We will recruit overweight/ obese participants between the age of 18 and 65 with chronic nonspecific low back pain . The participants will be randomly assigned to one of two interventions (each lasting 10 weeks). All interventions will be delivered online and will be a combination of online education material and face-to-face video calls with a physical therapist. The first group (experimental intervention) will receive a behavioral weight reduction program combined with pain neuroscience education plus cognition-targeted exercise therapy. Participants in the second group (control intervention) will receive pain neuroscience education and cognition-targeted exercise therapy alone. Allocation to the groups will be at random. Participants and assessors will be blinded for group allocation. The primary outcomes is pain intensity. Secondary outcomes include other pain related outcomes, body composition, physical activity, sedentary behavior, dietary intake and function.
New ways of delivering care are much needed to address chronic low back pain. Crucially, these need to: a) address the three pillars of care to achieve good and sustained clinical outcomes; b) overcome barriers to access; c) ensure patients are engaged throughout the programs; d) be scalable and cost-efficient. SWORD Health has developed a digital care program to address these needs. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of this rehabilitation program versus conventional physical therapy.
The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of electrical dry needling versus ischemic compression, analytical stretching and postural habits educational dossier in active myofascial trigger points in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
This study is a prospective, randomized study comparing ReActiv8 Therapy to Optimal Medical Management (OMM).
This study is being conducted to assess the relative effectiveness of radiofrequency neurotomy in subjects with chronic axial low back pain originating in the lumbar facet joints using the COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency Probe as compared to the same procedure conducted using a Standard Radiofrequency Probe.
Introduction: Although the effectiveness of many mobilization methods in chronic low back pain (CLBP) was shown, these effects were not monitored in the long term. The aim of this study was to identify the immediate, short and long-term effects of mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) in terms of pain, range of motion (ROM), flexibility, endurance, functionality and disabilities in patients with CLBP. Methods: The study was designed in randomized-placebo controlled with 36 people randomly distributed into 2 groups. Sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) was applied to the lumbar region, straight leg raise (SLR) with traction to the hip, and internal rotational mobilization techniques and home exercise program were applied in Group 1 (n=19); and the same techniques were applied as sham mobilization in Group 2 (n=17). The evaluations were made as post-intervention for immediate effect, and were also made at the 5th week, 3rd month, and 6th months for short and long-term effect. Evaluation was also made for pain in 12th month.
This study will provide information on the effectiveness of cryoneurolysis for patients with facet joint pain syndrome, and help to establish whether cryoneurolysis should be implemented in clinical practice for this patient population.
While guideline-directed nonpharmacological strategies for chronic low back pain are well established, optimal chronic pain management for emergency department patients has yet to be defined. Mindfulness interventions can be used for management of chronic conditions, yet are understudied as a primary approach for patients with chronic pain discharged from the emergency department. Currently, there is limited evidence examining whether an individual telehealth mindfulness intervention is a feasible and acceptable for these patients. This study will develop, pilot, and evaluate the feasibility and effects of an 8-session (12-week) telehealth mindfulness intervention for patients with an acute exacerbation of chronic low back pain
Chronic low back pain is a major public health problem today, because of its prevalence and its socio-professional impact. Multiple drug or non-drug treatments exist but the pain chronicization mechanism makes the management of chronic low back pain patients difficult. Stress rehabilitation programs in specialized structures have been set up to try to improve the outcome of these patients. Likewise, home exercise is recommended. However, adherence to these exercises is generally poor. Recently, there has been a growing interest in the use of new technologies, based on the use of digital tools, in the management of pain. Thus, in patients with chronic low back pain, the attractiveness of the proposed exercise programs with new technologies, the possibility of progression in the same exercise and the possibility of customizing these exercises have been reported as being able to meet the expectations of patients. for the purpose of rehabilitation. In virtual reality, users interact in an environment simulated by a 3-dimensional computer. This technology uses multisensory resources allowing the user to feel totally immersed in the virtual environment. Virtual reality has shown a benefit in the management of pain in several indications. In low back pain patients, pain avoidance mechanisms are put in place very early due to fear of situations or movements that may reproduce or intensify the pain. Thus, for fear of pain, individuals avoid certain movements, in particular lumbar flexion movements. This avoidance of the lumbar flexion movement actually worsens the pain phenomenon because of the musculoskeletal changes associated with it. Therefore, one of the therapeutic areas for the management of chronic low back pain would be to improve lumbar flexion capacities.
