Filter by:The aim of the present intervention study is to determine the effectiveness of manipulation techniques.
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the "Re Spine" mattress, which was designed as an alternative to physiotherapy in the treatment of low back pain (LBP).
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization exercises on pain intensity, transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) activation capacity, functional disability, and TrA thickness in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Subjects: The subjects of this study were 30 CLBP patients. Methods: The experimental group performed diverse lumbar stabilization exercises in different postures, and the control group conducted an ordinary trunk muscle strengthening exercise. Results: There were significant differences in pain intensity, TrA activation capacity, functional disability, and TrA thickness between before and after the intervention in both groups. Significant differences between the two groups were shown in the pain intensity, TrA activation capacity, and functional disability after the intervention. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in TrA thickness. Conclusion: Lumbar stabilization exercises in different postures could reduce pain, functional disability, and increase TrA activation capacity and thickness in CLBP patients.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of TENS Burst combined Cryotherapy on painful sensation, functional capacity and quality of life of patients with non-specific chronic pain. Study hypothesis: The TENS Burst combined with Cryotherapy offers a better response in the pain sensation, functional capacity and quality of life of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain when compared to the application of these resources in isolation.
Articular involvement is the most frequent extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). IBD-related spondyloarthropathy is mainly characterised by axial involvement (including inflammatory back pain, isolated sacroiliitis and ankylosing spondylitis) but may also be associated with peripheral symptoms (i.e peripheral arthritis, dactylitis and enthesopathy, such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chest wall pain). In particular, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is characterised by an insidious onset, improves after exercise but not with rest, and is associated with morning stiffness. Up to now, several criteria sets have been proposed to define IBP. Studies conducted in various populations have confirmed a high sensitivity and specificity for the Berlin criteria. Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune systemic disease having among its clinical manifestations frequent symptoms common to rheumatologic diseases. Recently, it has been reported that a consistent percentage of the general population consider themselves to be suffering from problems caused by wheat and/or gluten ingestion, even though they do not have CD or wheat allergy. This clinical condition has been named Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity' (NCGS) or Non-celic Wheat Sensitivity (NCWS). The clinical picture of NCWS is characterized by combined gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal or systemic manifestations. Many patients affected with CD and NCWS complain of IBP-like symptoms, which generally improve, together with the other clinical manifestations of the diseases, during a gluten-free diet (GFD). Therefore, the aims of the present study are to investigate 1) the effect of a GFD in IBP patients, randomly assigned to receive standard therapy for IBP or standard therapy for IBP plus GFD, for a period of at least one year, and 2) the prevalence of IBP in CD and in NCWS patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the fixed combination of orphenadrine, acetaminophen, caffeine and diclofenac sodium is more effective in the treatment of an acute episode of mechanical postural low back pain than Voltaren®. Will be randomized 110 participants of both sexes, aged 18 years or older and less than 65 years of age with an acute episode of mechanical postural low back pain and they will be allocated to one of two treatment groups: Group 1: Fixed combination of orphenadrine, acetaminophen, caffeine and diclofenac sodium; or Group 2: Voltaren®
The study will evaluate the efficacy of IV Dexamethasone in treatment low back pain as an adjunct to analgesics.
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.
The objective is to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of measurements taken with electronic calipers and conventional calipers. Using both calipers, reproducibility will be determined by comparing results from a number of practitioners and accuracy will be determined by comparing results with those obtained from X-rays.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the eight therapy session with foot reflexology can reduce pain intensity when applied as an addition to the standards care of low back pain according to the Malaysian low back pain management guidelines.
