Both orthopedic manual therapy (OMT) and dry needling (DN) have been shown to be effective at reducing pain and disability for individuals with low back pain (LBP). It is unclear if one intervention, or in combination with one another, is more effective. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the clinical effectiveness of OMT or DN alone compared with combined OMT + DN on pain and disability for patients with LBP. Both within and between group effects will be presented. Patient factors such as; generalized anxiety disorder, depression, fear-avoidance behaviors, pain catastrophizing, and sleep-quality have negatively correlated with pain and disability outcomes in patients experiencing chronic LBP. Moreover, sleep deprivation and pain related fear of movement functionally can change a person's pain inhibitory pathways leading to hyeralgesia. These factors have been individually analyzed regarding their effects on pain related outcomes, which limits our understanding of how clustering patient factors might affect recovery. A secondary aim will involve determining the relationship between patient factors and clinical outcomes for individuals with LBP who receive DN and/or manual therapy.
the study aims to compare the effect of regular back exercises with shockwave therapy by treating male patients with non-specific low back pain between the age of (20-40). Who will be devided into 3 groups, and will be treated by shockwave therapy , exercises or both combined. After signing a consent form, patients will be assigned to the groups blindly, so the patients will not know if they are in the experimental or control group. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this study states that: o Research hypothesis: there will be a significant difference between the radial ESWT and back exercises in reducing LBP
The Mezieres method was born in France with the physiotherapist Francoiçe Mezieres, who in the middle of the previous century began a series of observations that led her to rediscover body characteristics to understand it in a revolutionary way. Among the most important contributions is the first description of muscle chains, from which different global physiotherapy techniques have emerged. The method also proposes a form of intercorporal relationship different from that used in classical physiotherapy and gives way for people who receive this treatment to improve their body disposition and make use of their body in a conscientious manner. From this, in the present study we try to understand this method as one of the ones that promotes the "Use of self". In addition to identifying other aspects related to the meaning of the corporal intersubjectivity for the physiotherapist and for the person being treated, looking for the subjective construction of effectiveness and determining the objective effectiveness by means of objective measurements of the body. The present research project use a mix method, it aims quantify the bodily benefits when applying the method and understand from the subjectivity the implications for the self during the body activity of the Mezieres Method. The study will be mixed and in parallel with 82 people diagnosed with mechanical back pain. Three assessments will be made: one initial, one at the end of the intervention and one last follow-up six weeks after the end of the treatment. The tests to be used will assess pain, functional limitation related to low back pain, quality of life related to health, flexibility, range of motion and posture. For the intervention, participants will be divided into 2 groups, group one will receive Method Mézières and group two will receive conventional physiotherapy according to the protocols of a clinical institution in Bogotá. Parallel to the intervention, the participating individuals and physiotherapists will keep a field diary that will facilitate the understanding of the body experience by performing the method studied. At the end of the study, it is intended to know the objective effectiveness by means of the comparison made in the two groups in the variables studied. In addition, an interpretation of the body experience is expected when performing the Mezieres Method in comparison with conventional physiotherapy. This interpretation of hermeneutic character will revolve around the theoretical construction of the "Use of self"; This concept is recognized as a technology of the self that will be pursued through the Mézières Method. By promoting the "Use of self" the person can recognize their body and appropriate what happens with their locomotor system, decreasing the symptoms of pain and improving the prognosis of care for people who have these symptoms.
To evaluate the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, Negative and positive predictive value) of skeletal co-registered SPECT/CT imaging in the detection of the etiology of low back pain in adolescent and adult patients
Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting humans. Lower back supports are a common device used in order to alleviate the pain. All the available back supports are wrapped around the lower back and abdomen and act as static support devices. "The hug" is a new dynamic back support where the participant actively improves his/her posture and strengthens the muscle of the lower back. This trial compares both devices and their effect on reducing lower back pain.
