Filter by:The overall goal of this study is to characterize the SIJ form, function, nerve entrapments, lumbo-pelvic configuration and their possible relationships with nonspecific chronic LBP in females and males. Specific aims: 1.To investigate the relationship between SIJ bridging and NSCLBP in females and males. 2. To investigate the prevalence and characterization of nerve entrapment of the lumbar sacral plexus around the SIJ in females and males. 3. To investigate the correlation between the lumbar sacral plexus nerve entrapments around the SIJ and NSCLBP in females and males. 4. To investigate the relationship between the lumbar sacral plexus nerve entrapments around the SIJ and lumbo-pelvic morphology in females and males. 5. To characterize the location and severity of articular degenerative changes in the SIJ and its relationship with lumbo-pelvic morphology in females and males. 6. To investigate the relationship between articular degenerative changes in the SIJ and LBP in females and males.
Transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle have been proposed to play key role in stability of the lumbosacral spine. The muscles' functional and/or structural deficits have been linked to the low back pain (LBP) syndrome. Evaluation of the transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus muscles' function in clinical practice is scarce and not well defined due to number of reasons. Surface electromyography of TrA and LM muscles, as a method of examining muscles function, is not involved in clinical routine. Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) of the TrA and LM, apart from providing information about their morphology, could be helpful in assessing their function. Since concentric muscle contraction results in the shortening and thickening of the muscle, evaluation of the potential association between muscle's morphometry, assessed by the ultrasound, and electromyography, may be of potential clinical interest. However, this potential relationship is context-dependant. Our aim was to establish the difference in the thickness change of the TrA and LM muscle during activation in subjects with and without low back pain, and to establish the possible correlation between electromyography and the thickness change of these muscles assessed by ultrasound in both groups of subjects.
To study the immediate effect of spinal manual therapy on pain perception in normal subjects
The objective of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term efficacy of a Cognitive Behavioural Treatment program for chronic low back pain supported by information and communication technologies
The purpose of this study is to compare different methods of application of the Pilates Method with exercises in controlling in low back pain in women aged between 45 and 60 years. Two groups will be formed. One will do Pilates exercises with stabilization segmental. The other group will do classic Pilates exercises. Will be measure pre and pos intervention of the responses already shown above.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of facet joint infiltration with corticosteroids in the treatment of low back pain due to facet joint osteoarthritis.
Back pain is a common hormonal disorder in men that may affect the phases of male sexual function. The investigators investigated sexual function in male patients with back pain. A total of 54 men with back pain and 27 age matched voluntary healthy men who served as the as control group were evaluated with a detailed medical and sexual history, including a international erectile function index (IEFI) questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory. Serum prolactin, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, free testosterone, androstenedione, 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, estradiol, free thyroxin and thyrotropin were measured. These variables were compared statistically between the 2 groups.
This randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study will investigate the efficacy and the tolerability of a combination treatment of etoricoxib (30 mg/day) plus controlled-release oxycodone (10 mg/day) compared with a titrated dose of etoricoxib up to 60mg/day as monotherapy , in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) who have not responded to the starting dose of Etoricoxib 30mg/day. A common clinical question is that is it better to increase the dose of the current monotherapy or to combine both treatments early on, in patients who do not respond to standard start doses of NSAIDs like etoricoxib.
Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting humans. Lower back supports are a common device used in order to alleviate the pain. All the available back supports are wrapped around the lower back and abdomen and act as static support devices. "The hug" is a new dynamic back support where the participant actively improves his/her posture and strengthens the muscle of the lower back. This trial compares both devices and their effect on reducing lower back pain.
Acute low back pain is a common cause for emergency department visits. Controversy remains regarding the optimal medication for acute low back pain relief. The investigators hypothesized that administration of pharmacological anxiolysis in addition to analgesia will improve pain relief and patient management in the emergency department.
