Filter by:Chronic low back pain is defined as back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of combining a program of manual techniques with the application of Capacitive and Resistive Electric Transfer (TECAR) therapy to treat chronic low back pain. Sixty adults with chronic low back pain will be randomly divided into three groups of 20 each. In the participants of the first group, a therapeutic protocol of manual soft tissue mobilization in the lumbar region will be applied. To the participants of the second group, the same protocol of manual techniques will be applied in combination with TECAR therapy, which will be applied through a conventional capacitive electrode as well as an antistatic electrode bracelet (making the hand of the physical therapist an antistatic electrode). The third group participants will receive no treatment. Both programs will include six treatments over two weeks. Pain in the last 24 hours with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), functional ability with the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) in the lumbar region with an algometer, and lumbar flexion range of motion through fingertip-to-floor distance (FFD) test will be evaluated before and after the intervention with a follow-up one month later. For the statistical analysis of the results, a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements will be applied, while the statistical significance index will be set at p < .05.
Worksite based prolonged static sitting postures can cause musculoskeletal pain. While the development of pain increases due to the constant growth of digitalization at work, numerous interventions to reduce prolonged sitting periods have been created. The effects of such interventions have not yet been properly examined. Thus, the "DynSit-Pain" project was initiated to investigate the influence of dynamic sitting on the pain development of pain developers in office environments.
This study will be conducted toinvestigate the effect of Global Postural Re-education on low back pain patients with Lower cross syndrome
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of an online educational program for physical therapists to change back pain beliefs. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of an online educational program to change beliefs about the management of back pain in physical therapists? A total of 106 physical therapists will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a 6-week online educational program including recommendations from international clinical practice guidelines for the management of back pain. The control group will not receive any intervention. The outcomes of this trial include beliefs about management of back pain and imaging exams and will be assessed at baseline and 6 weeks after randomization.
Lower back pain has been one of the most frequently occurring musculoskeletal disorder among the females. This act as a global burden and is highly prevalent in our society. This pain can result in life long disability, loss of function and mobility among individuals. The female of the society suffers from lower back pain the most because of the under lying causes, prolong standing and stooping as well as because of hormonal changes in their bodies
This study aims to compare the two groups of low back pain and health adults. To investigate the relationship among lumbar movement control, standing balance and physical activity. Methods used in the study will be clinical tools such as proprioception test, lumbar movement control, timed one-leg- standing balance and Y-balance test according to the Mat.
The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of auricular vagus nerve stimulation and conventional physical therapy in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CBA). 60 patients, aged between 18 and 60, with persistent low back pain for the last 3 months and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study will be included in the study. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups as conventional therapy (Group I) and auricular vagus stimulation therapy (Group II). Patient Identification Form, Oswestry Disability Index, Lumbal Region Joint Range of Motion and Mobility (Inclinometer, Modified Schober Test, Hand Finger-Ground Distance Test), muscle strength (CSMI-Cybex Humac-Norm isokinetic dynamometer and Lafayette manual muscle strength measuring device) in the evaluation of patients with CKD and endurance tests, postural control and balance assessment (BBS, Biodex Medical Systems), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (PUKÖ). After the measurements on the 1st day, 15 sessions of application and the measurements will be repeated the day after the last session. A home exercise program will be created for the patients in both groups. Statistical analysis will be calculated using SPSS for Windows 22 program.
The investigators will examine the prevalence of low-back pain and disc degeneration among Finnish elite skiers between 16 and 35 years of age and compare these findings with the data collected among healthy volunteers studied between 1994-2021.
We aimed to investigate the effects of instrument assisted manipulation (IAM) and Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) on joint range of motion (ROM), pain, proprioception, endurance, back awareness and disability in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Fifthy one participants were randomly divided into 3 groups. The first was the Mulligan group, the second was the IAM group, and the third was the core exercise group. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain severity. Lumbal flexibility was evaluated with the fingertip-to-floor test. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) used to evaluate the disability. Fremantle back awareness questionnaire (FBAQ) used to evaluate back awareness. Joint ROM (lumbal flexion, lumbal extension and lumbal lateral flexion) and proprioception (30° lumbal flexion in standing, 30° lumbal flexion in sitting, 15° lumbal extension standing and lumbal neutral position) evaluated with JTECH digital dual inclinometer. McGill core endurance tests were used for core endurance assessment. McGill core endurance assessment consists of 3 tests. These: Flexor endurance test, lateral endurance test and extensor endurance test.
A treatment centered on the person uses an approach capable of considering all the components of disability, from a physical, psychological and social point of views. Some studies have shown that sexual function is disturbed in subjects with low back pain (LBP) and sexual disability can contribute to a deterioration in quality of life. It has also been shown that, in sexually active patients complaining of LBP, sexuality is a significant mediator of the relationship between pain intensity and depressive symptoms. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) includes a specific item to investigate sexual function (item #8). A previous study of ours confirmed the relationship between sexual disability detected by the ODI and the presence of depression, avoidance of activities and rumination (Ferrari et al. 2019 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1589/jpts.31.360). The discussion on sexual disability among patients and healthcare professionals is very limited, although patients require more involvement from clinicians, especially physiotherapists, as evidenced by our previous qualitative study (Ferrari et al. 2020 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1080/09638288.2020 .1817161). Although studies on this topic have highlighted the importance of this disability in the life of subjects complaining of LBP, little has been investigated on clinical behaviors of the physiotherapists in this area.
