Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate mechanism underlying lumbar multifidus muscle (LM) activation deficits in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The main questions it aim to answer is whether motor cortex or muscular level is the underlying mechanism responsible for the LM activation deficits. Participants will: - Undergo cortical excitability measurement using transcranial magnetic stimulation, LM activation measurement using ultrasound imaging, and force measurement using hand-held dynamometer. - Be randomly assigned to either repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) - Undergo all measurement at post-intervention Researchers will compare within and between groups to see changes in cortical excitability, LM activation, and force.
This research aims to assess the cross-cultural validity and reliability of the German version of the Back-PAQ (Back-PAQ_G) within the German-speaking Swiss population. The target population for this study includes individuals with and without back pain and primary care healthcare professionals. This includes physicians, physiotherapists, and nurses. The participants will be asked to fill out the Back-PAQ_G and similiar questionnaires online.
Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common health condition in female population. Although its prevalence increases with the age, women of all ages could be affected. Several epidemiological studies have shown an association of SUI with Low Back Pain (LBP) demonstrating, moreover, that the presence of one condition may predispose the patient to the onset of the other. Concerning the LBP, the clinical practice guidelines provided recommendations for physical rehabilitative treatment. Different techniques and physical exercises have been developed and it is difficult at the date to affirm the superiority of one approach as compared to another. Moreover, the crucial role plays by the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) both as an integral part of trunk and lumbo-pelvic stability and in maintenance of urinary continence, lead the pelvic floor muscles disfunction to be associated both with SUI and LBP, making the PFM rehabilitation a useful approach in both the conditions. In this rehabilitative context the present study aims to verify the effectiveness of a global physical approach based on postural re-education combined to the pelvic floor rehabilitation in women with diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence associated with non-specific chronic low back pain.
Most publications state that core stability exercises (transverse abdominis and multifidus training) can relieve chronic low back pain with or without radiculopathy and improve function, although only temporarily, and may have the same impact as active general exercise so The goal of this study is to detect the effect of retraining the deep core muscles, on pain, disability, and quality of life in patients with chronic Non specific low back pain.
An educational intervention on the neurophysiology of chronic pain will be provided. The content of the intervention will be identical in the experimental groups (group and individual). The intervention has an active educational approach based on reconceptualizing the maladaptive beliefs that influence the fear-avoidance behavior of the participants through updated contents of the neuroscience of pain. The effects of the intervention will be compared between the groups and the influence of the social determinants of health on the effects will also be determined. The investigators hypothesize that there will be significant differences in favor of the group intervention group over the individual intervention groups. Furthermore, the effects will be influenced by the social determinants of health in both experimental groups.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of yoga for patients with chronic low back pain and high risk of poor prognosis. The main question it aims to answer is: - In patients with back pain and high risk of poor prognosis, what is the effectiveness of yoga plus education on reducing pain and disability compared to a control group receiving education alone? A total of 110 patients with chronic low back pain and classified as high risk of poor prognosis according to the Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (i.e. score ≥ 50 points out of 100) will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: yoga and control. The yoga group will receive a 3-month course of yoga program consisting of two sessions per week and 3 educational classes. The control group will receive 3 educational classes over a 12-week period. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, at post-intervention (i.e. 3-months post randomization) and at 6-month follow up (i.e. 6-months post randomization).
The purpose of this study is to objectively assess lymphatic function before, during, and immediately after Neuroglide treatment in lower trunk and leg lymphatic vessels, torso, axillary regions, inguinal regions, upper extremities, and cervical/neck and to determine any VAS (Visual Analog Scale, a commonly used measure of pain perception) score change after Neuroglide treatment.
Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.
Physical exercise has a fundamental position in the chronic low back pain treatment. However, the physical activity level is often low in these patients and the adherence to the care program is not enough in the long term. The French Evaluation of the Perception of Physical Activity (EPPA) is a valid and reliable questionnaire, developed by N. Coste et al in 2020, that assesses the perceived barriers to and facilitators of physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, there is no valid and reliable instrument allowing such an assessment in chronic low back pain. The main objective of this study is to adapt the EPPA to chronic low back pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties. This validation would allow its use in current practice to adapt the care strategy, to personalize rehabilitation of each patient with chronic low back pain in order to have a better adherence to rehabilitation programs.
This randomized controlled pilot study will be evaluating an app, MORT-LBP app (ETH-02K), owned by EverEx, Inc., to examine safety and efficacy in individuals with chronic lower back pain.
