Filter by:The primary objective of this double-blind randomized control trial (RCT) is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of LLLT as adjunctive therapy to standard exercise treatment in patients with non-specific chronic LBP. Specifically, the study will aim to evaluate the effectiveness of adjunct LLLT in the reduction of pain in patients as well as determine its long-term functional outcomes.
Low back pain (LBP) is an extremely common problem that most people experience at some point in their life. It is the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world. In India, occurrence of LBP is also alarming. Nearly 60% of the population has significant back pain at some time in their life. In Brazil, spinal pain (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) was considered the second most prevalent complaint, affecting approximately 13.5% of the population. It is estimated that globally 39% of the population will have at least one episode of back pain throughout their lives. In episodes of pain greater than 12 weeks (classified as chronic lower back pain), the prognosis is unfavorable and is highly associated with high treatment costs and work absenteeism. Non-specific low back pain" [NSLBP] is defined as, low back pain that is not attributable to a recognizable or known specific pathology - bone disorder in the spine [fracture], radicular nerve compression, slipped intervertebral disk, stenosis in lumbar spine, inflammatory disorder of spine [ankylosing spondylitis], cauda equine syndrome, congenital back disorder, infection in the spine [discitis], tumour in lumbar area, osteoporosis, meningitis, Cancer, HIV, autoimmune disorder [RA].
The study design is prospective, post-market, exploratory, single-centre, rate randomised, double-blinded (subject, evaluator blinded; programmer un-blinded). The study is designed to evaluate the wash-in and wash-out time of FAST (Fast Acting Sub-perception Therapy) at 90 Hz and various frequencies above and below 90 Hz. A prospective study design will eliminate the bias associated with case selection in a retrospective review and will ensure that identical procedures are followed for data capture and review. Randomization of rates will be used to minimise the sequence effects and the impact of carryover effects, as well as addressing issues that may be related to order effect. The electronic diary will be used to log the subjects' pain intensity and medication usage. Additionally, the numerical rating scale for measuring pain intensity is a validated measure and has been used in other randomized controlled trials to measure the outcomes of spinal cord stimulation (SCS). The electronic real-time NRS (Numerical rating score) recording will be used to log the subjects' pain intensity and time during wash-in evaluation session. This study aims to evaluate pain relief and wash-in/wash-out frequency sensitivity using FAST at different stimulation rates. The different randomization period included in the study design allows for comparing these treatments using one of the stimulation rates as an active control.
the purpose of this trial is to investigate and compare between lumbopelvic stabilization and pilates exercises on gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on the foot in chronic nonspecific low back pain?
Patients with chronic low back pain may have altered pain processing, making them vulnerable to pain or disability. It can be measured with test like pressure pain threshold, temporal summation or conditioned pain modulation. Manual therapy has shown improve this pain processing variables in other conditions (like knee osteoarthritis or lateral elbow pain), although the quality of the evidence is low in terms of temporal summation and controversial in terms of conditioned pain modulation. There are not studies that had investigated the impact of manual therapy techniques on pain processing in patients with chronic low back pain.
The main objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial that investigates the effects of an 8-week group exercise program on pain, disability, fear of falling, overall impression of recovery, frequency of falls and level of physical activity in elderly people with nonspecific low back pain.
The purpose of this research is to integrate the meditative components of integrative restoration (iRest) yoga nidra with simple and safe movement sequences derived from established yoga postures and physical therapy interventions for chronic nonspecific low back pain and to use telemedicine technology to facilitate the intervention in a diverse socioeconomic and racial/ethnic population. This project will first systematically adapt the iRest yoga intervention for the incorporation of movement using a consultative and iterative process followed by a pilot intervention to assess the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of this program for pain, back related function and to address body-mind regulation and biopsychosocial-spiritual well-being. Hypothesis: a yoga intervention emphasizing meditative movement and relaxation will be safe for remote delivery and effective for biopsychosocial-spiritual outcomes for people with chronic low back pain.
This study is a 12-week open-label, prospective, observational study to assess how subjects with chronic mechanical back pain respond to cannabidiol (CBD)
Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPP) and pregnancy-related lumbar pain (PLBP) are two distinct symptoms, which can occur together as lumbar-pelvic pain.The primary objective is to measure the impact of osteopathic manipulative treatment on pregnancy-related lumbar and pelvic pain. The secondary objective is to study the interaction between pain and psycho-social factors during the gestational period.
CONTEXT: Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint in gymnasts. A deficit in the control of lumbopelvic movement has been related to low back pain. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of an education session about low back motor control during hip extension in the lumbopelvic sagittal movement control of elite gymnasts. DESIGN: single-group, pretest-posttest clinical trial. PARTICIPANTS: 70 Elite Rhythmic Gymnasts INTERVENTION: One standardized theoretical practical session of 15 Min that includes anatomical issues and one practical exercise in quadruped position for controlling the movement of lumbar spine during hip extension and flexion.
