Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training, core strengthening exercises, and vitamin D supplementation in reducing low back pain (LBP) among postmenopausal women.
This study aims to analyze the efficacy of diaphragm stretching technique on symptomatology in young adults with nonspecific low back pain.
The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of plyometric exercise training in the athletes with chronic low back pain. 32 professional volunteer athletes participated in the study.
This is a Pilot Study that is an open label, prospective, non-controlled study in which the safety and feasibility of Wharton's Jelly (WJ) allograft will be evaluated in 100 participants suffering with low back pain.
The proposed study aims to evaluate a pilot emergency department (ED) digital pain self-management intervention (EDPSI) focused on improving self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills, thus reducing the transition from acute to chronic low back pain in ED patients discharged with axial acute low back pain (aLBP). The proposed research has significant potential to improve self-efficacy (the confidence in one's ability to manage their condition) which is one of the most potent factors for improved health outcomes.
Brief Summary: Inflammatory back pain is a chronic condition localized in the axial spine and sacroiliac joints.1 It often accompanies mechanical issues like lumbar disc herniation. While non-surgical interventions such as medication, physiotherapy, and epidural steroid injections are typically the initial approach, surgical options may be considered if these prove ineffective.2 Resolvins, derived from omega-3 fatty acids, have shown promise in reducing inflammation and pain. They help to resolve inflammatory responses, promote tissue repair, and decrease disc size, potentially reducing the need for surgery.3,4 This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of adding oral resolvins to transforaminal epidural steroid injections for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH) The control group (Group C: n=25) will receive epidural steroids, while the study group (Group R: n=25) will receive both oral omega-3 supplementation and epidural steroids on the same day. Additionally, the study group will continue taking oral omega-3 supplements for six months. The primary outcome measure will be changes in protruded/extruded disc size assessed via MRI, with secondary outcomes including pain levels measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and serum cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-17, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha) over the study period. Discussion: This trial anticipates that combining the anti-inflammatory properties of resolvins with epidural steroid injection will provide a beneficial treatment for patients suffering from inflammatory low back pain.
The use of the dry needling technique has become widespread in recent years for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Although dry needling has been shown to be effective in the treatment of shoulder pain, elbow pain, headache, etc., we do not yet have a clear understanding of the mechanisms of action that justify its beneficial effects. In this study, we propose to analyse the biochemical markers of pain generated by the application of a dry needling technique on the lumbar musculature in patients with mechanical lumbar pain of non-specific origin. The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effects of dry needling technique on the plasmatic concentration of biochemical markers.Furthermore, the test subjects will be randomly distributed into two groups. An experimental group where the subjects will receive a real dry needling technique. Another group will be treated with a sham technique.
This study seeks to provide insight on psilocybin's effects on mechanisms of chronic pain among patients with co-morbid chronic low back pain and depression (CLBP+D). Participants will receive either a single high-dose of psilocybin (25mg absolute dose) or methylphenidate (40mg absolute dose). Participants will be asked to complete assessments of pain, depressive symptoms, and more general questionnaires regarding the participants experiences during the experimental sessions and the associated enduring effects.
In the proposed research, we will elucidate the comparative effectiveness of standalone physiotherapy (PT) vs. PT augmented with a self-guided, app-based Healthy Minds Innovation wellbeing program (PT+HMI) aimed at cultivating awareness, connection, insight, and purpose for people with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
The study will be a Randomized controlled trial to check the combined effects of Core Stability Exercises with and without Back strengthening exercises in females with pregnancy-induced back pain, disability, and function so that we can examine the effect of the above techniques on pain, disability and function in pregnant females Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used, subject following eligibility criteria from Society Hospital Nabipura Lahore will be randomly allocated in two groups. Group A participants will be given core stability exercises with back strengthening exercises, Group B participants will be given core stability exercises for 4 weeks. Assessment will be done via, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry disability index questionnaire and Back pain Functional Scale.
