Many people in the world have chronic pain; this is pain which lasts more than twelve weeks. Pain can cause people to feel low in mood and change how they feel about themselves and others around them. Therapy for chronic pain does not always work and often people do not have lasting effects from treatment. This study hopes to see if a different therapy, called Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT), can help people with chronic pain. This therapy looks at how we see ourselves and our relationships with others; it aims to help people address personal problems that make it difficult for them to manage their pain. The study aims to show that PIT is a suitable treatment for chronic low back pain and that people will have fewer problems with their mood, how they feel about themselves and their relationships. This study will give people with chronic low back pain eight sessions of PIT and during therapy they will fill in forms about their pain, mood, relationship problems and how they feel about themselves. We will also look at practical things to do with the therapy (e.g. how many sessions people came to, reasons for stopping therapy etc.) and ask people about how they felt about the therapy they had. Three months after the study has finished, people will be asked to fill in the forms again to see if the effects have lasted. This research could help to give people with chronic pain a new and different treatment option which has good and lasting effects.
Objective of study is to evaluate the procedural success rate, clinical effectiveness, and heath-economic profile using the Intercept Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System in adult subjects with chronic low back pain in the post-market setting
The primary purpose of the R21 is using an experimental medicine research approach to study whether a chronic, progressive-based exercise program will help Veterans suffering from chronic low back pain (cLBP) and PTSD achieve exercise maintenance, and shared symptom reduction, through neuropeptide Y mediated improvements in putative factors (self-regulation and reward sensitivity) known to improve exercise related self-efficacy and motivation.
This study evaluates the potential association between pain catastrophizing thoughts and the ability to dampen pain via endogenous descending inhibition. Half of the participants are persons with chronic low back pain and the other half are age and gender-matched controls
A two-armed randomized controlled clinical trial with blind assessments and a follow-up period of 4 weeks is developed. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the combination of heat and TENS (HeatTENS device) on pain in people with chronic low back pain. A sample of 70 patients will be recruited. Following baseline measurements, subjects will be randomly allocated to the experimental or the control group. The experimental group will be asked to use the device on a daily basis, 30 minutes per day. The control group will have no device. After 4 weeks of FU, measurements will be repeated.
This pilot project will provide an understanding of the contextual variables responsible for chronic low back pain. These variables include, genetic variation, pain sensitivity, reactivity, pain catastrophizing, perceived stress and kinesiphobia. The purpose is to understand the initial efficacy of self-management (SM) strategies on each of these contextual variables, in an effort to inform a personalized approach to managing chronic low back pain and its effect on improved health outcomes.
Pretending with the use of accelerometers and pressure platform, determine indicators that are useful to therapists to assess postural control and balance, to subsequently allow to evaluate the effect of therapeutic interventions through therapeutic exercise of motor control in patients with chronic low back pain .
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common and frequently-occurring disease giving rise to low back pain and (or) leg pain. There are about 1.5 million people with LDH-related pain, accounting for 10% of outpatients each year in China. The mechanism of LDH-related pain is that the degeneration causes the protrusion of the intervertebral disc directly to the lower lumbar nerve root or spinal cord, and the chemical stimulation plays a key role in it. Currently, LDH treatments are mainly divided into conservative treatment, surgical treatment and minimally invasive treatment. The minimally invasive technique is a new technology that has been arising in recent years, with small wound, little bleeding and quick recovery. It mainly includes collagenase dissolving, laser decompression, radiofrequency ablation, etc. Intervertebral disc radiofrequency ablation is an early application of minimally invasive technique with a wide range of applications in a long time. The percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) is a new technique, which is applied in clinics with shorter time, and the implementation and efficacy of the technique need to be further discussed. A case-control clinical trial is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of PTED with radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of LDH. Main outcome is Visual Analogue Scale for leg pain, secondary outcomes are Oswestry disability index, quality of life assessment, Burns Depression Checklist, recovery rate, complications, operation time and radiation exposure time, etc. The follow-up time points are 7 days, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-operation.
Motor control, notably expressed through the complexity of the variability of the locomotor pattern, is disturbed at the central level by an apprehension of pain and movement, more than pain itself (or by biomechanical / structural damage of the spine) in chronic low back pain (cLBP) patients. The aim of this study is to control that variability is reduced during gait at comfortable level and to test that distraction can reduce pain avoidance and therefore increase variability in cLBP patients.
