Filter by:This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of education to keep the abdomen relaxed versus contracted during Pilates exercises in patients with primary chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomised into two groups that will be treated with Pilates exercises for 12 weeks. The control group will receive guidance on the specific activation of the center of strength (the powerhouse), while the experimental group will receive guidance to perform the exercises in a relaxed and smooth way. Primary outcomes will be pain intensity and disability 12 weeks post randomisation.
This study was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mulligan mobilization technique on balance, pain and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain and to compare it with exercise.37 patients aged between 18-65 who applied to Fındıkzade Medipol Hospital were included in the study. The individuals participating in the study were divided into two groups, 18 control and 19 mulligan groups, according to the randomization table. The intervention was performed 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Conventional physiotherapy and exercise program accompanied by a physiotherapist were applied to the control group, and conventional physiotherapy and mulligan mobilization technique were applied to the mulligan group. Conventional physiotherapy methods included ultrasound (US), Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), and hotpack. The patients were evaluated with TecnoBody Static Balance Device, algometer, electrogoniometer, visual analog scale, Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire before and after the treatment.
The Effect of Structured Pain Education on Pain and Performance Parameters in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain The aim of this study is to compare the effects of only Low Load Motor Control Exercises and Pain Education in addition to these exercises on pain, performance, disability and psychological factors, and to present a generalizable pain education in patients with chronic low back pain. We think that DYMK exercises applied together with a general Pain Education given to the patients will provide more improvement on these factors. The patients will be divided into 2 groups, as a pain training group and an exercise group, with 20 people in each group, in a randomized controlled manner. Only DYMK exercise training will be applied to the exercise group. In the pain training group, pain training will be applied in addition to the DYMK exercise training. As an evaluation parameter to the participants; Numerical Rating Scale, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, Passive Lumbar Extension Test, Finger-Place Test and Physical Performance Test Battery will be applied. Patients will be evaluated before the start of the study (T0) and at the end of the study (T1). Low Load Motor Control Exercises will be applied to people in both groups for 4 weeks, 3 days a week, during 20-30 minute sessions. In addition to the DYMK exercise training, a session of 30 to 50 minutes of Pain Training in groups of 4 to 5 people will be given to the patients included in the Pain Training group at the beginning of the exercise training and the exercise training will begin.
The study will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. The study has been approved by the Animal Research and Experimentation Ethics Committee of the University of Alcalá. A total of 60 subjects aged between 18 and 35 with non.specific low back pain will be selected and randomized in two interventions. The control group will carry out a specific strengthening program for the gluteus maximus and the experimental group will carry out the same strengthening program in addition to receiving a specific manual therapy program for both hips. The total duration of the treatments will be 8 weeks, with on-treatment evaluations at 4 and 8 weeks, with a follow-up after 1 month. The objective will be to determine the efficacy of manual therapy on the coxofemoral joint together with a protocol of gluteus maximus strengthening exercises in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain, in comparison with the same protocol of gluteus maximus strengthening exercises performed in isolation, in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.
The current ASAS classification of AxSpA relies either on sacroiliitis on imaging plus one SpA feature (imaging arm) or HLA-B27 antigen plus two SpA features (clinical arm), in a patient with chronic back pain and age at onset of less than 45 years. IBP which is a major symptom of SpA depends more on patient's perception which is not usually accurate. As well, disease activity is measured by ASDAS, BASDAI, and BASFAI which depend more on subjective measures. Assessment of reliability of IBP criteria, ASDAS, BASDAI, and BASFAI in diagnosis and evaluation of activity of AxSpA is essential for better health care.
The purpose of the study is to determine physical and mental health issues of U.S. 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.
Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition, however there is no conclusive evidence regarding the positive effects of conservative physical therapy management in terms of radiological changes and improvement in disc height. For this reason, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of conservative physical therapy on postural stability, pain and function, but also in terms of disc height in persons with discogenic low back pain.
In recent studies, it has been shown that people may have avoidance of movement due to pain. However, there is no scale that evaluates avoidance of movement due to pain in musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to develop a scale to measure how much pain-related movement and activity is avoided in individuals with musculoskeletal pain, and to examine the results of its clinical application.
This study uses clinical trial and implementation science methodology to specifically assess the effectiveness of yoga into the management of chronic low back pain (cLBP) within the Cleveland Clinic Employee Health Plan. The study will use a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design, which tests a clinical intervention while collecting data on implementation. Studying and implementing evidence-based, non-pharmacologic interventions is an important strategy for improving pain management and reducing opioid use disorder.
This study is a randomized controlled trial on acupuncture for Acute Low Back Pain(ALBP). According to literature, using distal acupoints only to treat ALBP is mostly recognized, but in our daily clinical practice, it is common to use local acupoints mainly combined with distal acupoints. Which method leads to better effect is one important clinical question in treating Low Back Pain(LBP) by acupuncture. In this proposed study, the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of using "distal acupoints only" and "local acupoints mainly combined with distal acupoints" on ALBP.
