Filter by:The cognitive educational strategies such as neuroscience pain education, has been a popular and promising technique for treatment patients with chronic pain. However, there are not sufficient randomized controlled and blinded studies to explore clinical effectiveness of these techniques. Therefore, the aim of this study was determining the short- and mid-term effects of neuroscience pain education combined with manual therapy and home exercise on pain level, disability, and kinesiophobia in patients with chronic low back pain.
Prospective Observation Study of the Effect of Chuna Manipulation Therapy on Gait in Patients With Lumbar Disc Herniation
To determine if there is any carry over difference between the type of education provided about common treatment techniques for patients with low back pain. This will be looked at right after treatment and when patients return on their second visit after they do a common exercise program for a few days.
This study compares the effectiveness of manual therapy (osteopathy) on infant colic versus education to the family, and a third group with no specific intervention.
Pregnant women often suffer from lumbar pain , specially during the last semester . Usually physiotherapy and manual therapy on TRIGGER point help them . But there is also another type of support , the Kinesio-Taping using the pose of a strip which aims to mobilize the muscle without any restriction. The purpose is to reduce the pain with the combo therapy (TRIGGER point plus Kinesi Taping)
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical effects of spinal mobilization versus vertebral resonant oscillation (POLD) in patients with bilateral mechanical neck pain on pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity.
The study purpose is to compare the effects of Fascial Manipulation added to standard exercises protocol versus the simple exercises protocol.
Objectives: Determine the efficacy of the SNAG technique (Mulligan) applied to a subgroup of people with non-specific low back pain (LBP) on two new kinematic-algorythms, on pain, functional disability and kinesiophobia. Design: A randomized double blinded placebo controlled trial with double arms in accordance with the CONSORT statement. Subjects: Patients with non-specific low back pain will be recruting from Saint-Luc hospital, only a subgroup of them will be included according to specific inclusion criteria tailored for indication of application of SNAG's therapy (Mulligan technique applied on the lumbar spine). Method: Subjects will be randomized in 2 groups; real-SNAG and sham-SNAG groups. All patients will be treated during a single session, and real/sham SNAG will be applied from a sitting position with the belt, and in a flexion direction. Two kinematic-algorythms (ROM and Speed) from a validated kinematic spine model will be used and recorded with an opto-electronic device (BTS-Elite). Pain at rest and during flexion, as well as functional disability and kinesiophobia will be recorded by self-reported measures. These outcomes will be blindly evaluated before and after treatment to compare both groups with " Two-Way-ANOVA " statistic with for factors; time and groups.
