Filter by: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.
This study is a First in Human, prospective, multi-center clinical study intended to collect safety and performance information for the Spinal Stabilization Technologies PerQdisc® Nucleus Replacement System and procedure concurrently following a successful discectomy using a minimally invasive posterolateral (MIPL) approach. Patients that are at least 21 years or older, presenting with symptomatic radiculopathy from a focal lumbar disc herniation that requires surgical decompression will be included in this study.
This will be a placebo controlled, randomized, double-blind, comparative effectiveness study, in which we patients are enrolled during an emergency department (ED) visit for acute radicular low back pain (LBP) and followed by telephone two and seven days later. Patients will be randomized to receive an oral dose of dexamethasone for 2 consecutive days or placebo during an ED visit for acute radicular LBP. Every patient will receive a 7 day supply of ibuprofen and a low back pain education session.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of land based versus water based perturbation exercises on the pain, disability, fear of falling, and fear avoidance beliefs in elderly participants. Overweight/obese subgroup was compared with healthy weight with chronic low back pain participants to investigate any effect on BMI on both interventions. The results of the study revealed that both exercise groups i.e., land and water based exercise had a significant reduction in pain level, fear of falling, fear avoidance belief related to work, disability and improved SLR.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a widely applied therapy to treat chronic neuropathic pain, and one of the most common indications is persisting radicular neuropathic pain following lumbar spine surgery. In traditional SCS therapies, the objective has been to replace the pain sensation with paresthesia. The anticipation is that the electrical current alters pain processing by masking the sensation of pain with a comfortable tingling or paresthesia. Although patients mostly cope with paresthesia, a significant proportion reports that the sensation is unpleasant. 'Burst' SCS utilizes complex programming to deliver high-frequency stimuli. This SCS technique seems to provide paresthesia-free stimulation, resulting in better pain relief of low back and leg pain then traditional tonic stimulation. The widespread use of SCS has not been backed by solid evidence. The absence of placebo-controlled trials has long been an important point of criticism, but due to the nature of the intervention with sensation of paresthesia, studies with placebo control have so far not been considered possible. When 'burst' SCS is used the stimulation is often unnoticed by the patient, allowing comparison with placebo stimulation. The aim of this randomized double-blind sham-controlled crossover trial is to evaluate the efficacy of 'burst' spinal cord stimulation for chronic radicular pain following spine surgery.
The objectives of this study are: 1)To investigate the difference in pain modulatory mechanisms using quantitative sensory testing (QST) between healthy controls and patients with radicular leg pain due to nerve root compression. 2) To investigate the association between changes in radiating leg pain and pain modulation among the patient group.

Study Design: Prospective, single-blinded, multi-center, randomized, controlled, pivotal study Study Objective: To evaluate if P-15L is not inferior in effectiveness and safety to local autologous bone (and allograft as extender where necessary) when applied in instrumented TLIF in subjects with Degenerative disc disease (DDD) Study Endpoints: Primary endpoint: Month 24 Composite Clinical Success (CCS): - Achievement of fusion (Evidence of continuous trabecular bridging bone in the intervertebral space) - At least 15-point improvement in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) - No new or worsening, persistent neurological deficit - No subsequent surgical intervention at the index level Once fusion is radiographically confirmed, it will be assumed that fusion has occurred at all subsequent time points without the need to reconfirm fusion status at later time points. Multiplicity Controlled Secondary endpoint: • Visit at which fusion is confirmed. Other Secondary endpoints: - Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, changes over time, and achievement of a 20 mm improvement (Back, left leg, right leg); - Physical Function and Mental Health Composite Scores (Short Form Health Survey SF-12 and changes over time).
In this research, the study team will use brain imaging to evaluate the presence of neuroinflammation in the brains and spinal cords of patients with low back pain. The efficacy of minocycline use for low back pain treatment will also be evaluated by observing whether short-term minocycline administration will reduce neuroinflammation and low back pain symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to examine the potential changes in levels of pain, quality of life (QoL) and activities of daily living (ADL) observed when transforaminal epidural steroid injection is administered in conjunction with pulsed radiofrequency treatment of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion during the initial 3 months follow-up period. Safety (monitoring side effects) of the treatment is determined. The study hypothesis is that the application of transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) in conjunction with pulsed radiofrequency treatment (PRF) treatment of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion would increase the treatment response of PRF and thereby provide a measurable difference in the pain scores, quality of life and activities of daily living for the patients suffering from chronic lumbosacral radicular pain.
