Filter by: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.
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.K. embryologists related to their occupational characteristics, and how workplace fatigue and burnout may affect their quality of life, cynicism, interactions with patients, attention to detail, and lead to human error, the cause of the most severe IVF incidents that often make headlines and result in costly litigation. It will also correlate how the current manual workflows contribute to these health issues, and what measures can be taken to improve both working conditions and embryologists' health, and, therefore, improve patient care.
The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of core strengthening and intensive dynamic back exercises on pain, muscle strength, endurance, and functional disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
To compare the effects of home based stabilization exercises and kegel exercises on low back pain, disability and quality of life in postnatal females.
Exercise therapy has been shown to be effective in decreasing pain and improving function for patients with recurrent low back pain (LBP). Research on the mechanisms that trigger and/or underlie the effects of exercise therapy on LBP problems is of critical importance for the prevention of recurring or persistence of this costly and common condition. One factor that seems to be crucial within this context is the dysfunction of the back muscles. Recent pioneering results have shown that individuals with recurring episodes of LBP have specific dysfunctions of these muscles (peripheral changes) and also dysfunctions at the cortical level (central changes). This work provides the foundation to take a fresh look at the interplay between peripheral and central aspects, and its potential involvement in exercise therapy. The current project will draw on this opportunity to address the following research questions: What are the immediate (after a single session) and the long-term effects (after 18 repeated sessions) of exercise training on: (1) back muscle structure; (2) back muscle function; (3) the structure of the brain; (4) and functional connectivity of the brain. This research project also aims to examine whether the effects are dependent on how the training was performed. Therefore a specific versus a general exercise program will be compared.
This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of using intra-operative ECAP and Late-Response (LR) recordings for confirmation of activating the neuronal target of the dorsal column in a single-stage SCS lead placement procedure. The collected ECAP and LR data will be analysed post-hoc to further evaluate its utility for determining the laterality of lead placement with respect to the physiologic midline of the dorsal column.
The intelligent moxibustion robot is applied to the clinical treatment of low back pain to verify its effectiveness and safety
This study examines the effect of a 12-week intervention of physiotherapy with integrated Virtual Reality (VR) on 120 patients with complex chronic low back pain. Patients in the intervention group will receive physiotherapy with integrated VR, while patients in the control group will receive physiotherapy as usual. The (cost-)effectiveness of this intervention will be investigated at 3 months and 12 months follow-up.
The Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) aims to reconceptualize pain from a marker of tissue damage to a marker of the perceived need to protect body tissue. The purpose of this study is to verify the long-term efficacy (6 months) of a Pain Education treatment in patients with chronic low back pain, compared to a conventional treatment.
The dissertation will focus on the possibilities of using pressure sensors during physiotherapy care. A single-blind randomized study will be conducted on a sample of at least 40 probands of working age with chronic LBP in the age range of 30-65 years. The following exclusive criteria are established: signs of serious spinal pathology (red flags), severe musculoskeletal trauma in the last year, vestibular, visual or neurological dysfunction affecting stability, ongoing pregnancy or breastfeeding, acute respiratory disease, cognitive dysfunction leading to misunderstanding of instructions and severe cardiac or internal disease. Inclusive and exclusive criteria will be evaluated by a rehabilitation doctor during a comprehensive examination before the start of therapy. All probands will undergo six-week outpatient therapy once a week. The intervention group will be equipped with an OhmTrak device for home self-therapy and instructed in its correct use at least 5 times a week. The control group will receive identical outpatient therapy and instruction in self-therapy, except they will not have access to the OhmTrak device. Before the start and at the end of the six-week therapy, all probands will be blindly evaluated for the quality of activation and use of intra-abdominal pressure with the DNS Brace device. At the same time, the Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire will be used to subjectively evaluate the probands before and after a series of therapies. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the possibility of using pressure sensors to improve the effect of physiotherapy.
