Objective To demonstrate the effectiveness of a conservative treatment approach for chronic low back pain that addresses the underlying problem of intervertebral disc lesions and degenerative disc disease, namely vertebral pressure on vital structures of the lumbar region.
A large study in Mallorca, Spain showed that nonspecific low back pain is quite prevalent in adolescents 13-15 years of age (Kovacs, 2003). Since below the age of seven years hardly any child has suffered low back pain, the purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of low back pain in children 10-12 years of age, and to investigate the risk factors associated with its occurrence.
This study will document efficacy and safety of the Axiom Worldwide DRX9000™ for treatment of low back pain (LBP) in a prospective, randomized, crossover, multicenter trial utilizing a standardized clinical research multimodal protocol. During the first two weeks subjects are randomized to receive either conservative care or DRX treatment first and then cross over to receive either conservative care or DRX treatment the next 6 weeks. This study will test the hypothesis that standardized 6-week treatment regimen of spinal decompression using DRX9000™ will reduce chronic lower back pain more than conservative therapy (current baseline therapy).
The purpose of this study is to compare patients who underwent decompression/discectomy with pedicle screw fusion to patients who received decompression/discectomy without fusion.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare, in retired persons living in the Balearic Islands, the effectiveness on low back pain related disability of three educational programs. All consist of a group talk and the handout of a booklet, each one different in its content.
Clinical trial using antibiotic treatment, namely Rulid, after onset of low back pain.
This is a study looking at pressure changes in the fluid that surrounds the spine when a person is positioned in 2-3 different ways.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most frequent forms of chronic pain and can result in significant functional impairment. This is often associated with major depression too. Previous research reported significant beneficial effects of antidepressant medication in alleviating depression and pain intensity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Escitalopram, a new kind of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) in patients with CLBP in a prospective, randomized and double-blind clinical trial. The main hypothesis is: -in comparison to placebo, subjects with CLBP and Cipralex report a significant reduction in depressive symptoms (>= 50% of HAMD questionnaire) after 4 weeks of treatment.
