Filter by:This study will compare two methods of electrical stimulation (alternating current and direct current) as an adjunctive therapy to treating lumbosacral radiculopathy. Both types of electrical stimulation have been used in clinical practice for physical therapy, however direct current stimulation is much less common and there is less known about its impact on physical therapy outcomes. The aim of this project is to show the efficacy of a novel device, the Neubie direct current device, compared to traditional TENS unit in clinical physical therapy treatment of radiculopathy. Outcomes measured will include: pain intensity, functional status, neurological status, electrophysiological changes and patient satisfaction.
Cervical radiculopathy is a peripheral nervous system condition characterized by pathology of the cervical nerve root. Laser guided proprioceptive exercises shows positive impact in improving Joint sense error. The aim of this study is to investigate how proprioceptive exercises laser guided exercises, in addition to conventional exercises, affect cervical range of motion, pain, functional disability, and joint position sense error in patients with cervical radiculopathy. This randomized Controlled trial will be conducted at Islam central hospital, Sialkot. The sample size will consist of 52 participants. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be taken through a non-probability convenience sampling technique. 26 participants will be assigned to the group A and 26 participants to group B. Group A will receive laser guided exercises along with routine physical therapy whereas Group B will only receive routine physical therapy. All participants will receive a 50-minute session daily, 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Data will be collected using various assessment tools, Numeric pain rating scale will be use to assess the Pain, Bubble in-clinometer to assess Cervical range of motion, Laser tracker to assess Joint sense position error and Neck disability Index to assess functional disability. Pre-intervention assessment will be conducted before starting the treatment protocol and post assessment after 4 weeks of treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination product "Histograft", a bone substitute based on octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and plasmid DNA encoding VEGFA gene, in spinal fusion prosedure in comparison with bone autografts and synthetic material based on β-TCP
This study will be a randomized clinical trial in which Slider versus Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization will be applied on the individuals with cerviculorediculopathy and changes will be recorded using different methods and tools. Convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 40 patients will be recruited. Patients will be randomly allocated into two different groups through sealed envelope method.20 patients will be allocated in each group A will be treated with Slider Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique; Group B will be treated with Tensioners Nerve Gliding Technique along with Mulligan Spinal Mobilization Technique .Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Neck Disability Index (NDI) and goniometer will be used as Data collecting tools. After data collection from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed.
Lumber radiculopathy, also known as sciatica, is a condition that causes pain in the lower back and legs due to irritation or compression of the spinal nerves. group between 20 and 50 years old. This study will explore the effects of lumbar spine mobilization with leg movement and spinal traction with and without belt in patients with pain and functional limitations due to lumbar radiculopathy. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Atta Jaspal Hospital and Trauma Center through convenient sampling technique on 44 patients, which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque envelopes into groups A and B. Group A will be treated with SMWLM, conventional electrotherapy, and traction without a belt, and Group B will be treated with SMWL, conventional electrotherapy, and lumbar traction with a belt. A pretreatment baseline will be set for pain, ROM, and disability at the lumbar spine by using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questioner. Follow-up will be conducted after 4 weeks of post-treatment sessions. The intensity of pain, range of motion, and disability index will be evaluated using the NPRS, inclinometer, and ODI questionnaire. The data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 26. The conclusion of the study will be based on either accepting or rejecting the null and alternate hypotheses.
The management of chronic lumbar radicular and neuropathic pain is complex and the treatment success rates are low. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) has been described in these cases. In order to determine whether high-voltage PRF show better results than PRF a prospective, doble-blinded and randomized study is conducted in patients with chronic lumbar radicular and neuropathic pain.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is thought to impact radiculopathy symptoms. The pressure exerted by fatty tissue on muscle tissue can also significantly affect the nerves. This condition causes radiculopathy. Therefore, high BMI causes an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. Consequently, it is thought that pain caused by cervical radiculopathy may be related to BMI and affect functionality. Also, it is believed that with the increase in the load on the cervical region, there will be an increase in degenerative disorders and an increase in the incidence of radiculopathy. This study examines the relationship between BMI and peripheral muscle strength, pain, range of motion, disability, quality of life, and functionality in patients with cervical radiculopathy.
Radiculopathy is a clinical condition which involves one or more nerves resulting in impaired function. The site of injury in radiculopathy is at the level of the spinal nerve root. The result is pain known as radicular pain, weakness in limb, numbness, paresthesia and difficulty in controlling specific muscles. The objective of the study will be to see the effects of myofacsial release and nerve flossing technique on pain and disability in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
-The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .The main question it aims to answer is: Is there an impact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy ? The participants will be undergone measuring the cranio-vertebral angle ,assessment of cervical proprioception and other tasks and questions through 3scales . Researchers will compare between study group and control group to see if there isimpact of the changes in cranio-vertebral angle on the cervicogenic dizziness and the risk of falling in the patients with cervical radiculopathy .
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of performing combined lumbar traction and repeated back extension exercise (McKenzie) on soleus H-reflex, pain, and disability in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. The main question that it aims to answer is: Does the combination of lumbar traction and back extension exercise (McKenzie) improves soleus H-reflex, pain, and function in patient with lumbosacral radiculopathy? participants will be randomized into 2 groups: one group will include repeated back extension exercise (McKenzie Approach) without mechanical traction and the other group will include the same but in combination with mechanical traction.
