Filter by:The goal of this clinical trail is to to compare the efficacy of thoracolumbar interfascial plane block with Exparel vs with standard of care 0.25% Bupivacaine HCl in patients undergoing 1-3 level elective transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. The investigators hypothesize that thoracolumbar interfascial plane block with Exparel will outperform standard of care (supplemented with interfascial plane block of 0.25% Bupivacaine HCl) with regards to pain reduction, narcotic use, length of hospital stay, time to mobilization with physical therapy, narcotic usage in the hospital, and post operative pain scores.
Lumbar facet joints have been implicated in chronic low back pain in over 45% of patients with isolated chronic common low back pain. Low back pain is the most common form of spinal pain, more chronic and severe than cancer pain. The annual prevalence of chronic low back pain ranges from 15% to 45% (one-off prevalence, 30%; lifetime prevalence, 54-80%). Because of this extremely high incidence, doctors from a wide range of specialities perform interventional techniques in a variety of settings. Facet joints have long been recognised as a source of back pain. In 1911, Goldthwait first recognised their role as a potential source of back pain. In 1933, Ghormley introduced the term "facet syndrome", defining lumbosacral pain with or without radicular pain. Badgley later suggested that facet joints could be a primary source of pain independently of spinal nerve compression. They demonstrated the role of posterior facet joints (PFJs) in a large number of patients with low back pain whose symptoms were not caused by a herniated disc. The underlying physiological concept of the PJF was introduced by Hirsch et al in 1963. They demonstrated that injecting a hypertonic saline solution into the region of the facet joints caused pain. The management of chronic low back pain due to zygapophyseal involvement (lumbar facet joints) consists primarily of conservative treatment. This is based on analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy and weight loss, where appropriate. Other non-surgical options may be proposed, including glucocorticoid injections into the facet joints. Glucocorticoid injections, which act by reducing inflammation, are commonly used in routine care to treat spinal pain. This pain may be due to a variety of pathologies, including discogenic or facet-related, or mixed, ligamentous or muscular, linked to a regional or global disorder of spinal statics. They are commonly used as a standard treatment for chronic spinal pain. Traditionally, in routine clinical practice, if there is significant paravertebral contracture and the clinical signs point to posterior joint involvement, a glucocorticoid injection is given in the doctor's surgery at the time of consultation, using anatomical landmarks to guide needle placement. However, few studies have demonstrated the efficacy of anatomical marking for infiltration of posterior joints, notably Cohen et al. Sui's systematic review of the use of this technique. With the advent of new imaging modalities such as ultrasound, more and more practitioners are turning to image-guided injections. To date, only the fluoroscopy-guided technique is considered reliable for facet joint infiltration. In order to improve the clinical efficacy of the various interventional therapeutic solutions, some authors have supported the use of ultrasound guidance. Several studies have been published comparing ultrasound-guided infiltration and infiltration using anatomical location in the shoulder region, the iliopsoas and in epicondilitis. While ultrasound guidance in areas such as the iliopsoas or the shoulder seems useful, it has not yet been proven that guidance is advantageous in spinal areas, such as the facet joints. To our knowledge, no randomised, methodologically sound study has yet been carried out to compare the benefit of ultrasound-guided infiltration versus infiltration with anatomical location. The aim of our study is to show that ultrasound-guided zygoapophyseal infiltration is superior to anatomically-guided infiltration in terms of pain assessment.
Registry is to observe and trend patterns of care and outcomes for patients treated with VIA Disc NP.
According to the information obtained from clinical studies, it has been stated that Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is associated with chronic low back pain (LBP). In this study, participants will be divided into two groups. Only Rocabado's exercise will be given to the Rocabado's group (RG), and Rocabado's and therapeutic lumbar exercises will be given to the therapeutic group (TG). Warm-up exercises will be given before starting the exercises with the therapeutic group, and cool-down exercises will be given after the exercises with the therapeutic group. At the end of the sixth week, the effect of therapeutic lumbar exercises on TMD pain and function will be evaluated.

Methodology: study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of thoracic mobility exercise and manual release technique in terms of pain intensity, thoracic mobility, muscle strength and improving disability. Study Design: Study was conducted in Service unit of Department of Physiotherapy at university of peradeniya. Undergraduates who are currently having upper back pain for more than seven days was selected as sample. It is a randomized Controlled trail, Double blinded study. Participants allowed randomly to both groups which are experimental group which will receive thoracic mobility exercises and control group which will receive myofascial release and joint mobilization treatment. Total sample size was 60.
The intervention involved two groups participating in supervised Pilates sessions, twice a week for 8 weeks, featuring a mix of mat and props-based exercises. Group 1 received additional cueing training to enhance alignment, muscle engagement, and movement technique, while Group 2 underwent the same Pilates regimen without this cueing component.
People with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) experience a diagnostic delay of 6.5 years in men and up to 8.8 years in women. One of the reasons for the diagnostic delay seems to be limited awareness of the disease characteristics in the referring health care professionals in primary care. By raising awareness about the disease, the study aims at reducing the diagnostic delay and improving early treatment. In addition to diagnostic and pharmacological treatment, physical exercise and rehabilitation are recommended in people with axSpA. In Denmark, people with axSpA are only offered free of charge physiotherapy when the disease has progressed to a stage with radiographic changes of the spine even though people in the early stage of axSpA report a similar disease burden. The overall objective of Spondyloarthritis Inception Cohort of Southern Denmark (SPINCODE) is to set up an axSpA inception cohort among individuals with low back pain ≥ 3 months who are considered to be at risk for axSpA. The investigators aim to learn more about the course of axSpA during the early stage of disease appropriately assess outcomes, including novel imaging techniques and identify predictive outcomes. Moreover, the investigators want to test the effect of an outpatient physiotherapist-coordinated rehabilitation intervention in people suspected of having axSpA.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of HXTL in the treatment of NSLBP based on TCM principles and to compare the clinical outcomes of different syndromes of NSLBP with celecoxib.In this study, 80 patients with NSLBP were recruited and randomly grouped to use TCM compound and celeoxib respectively for intervention. The pain status and lumbar function use scale of patients were scored before intervention, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after intervention, and the adverse reactions of patients after medication were recorded, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients was compared finally.
This study investigates a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention for women who are undergoing elective surgery. The objective is to provide a toolkit of stress management techniques to decrease pain and opioid use following surgery.
