Filter by:Work-related attention bias modification training and virtual reality training in occupational rehabilitation is a multisite pilot study. The quantitative aim of this pilot study is to compared virtual reality (VR) training and attention bias modication (ABM) training to investigate whether the different training forms result in different results measured with work-related outcomes and cognitive outcomes. The qualitative aim of this pilot study is to investigate the patients' experiences with the usage of VR. Three rehabilitation insitutions will be recruiting patients participating in occupational rehabilitation, and the study will compare the outcomes of work-related interventions with and without the addition of ABM or VR training. The study seeks to determine if these interventions can improve work ability, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and change attentional bias from negative to positive stimuli.
Registry is to observe and trend patterns of care and outcomes for patients treated with VIA Disc NP.
Evaluation of a bloodletting acupuncture at the fossa poplitea in comparison to bloodletting acupuncture at the regio glutaea and a waiting list control group in patients with subacute and chronic non-specific pain low back pain.
Prediabetes, characterized by elevated HbA1c levels, is a common precursor to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested a potential link between prediabetes and nonspecific back pain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess whether reducing HbA1c levels through lifestyle interventions and, along with the correction of vitamin D and magnesium, can alleviate nonspecific back pain in prediabetic patients.
This research study will help determine whether a medication called duloxetine can improve back pain. It is well documented that many participants who come to the ER with acute low back pain still have low back pain 3 months later. The investigator team will attempt to determine whether duloxetine can help prevent this.
There is marked uncertainty regarding the feasibility of achieving adequate blinding in randomized controlled trials of manual therapy. In other words, whether participants and outcome assessors can accurately perceive randomly assigned interventions is unclear. This feasibility trial was conducted as part of a doctoral epidemiology course at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Within the practice-based context of the class and using a study population of healthy graduate students enrolled in the course, the investigators aimed to evaluate blinding of participants randomly assigned (similar to tossing a coin) to one of two manual therapy interventions (active versus control). The investigators also aimed to assess blinding among outcome assessors.
A high-frequency impulse therapy (HFIT) device (Enso, San Francisco, CA) is a portable device for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. This three-arm randomized controlled trial study compares a HFIT group to a standard transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) group and a control group.
This study aims to compare two different spinal manual therapy interventions of the back to determine if they are viable and acceptable for a future study investigating the treatment of patients with back pain. The two proposed spinal manual therapy interventions are widely used in the fields of chiropractic, physical therapy, osteopathy, and manual medicine to treat back pain and improve function. This is a randomized study, meaning that participants are randomly assigned (like tossing a coin) to one of two manual spinal therapy interventions.
The general objective of this pilot study is to investigate a new multi-level intervention in primary care to improve the care of patients with low back pain. Specifically, it will first investigate the feasibility of delivering this intervention in primary care in Switzerland. Second, it will evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on the use of unnecessary imaging and unhelpful medication in primary care, the risk of developing chronic disabling care, and direct and indirect healthcare costs. In this two-arm parallel pilot study, it is the general practitioners that will be recruited to be in either arm. In the intervention group, they will deliver the multi-level intervention that consists of: - Stratifying care based on the risk of chronicity - Improving healthcare professional education - Improving patient education - Facilitating interprofessional communication General practitioners in the control group will have no specific training or intervention. They will treat patients according to their usual practice.
