Filter by:The study determined the effects of manual Lumbar traction and prone traction on some clinical variables of patients with long standing low back pain.
The study format is a prospective non-randomized study to be conducted at a single site. Up to twenty consecutive DFLBP patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who provide informed consent will be enrolled in the study. The patients will receive treatment compliant with national guidelines. Appropriate patients will be injected with 0.5cc of ExoFlo into each of their affected facet joint(s). The facets to be treated will be determined by imaging and Dr. Wilson. Up to three vertebral levels can be treated. Patients will be assessed with pre and post-treatment physical examination. At baseline, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be documented. BPI and VAS scoring will be collected at 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after each treatment. Adverse events will be monitored by follow-up phone calls at 24, 48 hours, 1 week after the procedure and at all follow-up visits. Patients drug usage will be monitored. Patient will be instructed to call the office any time after treatment if they are experiencing any adverse events. A patient can leave the study at any time.
Low back pain is a common condition that occurs in up to 70% of the population in industrialized countries and is the second most common cause of work inability. Physiotherapy is the usual treatment for low back pain. Recent studies showed that combining theory-based psychological methods with physiotherapy can enhance the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment for people with chronic low back pain. One promising approach to treating chronic pain is PACT - Physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. PACT aims to increase psychological flexibility and focus on improving function rather than reducing pain. According to several studies, the effects of ACT can be maintained up to 3 years post-treatment, which is essential in a condition such as chronic pain and its typical relapses. According to self-determination theory (SDT), facilitating an environment of acceptance and autonomy support enhances treatment motivation, thus offering a good interface for applying SDT´s research concepts to ACT interventions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of physiotherapists´ autonomy-supportive behavior within PACT on the motivation process in chronic low back pain patients. Other objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of PACT on the functioning and disability due to CLBP, adherence to recommended physical activity, and the acceptance of pain. This prospective, randomized controlled trial will include 2 treatment groups (PACT treatment group and Usual physiotherapy Care group[UC]) in 1:1 ratio. Participants in the PACT treatment group will undergo a physiotherapy intervention guided by ACT principles. Participants randomized to UC will receive treatment considered suitable by their treating physiotherapist, including exercises based on the DNS concept and manual therapy. Regardless of group assignment, all participants will undergo 6 physiotherapy face-to-face interventions lasting 45 minutes, each once a week. Study outcomes will include measures of treatment motivation, perceived degree of autonomy support within the care settings, functioning, and disability, adherence to recommended physical activity, and acceptance of pain. While we acknowledge the value of usual physiotherapy care, CLBP is best suited to a biopsychosocial model for care. Further research is needed to understand which underlying processes and components are causing the improvement.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between pain, and balance, proprioception sensation in the knee, erector spinae and multifidus muscle strength in individuals with non-specific low back pain.
This will be a multicenter randomized crossover clinical trial comparing the therapeutic efficacy of BioWave therapy versus TENS for the management of chronic low back pain. This study also aims to evaluate the impact of these therapies on physical activity, patient perception of therapeutic efficacy, and activities of daily living.
The effect of magnetic tape on pain and autonomic nervous system in subject with lower back pain.
Cesarean delivery (CD) may trigger an increase in low back pain (LBP) intensity and induce core muscle weakness. This study will assess the correlation between low back pain intensity and core muscle strength of transverse abdominis and Lumbar multifidus among women who underwent CD and compare it with those without previous pregnancy.
This study is a double blind, randomized controlled trail. condition/disease: acute low back pain treatment/intervention: motion style acupuncture treatment
The aim of this study was to compare participants with increased symptoms after index pregnancy with those reporting no change in back pain or subjective movement control and analyzed their inter rectus distance (IRD). This study is a case-control study of a cohort of women who had delivered a year earlier. We recruited participants with increased symptoms (n=14) after index pregnancy and controls (n=41) and recorded their inter rectus distance with ultrasound. A questionnaire was filled, and an ultrasound was performed two times for the study groups.
This is a randomized control trial of vertical climbing ergometer exercise for individuals with chronic low back pain. Using a parallel-arm design, participants will be randomized to 8 weeks of supervised exercise using either the vertical climbing ergometer (CLMBR) or a recumbent cycling ergometer. This feasibility study will examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of vertical climbing exercise for individuals with chronic low back pain.
