Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the v-siting posture stabilization and clamshell exercises on pain and disability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.
Recently, it has been reported that the thoracolumbar fascia may play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic low back pain.There is still no standard method for imaging and analyzing the thoracolumbar fascia.The aim of this study is to advance the understanding of the role of the thoracolumbar fascia in chronic low back pain as well as to advance the analysis methods.
The investigators will test the hypothesis that patients with low back pain associated with lumbar disc aberrancy will have elevated MGO-protein levels circulating in the blood that are comparable to patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
MCKENZIE EXERCISE VERSUS WILLIAMS EXERCISE ON DECREASING PAIN IN ADOLESCENT WITH NON SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN Low back pain is uncommon in the first decade of life,but prevalence increases steeply during the teenage years; around 40% of 9-18-year olds in high-income, medium-income, and low-income countries report having had low back pain. NSLBP represents about 85% of LBP patients seen in primary care. Non-specific low back pain is one of the most common health problems and is the leading cause of disability in young adults. During school age, the overall risk of low back pain is similar to adults, with prevalence rates as high as 70% to 80% by the age of 20 years old Non-specific low back pain is defined as low back pain not attributable to a recognisable, known specific pathology. Understanding back pain in adolescents is crucial to obtain timely diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. Proper treatment and management of LBP in the adolescent years can minimize back pain lasting into adulthood Non pharmacological treatments are emphasised over pharmacological interventions in the management of persistent non-specific low back pain. natinal institute for health and care excellence(NICE) 2016 draft guideline endorses self-management, exercise, manual therapy, psychological therapies, combined physical and psychological programmes, return-to-work programmes, and radiofrequency denervation. Back exercises can be an inexpensive and easy option of treatment for NSLBP and proven to be effective. McKenzie extension exercise and William flexion exercise are the most common types of back exercises. Selection the appropriate treatment method is important. So this study will be aimed to compare between Mckenzie and William's exercises in order to find which method has better effect on adolescents with NSLBP.
Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition. McKenzie's extension protocol is considered to be the gold standard physical therapy treatment for persons with acute discogenic low back pain, however the evidence is deficient in terms of additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in the management of discogenic low back pain. Thus, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of McKenzie's extension protocol in the management discogenic low back pain, but will also look into the additive benefits of sustained natural apophyseal glides in combination with McKenzie's extension protocol in the management of discogenic low back pain.
The aim of this randomized clinical trial will be to compare the efficacy between acupuncture and laser acupuncture on pain and disability in people with chronic nonspecific low back pain .
Low back pain is a health problem that causes clinical, social and economic losses all over the world and affects the majority of the population. More than 80% of adults in the general population experience low back pain at least once in their lifetime. Although the incidence of chronic low back pain is so high, 85% of these pains do not have a pathoanatomical cause and these pains are defined as non-specific chronic low back pain. Exercise therapy is the key to the conservative management of nonspecific chronic low back pain. Lumbar stabilization exercises based on the principle of motor control of core muscles have also become popular in rehabilitation programs for low back pain in recent years.The core region is the lumbopelvic region of the body. The aim of the stabilization exercises is to teach to use the neutral position of the lumbar region and to keep the load on the dynamic and static structures at the lowest level. Core stabilization training begins with teaching the contraction of the transversus abdominus, deep spinal and multifidus muscle.Then, these exercises are planned specifically for the person from immobile positions to movements positions, from simple movements to combined movements, from gross patterns to fine motor patterns, from symmetrical movements to asymmetric movements. These exercises can be developed specifically for the region and pathology with the functions of the muscles in the region of the pathology. The lumbar multifidus muscle is known to be an important stabilizer of the lumbar region. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the lumbar multifidus muscle has short, thick, dense muscle fibers compared to other lumbar region muscles.These dense muscle fibers are compressed in a small space and have a high mass.This morphology allows the lumbar multifidus muscle to produce great force in a small working area and makes the muscle ideal for stability. In addition, the position of the lumbar multifidus muscle between the vertebrae increases its importance for stability. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of core stabilization exercises on the cross-sectional area (CSA) and amount of adipose tissue of the lumbar multifidus muscle in adults with chronic low back pain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and also to examine the effects of these exercises on pain, functionality and lumbopelvic stability.
1. Specific Aim: To show the safety and efficacy of prolotherapy injection for chronic sacroiliac and myofascial lumbar pain while standardizing an ultrasound guided injection technique 2. Specific Aim: To demonstrate that dextrose prolotherapy subjectively decreases lumbar back pain (LBP) associated with chronic sacroiliac (SI) and myofascial lumbar back pain/injury in patients with Hypermobile-Type Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). 3. Specific Aim: To use ultrasound (US) guidance to identify SI and myofascial lumbar back pain/injury for targeted dextrose prolotherapy treatment and to provide objective measures of decreasing inflammation via Power Doppler and ligament repair. 4. Specific Aim: To determine if US-guided dextrose prolotherapy decreases the direct costs of care for chronic LBP in contrast to conventional therapies by reducing return visits, specialty referrals, physical therapy, medications, and unnecessary procedures.
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
