Filter by:The effects of passive music listening on pain, anxiety and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain in addition to physical therapy will be examined.
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of CLE-400 topical gel for the treatment of chronic pruritus in adult subjects with Notalgia Paresthetica (NP).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of high-intensity laser acupuncture on peak torque, power of trunk extensors and flexors, back pain, range of motion, function, and satisfaction in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP).
To examine the relationships between lumbopelvic sagittal alignment parameters (lumbar lordosis, sacral slope, pelvic tilt, and pelvic incidence) and balance control in adolescents with mechanical low back pain.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal symptom in athletes. More than 40% percent of high school baseball players reported incidents of LBP during the previous year. University baseball athletes were 3.23 times more likely to have lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration than the nonathletic university students. According to the regional interdependence model, a patient's chief complaints may be directly or indirectly related to or influenced by physical impairments from various body systems and regardless of proximity to the primary symptom(s). Athletes with a chief complaint of LBP frequently demonstrate with mobility restrictions in the thoracic spine and hips, which may contribute to compensatory hypermobility in the lumbar spine and subsequently lead to LBP. Few studies have examined the relationship between thoracic spine mobility and LBP, while many studies investigating the relationship between hip joint mobility and LBP in athletes showed inconsistent results. The inconsistent results may be due to different types of sports and measurement methods. Therefore, the objectives of this research project are to: (1) examine if baseball players with a history of LBP have mobility restriction in the thoracic spine and hips and movement coordination within the spine and hip regions during baseball batting that are different from those without a history of LBP; (2) identify thoracic spine and hip joint mobility and coordination related predictors for batting velocity and LBP in baseball players. This 2-year research project plans to recruitment a total of 110 male baseball players aged between 18 and 30 years from university and community recreational league baseball teams (55 players with a history of LBP and 55 age-matched players without a history of LBP). Participants will receive physical examination for the thoracic spine and hip joints (joint mobility and muscle stiffness) and 3D motion analysis for baseball batting. The results of this research project will guide the development of more specific and effective treatment and preventative training for baseball players with LBP and enhance their batting performance.
Spondyloarthrosis is a degenerative disease involving the intervertebral disc, vertebral bodies, and adjacent soft tissues. Treatment aims to slow disease progression and manage symptoms through an interdisciplinary approach.It can be conservative, pharmacological and interventional, rarely chirurgic. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program combined with Pridinol Mesylate in the treatment of Spondyloarthrosis in elderly patients in terms of pain resolution, improving disability, and quality of life versus single treatment. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients with spondyloarthritis. The patients recruited were divided into three groups: the Combined Group (CG), who received a rehabilitation program combined with Pridinol Mesylate; the Rehabilitation Group (RG), who received only the same rehabilitation program; and the Drug Group (DG), who received only the administration of the drug.
The creation of a clinical database including patients who suffer from low back pain and underwent a lumbar spine MRI Exam. This database will allow us to : - Collect patients symptoms, medical history, and MRI exams - Launch the annotation of the MRI exams by expert radiologists - Link and relate information between the exams and the diagnostic done by the experts - Train and develop a diagnostic platform for th spinal pathologies based on artificial intelligence.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical aspects and to investigate the therapeutic effects of combined therapy with laser on back pain.
The global rise in lower-limb amputations is mainly due to diabetes and vascular complications. Amputations cause serious physical and psycho-social disabilities which impair locomotion and compromise patients quality of life. Biopsychosocial factors such as altered gait parameters, poor prosthetic fit, depression, fear avoidance behaviours and stigma increase the risk of individuals incurring lower back pain; the leading cause of secondary disability amongst persons with lower-limb amputation. Exploring the potential mechanistic pathways of lower back pain development is important to inform timely patient-centred programmes of care. Currently, limited information exists to inform the design of such programmes. Thus, there is a pressing need to understand the bio-behavioural, psychological, and social features of individuals with lower-limb amputation in the presence of lower back pain.
Targeting non-operative Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients, including those who are braced and non-braced, this research project at Johns Hopkins Hospital seeks to revolutionize the treatment approach for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. This innovative study compares traditional physical therapy with a yoga-based intervention, focusing on alleviating back pain and enhancing quality of life in this specific patient group. This research is anchored in substantial existing evidence that highlights the physiological and psychological benefits of yoga and is in alignment with current AIS treatment strategies. Addressing the urgent need for diverse non-operative management strategies for AIS, this study is particularly timely given the challenges in accessing physical therapy and the growing concerns over opioid use. The investigators exploration of structured yoga protocols aims to introduce a viable alternative therapy, providing significant relief and improving the quality of life for AIS patients who are not candidates for surgery. By integrating cutting-edge healthcare solutions with the increasing interest in yoga in the U.S., this project aims to establish a new benchmark in non-surgical AIS treatment that is both effective and accessible to a wide range of patients
