View clinical trials related to Chronic Low Back Pain.
Filter by:Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), SF-12 Health Survey, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Global Rating of Change Scale and Back Beliefs Questionnaire (BBQ) are important and widely used validated patient self-reported measures commonly used in clinical trials and health research involving patients with low back pain (LBP). However, to date, validated Hausa versions of these tools are unavailable for use despite not only Hausa language is commonly spoken in Nigeria but in other parts of the world. The purpose of this study is to perform, using evidence-based guidelines, translation, cultural adaptation and validation of the ODI, NPRS, RMDQ, SF-12 health survey, FABQ, PCS, GROC and BBQ into Hausa language among patients with LBP in Northern Nigeria.
The main purpose of this pilot single-blind randomized clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of implementing motor control exercise and patient education for the management of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in a low resource rural Nigerian community.
The purpose of this study is to see if mindfulness, a form of mental training, or listening to a book alters brain activation in response to raising your leg that may produce the feeling of pain. A technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows scientists to determine which parts of the brain are active during a particular task. This study will provide new information about how mindfulness affects the brain.
Dr. Macedo and others involved in the proposed research recently conducted a study that investigated whether simple clinical characteristics could identify patients who benefit more from either motor control exercises or graded activity. Results were statistically significant and clinically relevant demonstrating that a simple questionnaire could help aid the selection of the most appropriate exercise therapy for each individual patient. Therefore, we aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial following a similar approach to the original study to validate in a different sample the results of the effect modification analysis.
Although it is known that chronic low back pain (CLBP) have a multifactorial etiology, the investigations about it are mostly specific to each investigation area, making difficult to understand this complex condition. The purpose of the study was to investigate CLBP from a multidisciplinary approach, analyzing biomechanical, morphological and inflammatory parameters aiming to compare the influence of two strength training protocols, one of low intensity and low volume (LIT) and one of high intensity and high volume (HIT). In both experiments, pain intensity and level of functional disability were analyzed (by analogue scale of pain and Oswestry Index), Ground Reaction Forces (GRF - AMTI BP600900 - 2000 force plate), kinematics of lower limbs (Inertial Sensors by Noraxon) and electromyography of the rectus abdominis, external oblique, lumbar multifidus, medial gluteus, vastus lateralis and biceps femoris muscles (TelemyoDTS) during gait and sit-to-stand, inflammatory cytokines by Multiplex in blood samples and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the lumbar multifidus by ultrasound imaging.
This study evaluates the analgesic effect of a combination treatment of exercise and mindfulness based meditation in patients with chronic back pain. Half of the participants will partake in a 4-week exercise and meditation intervention, while the other half will receive a placebo treatment. The investigators hypothesize that a combination treatment reduces disability and pain more than the control intervention.
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 orthopedic 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.
Prospective, single arm, open label, multi-center study to evaluated the effectiveness of intraosseous basivertebral nerve radiofrequency ablation using the Intracept System.
The study aims to advance pain research by exploring feasibility of crowdsourcing patient pain data via Amazon Mechanical Turk, the largest and most studied crowdsourcing platform in the U.S. We will leverage an existing NIH/NCCIH grant as a comparison data (RAND Center of Excellence in Research on CAM; CERC) to conduct a feasibility study of new methods for gathering and analyzing data on chronic pain and engaging pain patients in health policy.
The objective of KERAAL technological project is to create a new intelligent robot which allows a humanoid robot to record then to show and to follow the progress of rehabilitation sessions proposed by a physiotherapist to a patient, the latter being able to practice without the physiotherapist. The final objective is to stimulate and increase the overseen time of rehabilitation. Poppy robot was chosen as it is able to realize all kind of movements notably movements of the spine with 5 degrees of freedom associated to the several levels of the spine. It will allow to address the population included in the protocol. RCOOL study tries to validate this prototype device as tool of rehabilitation. The main objective is the feasibility of the supervision by a humanoid robot of a succession of rehabilitation exercises. RCOOL study is a randomized clinical trial checked under single-blind condition to compare two rehabilitation strategies, one with exercises executed by the patients and supervised by Poppy and the other one with usual rehabilitation protocol.
