Filter by:Non-Specific Low Back Pain (NSLBP), which constitutes approximately 90-95% of low back pain, is low back pain that cannot be defined by specific pathologies such as infection, tumor, osteoporosis, fracture, radicular symptoms or inflammatory diseases. NSLBP creates many health problems due to uncertainties in both its diagnosis and treatment. Due to the health problems and decreased functional activities of the individual, it creates a socioeconomic burden on both the individual and the country. NSLBP ranks 6th in the distribution of the economic burden caused by diseases to developed and developing societies. It is difficult to calculate how much burden it puts on the country's economy both directly (health institutions) and indirectly (loss of working days). However, in 1996 in the United States (USA), the economic burden of NSLBP patients is estimated to be between 18.5 and 28.2 million.
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) with Conventional Physical therapy (CPT) - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Supervised Exercise therapy and CPT in the management of CLBP.
A randomized, double-blind, study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of Dexketoprofen trometamol and Tramadol hydrochloride combination versus placebo on moderate to severe acute pain in patients with acute low back pain.
In this study, the effect of sensory discrimination training on cortical reorganization, pain and functionality in chronic nonspecific low back pain in which central sensitization is dominant will be investigated.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is very common in older adults and is one of the most common reasons for disability and poor quality of life. Lack of physical activity is considered to negatively impact CLBP and show an inverse association with pain symptoms and limitations. Remote and real-time monitoring can allow ecological momentary assessment which involves repeated sampling of participants' current behaviors and experiences in their natural environments. Recent advances allow monitoring of activity using inertial measurement units (consisting of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers) that can be worn by an individual at home or during work. In our study, we plan to test the feasibility and acceptability of the wearable devices in elderly patients with CLBP and to explore the use of data analytics and machine learning on the recorded data, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of a larger cohort study.
The objective of this randomized control trial is to determine the effectiveness of myofascial release in patients with nonspecific low back pain to improve Pain, Disability, and Quality of life This study is being conducted at the Outpatient Physiotherapy department of Sindh Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Karachi (former institute of Dow University of Health Sciences) and Musculoskeletal outpatient department of Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau, Civil Hospital Karachi among 72 patients with nonspecific back pain on the basis of non-probability purposive sample technique with screening for study criteria through a consultant physician (blinded). After taking informed consent, all participants will be randomly allocated into two groups through a second researcher who is not involved in screening, baseline assessment, and providing intervention. Group 1 will receive myofascial release with generalized low back stretching and thermotherapy and Group 2 will receive Posterior-anterior glide with generalized low back stretching and thermotherapy. A total of 18 sessions will be provided. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, at the last session, and after 12 weeks of follow-up.
This study aims to compare the acute effects of different kinesiology tapes on pain, functional performance and trunk endurance in young adults with chronic low back pain. Seventy young adults with chronic low back pain between the ages of 18-40 were included in our study. The individuals included in our study were divided into two groups by a simple randomization method. Star-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 1st group, and I-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 2nd group. The demographic and physical characteristics of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance.
This is a mechanistic randomized controlled trial on the effects of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy on patients with chronic low back pain. It is designed as a mechanistic trial, in which the main objective is to identify which variables related to central sensitization can help predict the response to spinal manipulation, and the evolution of which of these variables can help explain clinical changes in chronic low back pain patients receiving spinal manipulative therapy.
To compare the effects of conventional exercise protocol and specific modified exercise program to prevent low back pain in racketlon players.
Physiotherapy is a long established therapy in lower back pain. It is unknown if physiotherapeutic interventions in patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with nonspecific lower back pain are beneficial. The aim of this study is to assess whether patients presenting to the emergency department with non-specific low risk low back pain would benefit from a physiotherapy intervention, as compared to patients without physiotherapy intervention at time of ED presentation.
