Filter by:In this study evaluated the prevalence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction in patients with lumbar disc hernia and examined the variations in clinical parameters cause by this combination.
Low back pain is a common condition that affects 70% of people at least once. Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction (SIJD) is a skipped health problem that is ignored in patients with low back or hip pain. Fluoroscopy-guided SIJ injection showed that SIJD is a source of pain in 13-30% of patients with chronic low back pain. Inadequate function of SIJ leads to abnormal gait pattern, pain during walking, increase in load on discs, long-term interdisciplinary stability and causing to increase of the listhesis. The pain worsens with running, climbing stairs or standing up from the sitting position. Pharmacological, non-pharmacological and if required surgical treatment may be applied in the osteoarthritis treatment. Non-pharmacological treatment includes patient education, exercise, massaging, SIJ, manipulation-mobilization, chiropractic applications, physical therapy modalities, use of the assistive device. Kinesio Taping is a treatment that has not been studied much and can be applied in SIJD. When investigators reviewed the literature, investigators found a study and a case report investigating the activity of Kinesio taping in sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Although the mechanism of Kinesio taping cannot be understood, it is claimed that it has four beneficial effects: normalizes muscular function, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces pain, regulates possible disorders of joints. In studies showing the effectiveness of Kinesio banding in the reduction of pain in health problems related to the waist area with the highest number of publications, it was noted that the pain was reduced rapidly within three days, decreased the need for analgesics within two weeks and increased function in daily living activities.
The purpose of the research project is to compare the effectiveness of non-thrust mobilization and exercise versus thrust manipulation and dry needling in patients with sacroiliac dysfunction. Physical therapists commonly use both approaches to treat sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and this study is attempting to determine if one approach is more effective than the other.
Trial will enroll qualified subjects at a 2:1 ration to receive radiofrequency ablation or sham. At six weeks follow up they will be unblinded; sham subjects will then be given option to receive treatment. Subjects will be followed after procedure for data collection for economic outcomes and efficacy of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship of pelvic blocking and protocol for cranial adjusting with specific pain areas as outlined by Dr. Bertrand DeJarnette in the Category II/sacroiliac protocol. An algometer will be used to determine the level of pain at specific points before and after each treatment of pelvic blocking with or without cranial adjusting.
