Filter by:The purpose of the project is to investigate if the use of virtual reality (VR) technology with pre-programmed proprietary software can provide better treatment for patients with long-term pain conditions. This is investigated in this pilot study conducted on patients referred to outpatient treatment at the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The pilot study will lay the foundation for a follow-up study (RCT). The effect of VR are evaluated by patient reporting forms; before start-up and 3 months after startup. Patients included in the study receive standard treatment supplemented with the use of VR technology. The therapists involved will be Interviewed to examine their experiences with the use of the VR-technology in the treatment of patients. VR technology can potentially contribute to better treatment (e.g. measured in outcomes such as activity, sleep problems, pain intensity, quality of life). Moreover we expect that a VR-assisted treatment to be more cost-effective and increased availability regardless of geography and demography.
A high-frequency impulse therapy (HFIT) device (Enso, San Francisco, CA) is a portable device for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. This three-arm randomized controlled trial study compares a HFIT group to a standard transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) group and a control group.
Determine the efficacy of lumbar medial branch neurotomy by radiofrequency and cryoablation in patients with chronic low back pain
The main goal of this study is to determine if static or dynamic [18F]NaF PET/CT (positron emitting tomography) can identify the source of lower backpain in at least 20% of the patients experiencing lower backpain, yet could not be diagnosed from MRI or CT scans.
The menstrual cycle is governed by hormonal changes. Each cycle can be divided into three phases based on events in the ovary (ovarian cycle) or in the uterus (uterine cycle). H0: There will be no correlation between pelvic pain and postural stability in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle H0: There will be no correlation between low back pain and postural stability in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle H0: There will be no correlation between pelvic pain and low back pain in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle
This study is a Randomized Control Trial in which participants aged 18-50 years having diagnosed chronic mechanical low back pain will be recruited into two groups. Group A will be receiving myofascial release using stripping technique whereas, Group B will be receiving Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using long bar tool. Afterwards, post-treatment stretching would be performed in both the groups. Final assessment of pain, range of motion and disability will be done on last treatment session.
Low back pain is currently considered to be the most common cause of disability.When low back pain occurs sensitivity of body increases which decreases overall body activity.Physical inactivity negatively effects recovery from chronic low back pain.Patients with chronic low back pain experience psychological anxiety and depression which leads to fear of pain and movement.There are various treatment options for chronic low back pain.But most treatment options deal with biomedical aspect of disease.Pain neuroscience education deals with psychological aspect of disease.By combining both treatment options we will be able to evaluate the combined biopsychosocial aspect of treatment.This study will mainly focus on the education of patients regarding neuroscience be hind their chronic low back pain.
This study will compare the effect of dry needling and manual pressure in patients having low back pain in terms of pain and disability. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive dry needling session along with hot pack. Half of study group will receive manual pressure technique along with hot pack.
Randomized, open-label, parallel-group phase III trial to prove an additional benefit of the full-spectrum cannabis extract VER-01 over opioids in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain for whom drug treatment is indicated and previous optimized treatments with non-opioid analgesics have not led to sufficient pain relief or were unsuitable due to contraindications or intolerance.
Two groups with non-specific low back pain will be completing the same exercise protocol. The leaderboard group will have a gamified experience and the take-home packet group will be using a paper take-home packet. Outcomes will be measured at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, with pain and disability also being measured at 12 and 18 months.
