Filter by:The goal of this non-significant risk study is to determine whether stimulation with transcutaneous waveforms applied on the outside of the body and subcutaneously conducted to the lumbar medial branch nerve elicits visible (via ultrasonic imaging) or palpable multifidus muscle activation within the short-term (<28 day) placement of the Neuronoff PNS Injectrode F1 in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the PNS Injectrode F1 be safely inserted on the lumbar medial branch nerve for up to 28 days? - Can the PNS Injectrode F1 be safely used to stimulate the lumbar medial branch nerve to activate the multifidus muscle? Participants will - Receive transcutaneous stimulation of the lower back prior to device placement, after device placement, and prior to explant - Insert the PNS Injectrode F1 device on the lumbar medial branch nerve - Have the device inserted for up to 28 days and then explanted - Visit Schedule: Screening/Enrollment, Day 0, Day 2 (email), Day 25, 2 Days Post Explant (email), Day 35
The purpose of this study is to investigate specific clinical characteristics, amongst those with low back pain, that identify patient appropriateness for Intermuscular Dry-Needling (IMDN) and to develop a prediction tool that can be used by clinicians.
The goal of this investigation is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the LumbaCure® device in elderly people suffering from low back pain. The study is being carried out at several sites, in nursing homes, in order to reach the elderly patients most at risk of a sedentary lifestyle.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is defined as low back pain lasting longer than three months. CLBP is one of the most common and expensive diseases in terms of both labour loss and treatment costs, and it is very important to treat it with conventional (non-surgical) treatment methods. Clinical guidelines recommend active treatments that address psychosocial factors and focus on functional improvement. Within this approach, low back protection training, called low back school, is recognised as an effective and economical method. This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar school training or core stabilisation exercises on pain, mobilisation and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. In this research, patients coming to Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit will be included in the study. Patients will be taken in Seydişehir Vocational School of Health Services Vocational School vocational skills laboratory and Seydişehir State Hospital physiotherapy unit. As a result of the power analysis, 64 patients are planned to be included. Simple randomisation will be used. Sealed opaque envelopes will be prepared by the research team. Opaque envelopes will be determined as 32 (core exercise group) and 32 (B) (lumbar school). The pain intensity of the patients will be determined by the Visual Analogue Scale, which is a self-report scale, and the functional disability levels will be determined by the Oswestry Disability Index and the quality of life levels will be determined by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Module (WHOQOL-BREF) and spinal mobility will be determined by measuring the hand-finger ground distance. Patients will be divided into two groups as core exercise group and lumbar school training group and will be evaluated before and after treatment and training.

This study will investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilisation techniques Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS) and Natural Apophyseal Glides (NAGs) on pain, disability, and range of motion (ROM) in obese individuals with mechanical low back pain (LBP).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare between the effect of positional release technique and cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with chronic non specific low back pain. The main question aims to answer :Is there any differences of using positional release techniques versus cognitive behavioral therapy on patients with chronic low back pain?
More than 50% of women experience pain in the lumbopelvic area during pregnancy. The prevalence of pain increases with the duration of pregnancy. Trunk muscles are needed to sustain low levels of activity for an extended duration. Preventing muscles from fatiguing is very important. Manual therapy techniques can minimize loading of the spine while improving muscular endurance and preventing fatigue. Moreover, inhibition of the trigger points of the spinal musculature is an important factor to consider.
Chronic non-specific low back pain is a common condition that can cause disability, physical and psychological impairment, limitations in daily activities, and participation restrictions. It also has significant economic and social impacts. Clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological interventions as the first-line treatment, including exercises, psychological therapies, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Pharmacological therapies are used when non-pharmacological approaches are not effective. Alternative therapies like cupping therapy have gained attention, but their efficacy is still debated due to limited high-quality studies. Further research is needed to determine the true benefits and effectiveness of cupping therapy in managing chronic low back pain. A recent study found that dry cupping therapy was not superior to sham cupping in improving pain, physical function, mobility, quality of life, psychological symptoms, or medication use in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain. However, it's important to note that the study used dry cupping therapy in isolation, which may not reflect typical clinical practice. Well-designed clinical trials can provide a better understanding of the potential impact of cupping therapy on various aspects of chronic low back pain. Hence, the primary goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of true cupping therapy combined with routine physiotherapy versus sham cupping therapy combined with routine physiotherapy in patients suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain. The study aims to address the following key questions: - Does true dry cupping therapy, when combined with routine physiotherapy, provide greater improvement in pain and functional disability for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain? - Does true dry cupping therapy, when combined with routine physiotherapy, result in a higher improvement in quality of life for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain? Participants in the intervention group will undergo 10 sessions of dry cupping therapy, with each session lasting 5 minutes and conducted three times per week. During the sessions, the therapist will move the cups longitudinally in upward-downward and downward-upward directions. In the control group, participants will assume the same positions as the intervention group, but two cups with small holes (<2mm in diameter) will be used to release negative pressure within seconds.

Low back pain is an important health problem that is common in public and causes serious socio-economic losses. Low back pain that persists for more than 12 weeks is defined as chronic low back pain. The prognosis in patients with chronic low back pain is generally not good and it significantly affects the patient's daily living activities and workforce. In the clinical course of chronic low back pain, patients generally reduce some activities or avoid them altogether due to fear of pain or concern about worsening of the initial lesion. This fear is called "kinesiophobia", which is an important factor in the chronicity of low back pain and the resulting functional disabilities. Kinesiophobia causes loss of flexibility, decreased muscle performance, muscle wasting, and all of these lead to a decrease in social and physical activities, which perpetuates and aggravates the disability. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between the frequency of kinesiophobia in chronic low back pain patients and age, gender, body mass index, educational status, occupation, pain intensity and disability, and to examine the effect of kinesiophobia on quality of life.
