the females. This act as a global burden and is highly prevalent in our society. This pain can result in life long disability, loss of function and mobility among individuals. The female of the society suffers from lower back pain the most because of the under lying causes, prolong standing and stooping as well as because of hormonal changes in their bodies
The effectiveness of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to reduce pain scores for patients with acute back pain in an ambulatory emergency department (ED) population will be examined in this dual-center, cluster randomized, controlled, open-label study.
There is growing evidence on the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain and disability secondary to various disorders. However, very few studies have explored their effects in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Lower back pain, especially chronic, is a very complex condition that has different causes. There is no single pathophysiological mechanism that could explain the causes of low back pain. It is defined as non-specific and results in only symptomatic treatment. The mechanisms of pain overlap and combine with genetic, epigenetic, individual factors and lifestyle. On the other hand, when low back pain has a defined cause, the treatment can be causal. At the beginning of the treatment of patients with non-specific low back pain, identification of those that would probably need more complex treatment is tried. More complex patients, are also referred to physiotherapy, and those who are more likely to develop chronic back pain, should be also referred to a psychologist. An important place, to interrupt the back pain cycle has spine blockades, either local, trigger points blockades, or x-ray-guided blockades of facet joints or nerve roots.
