Filter by:The study hypothesis is based on osteopathic medical philosophy that: 1) the body is a unit; 2) the body has inherent self-regulatory mechanisms; 3) structure and function are interrelated; and 4) rational treatment is based on an understanding and integration of these concepts. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus often report more aches and pains than people without diabetes. Because osteopathic manual medicine addresses dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system, patients with both chronic low back pain and type 2 diabetes mellitus may benefit from this non-pharmacological treatment to reduce their pain, thereby reducing their stress and perhaps providing better clinical control for diabetes as demonstrated by key markers such as hemoglobin A1c and kidney function. This study is an extension of research completed in the OSTEOPATHIC Trial. Results of that study were published in the Annals of Family Medicine in March/April 2013.
The aim of the pragmatic randomized study is to evaluate whether additional relaxation technique is more effective in the reduction of chronic low back pain compared to usual care alone.
This study is designed to assess: Hypothesis #1: That there is a significant central pain component in a distinct subset of patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis(KOA), Chronic low back pain(CLBP), painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN.) Hypothesis # 2: To establish a reliable strategy for differentiation of central pain predominant from peripheral pain predominant knee osteoarthritis(KOA), chronic low back pain(CLBP)and peripheral diabetic neuropathy(PDN) patients using clinical features, experimental pain testing and magnetic resonance(MR) Spectroscopy.
The purpose of this investigation is to establish the safety and efficacy of the Biostat System when used for treatment of chronic low back (lumbar) pain due to symptomatic internal disc disruptions (IDD) by comparing safety and efficacy outcome measures between one group receiving BIOSTAT BIOLOGX® Fibrin Sealant through the Biostat® Delivery Device and another group receiving a preservative-free normal saline control delivered with the Biostat Delivery Device.
Patients who had axial lower back pain (LBP) with or without radiation present for at least 3 months and had daily moderate to severe LBP as the primary source of pain participated in a Phase IV clinical trial to assess the efficacy of lidocaine patch 5% compared to celecoxib 200 mg in treating chronic axial LBP with and without radiation.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the combination of the the three drugs gabapentin, duloxetine, and donepezil are effective in treating pain in people with diabetic neuropathy or patients with failed low back syndrome (chronic back pain).
