View clinical trials related to Low Back Pain.
Filter by:Low back pain is one of the most common conditions for which patients are sent to physiotherapy clinics. 84% of people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime, and over 50% have experienced it more than once, according to research. However, diagnosis and, in particular, the provision of specialized back pain therapy remain difficult.
This study aims to measure the effects of spinal manipulation on Chronic Spinal Pain by assessing Muscle Mechanical Properties (MMPs) using MyotonPRO®, Mechanical Perception Threshold (MPT) using Von Frey monofilaments, and Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) using an algometer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either spinal manipulation or placebo groups to compare effects on MMPs, MPT, and PPT. Assessments will occur at three time points: baseline, immediately post-intervention (real or simulated), and 24 hours post-intervention. This research targets individuals with chronic spinal pain, providing insights into the potential benefits of spinal manipulation in managing this condition.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of deep breathing pattern on dynamic balance in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain versus healthy controls. Secondary to compare between dynamic balance control during deep versus regular breathing patterns in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain and healthy controls. Further, to detect whether pain intensity differs during balance testing applying either deep or regular breathing in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.
Pilates has emerged as a prominent exercise therapy gaining recognition among healthcare professionals for its potential benefits in managing low back pain (LBP). As healthcare practitioners increasingly incorporate Pilates into clinical practice, understanding its effects on LBP becomes crucial. This study explores the rationale behind Pilates as a therapeutic intervention for LBP, its diverse applications, varying programme durations, and the significance of long-term follow-ups. Through an examination of existing studies, the aim is to unravel the nuanced impact of Pilates on pain intensity, functional disability, and overall quality of life for individuals experiencing LBP. Furthermore, this study addresses gaps in current research, guiding the way for an extended exploration into the ideal duration of Pilates programmes and the implications of sustained, long-term engagement. Throughout this research study, the following research question was adopted: What is the perception and actual outcomes of a Pilates programme in the management of LBP in the short and long term? The null hypothesis (H0) for this study was that there is no significant difference following a 12 weeks Pilates programme in all outcome measures. The alternative hypothesis (H1) stated that there is significant difference in outcomes following a 12-week Pilates programme in the management of LBP.
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of caudal epidural steroid injection and caudal epidural pulsed radiofrequency stimulation in the relief of symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis. This evaluation used the numerical rating scale (NRS) to assess pain relief and the Medication Quantification Scale III (MQS III) to assess the effectiveness of the interventions on medication consumption. The rates of adverse events related to the interventions were also compared.
Thirty male and female hypertension patients with chronic mechanical non-specific low back pain were included in this randomized controlled study conducted at the Ababa Private Physical Therapy Center in Beni-Seuf, Egypt. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups; the study group A control (n = 15) had a supervised conventional core stability, while the study group B (n = 15) received a home exercise program. In both groups' patients had evaluations before and after their six-week course of therapy. Modified-modified Schober test was used to assess the active back range of motion (ROM), Arabic version of Oswestry disability index (ODI) was utilized to evaluate functional disability, and visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure pain.
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Static Stretching Versus Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas combined with core stability exercises in Non-Specific Low Back Pain"
This study is a randomized control trial and the purpose of this study to determine the effects of abdominal muscle activation training on non-specific low back pain; using pressure biofeedback in comparison with surface electromyography biofeedback: a randomized control trial.
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 66 community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain and follow up them for 8 weeks. This study aims to test the preliminary effect of a mindfulness-based meditation (MBM) intervention on pain and symptoms among community-dwelling older adults with chronic low back pain, and also to test the effect of the MBM intervention on the host Gut-Brain Axis (GBA).
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training, core strengthening exercises, and vitamin D supplementation in reducing low back pain (LBP) among postmenopausal women.
