Filter by:The aim of this study is to test the feasibility of a clinical trial testing the effectiveness of aerobic exercises program in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) uses electrical signals to disrupt noxious signals arising from painful areas, thereby reducing pain perception. Successful SCS implants lead to a broad range of positive outcomes: 1) long-term pain can be expected to be reduced by at least by 50%; 2) quality of life as assessed by subjective measurements improves substantially; 3) patients can significantly reduce opioid medication intake.1 However, the impacts of SCS intervention on neuromuscular and biomechanical outcomes including gait and balance have not been fully explored. Fifty subjects with symptomatic leg pain and/or low back pain (LBP) who are deemed appropriate SCS candidates and are scheduled for surgery will undergo gait and balance analyses preoperatively as well as 6 weeks and 3 months post operatively. In addition, 50 control subjects having no pain will undergo 1 session of gait and balance assessment. Objective spine and lower extremity motion and neuromuscular control will be evaluated using dynamic surface EMG and a video motion capture system during functional evaluation. Also, explored will be the relationship of changes in gait and balance to psychosocial factors that have previously been shown to be correlated with SCS outcomes.
This study has the primary goal of evaluating the efficacy of corticoid infiltration in the quadratus lumborum syndrome, aiming to determine if there are benefits with the use of corticosteroids and if they exist, if this improvement comes only from the systemic effects of corticosteroid administration.
Subjects are recruited from the attendees of the multidisciplinary low back pain rehabilitation group before it takes place in University Hospital of Oulu at Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) unit. Subjects were invited to participate by letter 2 weeks before the beginning of the rehabilitation. Subjects to rehabilitation are picked by doctor at PRM unit. The volunteered subjects are invited to the briefing of the study and those who are willing to participate, they filled in several questionnaires about pain, participation, disability and mood. After that the subjects are measured at baseline measurement. Subjects are randomized into the five groups. After the 3 months treatment and training the follow-up measurements are performed. Same questionnaires are filled in at that point as well. At 6 and 12 months the follow-up questionnaires (same as before) are sent to subjects.
The aim is to test whether the psychotherapeutic intervention Somatic Experiencing targeting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms will have an additional positive effect on the outcomes of guided physiotherapy against chronic back pain development.
The study proposes to investigate the factors related to a person that can enhance or reduce the effectiveness of pain treatments in people suffering with chronic pain. Treatment response to pain killers in a person may be related to their brain, genetics, social, and psychological makeup. The investigators aim to study these factors to identify and develop feasible and robust indicators based on a person's biological makeup (also called biomarkers).
Aim: The primary aim of this project is to identify the fear-avoidance beliefs and attitudes of primary care physicians and nurses towards the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain to subsequently develop a biopsychosocial educational tool using a web platform. The secondary aim of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of this educational intervention about pain neurophysiology and fear-avoidance beliefs, using a web platform for primary care physicians and nurses. Methods: Exploratory sequential mixed method design. For the qualitative phase of this study, researchers will use personal semistructured interviews. For the quantitative phase the authors will use an experimental study design. Subjects: medical and nursing staff working in primary care centers in the city of Lleida, Spain. Expected outcomes: the authors expect to change and modify wrong beliefs and attitudes about chronic low back pain of physicians and nurses working in primary care settings, using a web-based educational tool with the additional result of increasing knowledge on pain neurophysiology and reducing fear-avoidance beliefs.
Low back pain (Lower Back Pain ) is extremely common , affecting more than 80 % of the general population in the modern world , one is considered the most common cause of disability in people under the age of 45. Lower back pain represents a social problem and substantial economies in Western countries , also considered a first cause for orthopedic consultation. In recent decades , a number of methods developed for assessing the functional status of patients with low back pain , and over twenty -five generic methods available today for use in pain clinics , orthopedic clinics and in clinical trials A large part of the measures used to monitor the response of patients to treatment of low back pain based on self-report questionnaires ,on patients' pain intensity , quality of life measures , and functional status In recent years a number of wearable monitoring devices designed to help people assess the progress of sports activity , by measuring steps , pulse , and quality of sleep , in this study we will use these measures to assess treatment efficacy after steroid injection to the epidural space in patients with low back pain . And compare the results to those taken from subjective self-report questionnaires .
Back pain is a common complaint among pilots. Current treatments include physiotherapy and chiropractic manipulations. Low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) in the visible to near-infrared range was shown to reduce neck and low back pain. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Light Therapy for treatment of back pain in pilots.
Investigate the potential of tissue grafting that includes human mesenchymal stem cells in the repair and potential stabilization of the degenerative Lumbar disk and facet joint denovo and at the time of surgical reconstruction. Our hypothesis proposes that stabilization will help restore normal structure and function in the degenerative lumbar spine may decrease chronic low back pain associated with the biomechanical demise of the degenerative disk or facet and may improve the natural history of adjacent segment disease found after spinal surgery.
