View clinical trials related to Chronic Low Back Pain.
Filter by:A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the common causes of morbidity worldwide, with a one-month prevalence of 23.3 %. Number of people with LBP reached 577 million people in 2020. LBP has been the leading cause of years lived with disability from 1990 to 2017. The highest incidence of LBP is in people in their third decade of age. LBP is a complex disease difficult to treat as most of these cases (80 - 90 %) are classified as non-specific meaning that the pain cannot be attributed to any specific injury or pathology. Until now exercise therapy is commonly used as the treatment of choice in the revalidation program of LBP. The aim of physical treatment is to improve function and prevent disability from getting worse. LumbaCure® is a robotic system driven by a proprietary movement algorithm to induce a specific and controlled mobilization of the hips and the low back in patient requiring treatment by physical exercises due to orthopedic disorder, especially low back pain. The investigation include an intervention period of 4 weeks The main objective is to compare the impact on disability (Oswestry disability Index) and movement performance of the interventions (LumbaCure® vs physical exercises supervised by the physiotherapist) in two parallel groups of patients suffering from chronic low back pain. The investigation includes an intervention period of 4 weeks and a follow-up period of 6 months (post intervention period).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Discure System therapy in subjects with early to moderate degeneration of the disc (DDD).
The aim of this study was to examine the Turkish validity of the Pain Behavior Scale in a population with chronic non-specific low back pain and to examine both intra-rater and inter-rater reliability. In addition, since this test package includes a series of functional activities, it is aimed to assess pain behaviors during functional movement in this population and to verify the test-retest reliability of physical performance tests.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of brunkow exercise program and lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific low back pain
This study will identify unique signatures that people have which can cause pain by evaluating biological, psychological, and social markers using artificial intelligence. These markers can be used to accurately predict the response of diverse individuals with chronic low back pain (cLBP) to Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. This will help enhance clinician decision-making and the targeted treatment of chronic pain. The overall objective is to use a unique machine learning (ML) approach to determine the biomarker signature of persons undergoing mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) treatment for their chronic low back pain (cLBP). This signature will facilitate clinical prediction and monitoring of patient response to MBSR treatment. The design of the study is a single-arm clinical trial of the evidence-based MBSR program for patients with cLBP.
The goal of this qualitative is to understand the views and opinions of patients with persistent lower back pain patients who are awaiting physiotherapy treatment with regards sleep their sleep health. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Identify whether Patients with persistent lower back pain awaiting physiotherapy consider sleep health relevant to their condition. - Understand whether persistent lower back pain patients awaiting physiotherapy consider sleep health within the remit of Physiotherapy? - Understand how persistent lower back pain patients may want sleep health to be assessed or managed within an outpatient musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Setting? Participants will undertake one semi structured interview and complete two secondary outcome measures: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Pain, Enjoyment of Life and General Activity Scale. Data will be analysed via Thematic Analysis.
The study was designed as a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial with 8-week Vitamin D3 and physical activity intervention. The protocol was approved by Independent Bioethics Committee for Scientific Research at Medical University of Gdańsk (No. 525/2018), in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. We enrol 40 patient (aged ≥ 35), Patients diagnosed with chronic pain in the lumbar spine, qualified for surgical treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery Medicinal Unit in Gdańsk. Participation in the study was voluntary, and the condition for participation was obtaining informed consent from the patient.
The VERABAND™ is a newly-developed, disposable, wearable activity monitor. The researchers will assess clinician satisfaction with the usability and likelihood of clinical adoption of the newly-developed, disposable, wearable activity monitor, across multiple clinical sites in the chronic low back pain (cLBP) population.
Patients with chronic low back pain may have altered endogenous mechanisms, which can be evaluated with conditioned modulation paradigms. Mobilization with movement has demonstrated improvements in endogenous analgesic mechanisms in conditions such as knee osteoarthritis or lateral epicondylalgia. However, its effects have not yet been studied in patients with chronic low back pain. The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of mobilization with movement compared to placebo on endogenous mechanisms in patients with chronic low back pain.
