Filter by:We propose here to evaluate the precision of lumbar periradicular infiltration performed under a transverse ultrasound approach by performing a fluoroscopic control once the needle in the desired position. The effectiveness of the technique will be assessed by measuring different pain and disability scores at four weeks post-infiltration: the Visual analogue pain Scale score, the DN4 score, and the Oswestry disability score (ODI); The decrease in irradiation received will be collected, compared to that of the conventional fluoroscopic technique.
Non-specific low back pain is a common condition. Exercise is effective treatment for chronic low back pain. We hypothesized the functional exercise group will present pain reduction and functional improvement. The purpose of this study is investigated the effectiveness of an functional exercise program for people with nonspecific chronic low back pain. Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (minimal intervention - mini back school and analgesic) and group will receive a functional exercise protocol associated with minimal intervention.
Recent research has found that there is moderate evidence for the use of breathing exercises for treating chronic, non-specific low back pain. Researchers have found that there were significant improvements in pain and quality of life in those suffering with low back pain who completed a breathing program intervention. Researchers also found that healthy individuals had higher pain thresholds and tolerance following deep and slow breathing exercises. There are numerous formats of breathing interventions, some interventions that have been used with individuals with chronic, non-specific low back pain include: deep breathing, yoga breathing, resisted inspiration, and breathe holding. There is moderate evidence to suggest the use of these interventions for managing chronic low back pain Another common breathing format is Equal-Ratio Breathing. This format requires an individual to inhale and exhale with the same duration while gradually increasing the duration of both. This breathing format can be easier for patients to perform given the simplicity of the equal inhalation to exhalation ratio. This research is being done because Equal-Ratio Breathing has yet to be studied in individuals with chronic low back pain.
Enso is a portable device for the treatment of chronic and acute types of musculoskeletal pain. This study is being designed as a double-blinded, sham-controlled randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on QoL, PI and the AROM° in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. This after following an episode of 6 weeks 2 times a week physiotherapeutic back rehabilitation according to the 4 times T method by orthopaedic disorder ® (4MTOR®). The results in this research will be analyzed and reported. In this study, 7 dependent variables will be independently examined relative to 2 independent variables.
This is a prospective, randomized, two-arm, phase II study. The purpose of this study is: - To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for treatment of facet-joint osteoarthritis low back pain. - Determining the effect of the MRgFUS System and RFA for improving functional disabilities and in reducing pain resulting from facet-joint osteoarthritis low back pain. Efficacy will be determined by the level of pain relief (as measured by the Numerical Rating Scale, NRS), decrease in analgesics/opiate, improved quality of life (as measured by the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, ODQ, and core outcome measures index questionnaire, COMI), pain interference with function (as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-Interference scale, BPI-QoL), general health status (as measured by the EQ5D), physical exam, X-ray and MRI studies from baseline up to 12-Months post- MRgFUS and radiofrequency treatment. - Evaluate incidence and severity of adverse events associated with the MRgFUS system and RFA used for the treatment of pain resulting from facet-joint osteoarthritis low back pain.
The Purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of herbal medicine with manipulation therapy on Korean Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic low back pain patients aged 21 to 60 needed for a research study of the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the analgesic effects of lidocaine cream as measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Study will be conducted on nine separate days not requiring an overnight stay in the hospital.
The Investigators have designed this exploratory study in patients suffering from zygapophysial joint mediated pain to investigate if a correlation exists between inter-individual genetic variability (genotype) with treatment response (phenotype). More specifically, the investigators aim to identify any form of correlation between a specific SNP of the BDNF gene (Val66Met) and the effectiveness and/or duration of radiofrequency facet joint neurotomy. The study population is patients suffering from chronic low back pain who have been scheduled for radiofrequency neurotomy following the diagnosis of facet joint mediated pain (using medial branch block test). The investigators will evaluate if a common variant of BDNF gene (Val66Met) can be directly correlated to a significant degree of pain relief following RF treatment, and whether the result of such a procedure can be predicted from a specific genetic profile.
The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of heating and cooling combination therapeutic device (OCH-S100) for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP).
