Filter by:Low back pain is the fifth most common reason for doctor visits, affecting about 60-80% of people in their lifetime. Despite this, there are not enough diagnostic and treatment methods in the literature to fully elucidate non-specific low back pain. In this case, the research showed that non-specific low back pain should be handled with a biopsychosocial approach, and its relationship with fascia and myofascial meridians should be investigated.
Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent among adolescents from the general population and in general practice. Not only is LBP associated with pain and functional limitation among patients, also the socioeconomic burden of the condition is substantial worldwide. Chronic cases of LBP are not uncommon in adolescents, especially among those whose parents are suffering from chronic pain. Several individual factors influence LBP among adolescents. Especially previous episodes of LBP, low pain self-efficacy levels and worries about LBP has been identified as worsening factors in regard to pain and disability. At present there is little evidence to inform a large randomized experimental study to investigate the effect of a given treatment modality in this group of young patients. Furthermore, it remains to be investigated if individual factors, such as, pain self-efficacy levels and worries about LBP may mediate the effect of a behavioral intervention regarding pain and disability. However, the single case experimental design allows for close monitoring of the patients during a controlled treatment course. As such, the single case experimental design study can provide vital and fundamental knowledge regarding treatment effect and mediating factors in relation to an intervention aimed at improving self-management in adolescent LBP patients. This study aims to investigate the effect of an intervention to improve self-management among adolescent LBP patients assessed by pain intensity and functional disability in a single case experimental design. We further aimed to investigate if LBP related worries and pain self-efficacy would mediate the effect of the intervention. We hypothesized that the self-management intervention would lead to lower pain intensity scores and decrease disability levels on a patient level.
To investigate how elderlies (+65 years old) everyday movements, general strength and dynamic balance are affected after an 8-12-week training period using the "SSA Elderly Performance system" or "Strong and Steady".
Non-specific low back pain in one of the main causes of disability for health care worldwide. The effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, of kinesio tape and of manual therapy in the treatment of low back pain is evaluated, but not a comparison of these techniques. Moreover, can these techniques be combined?
PEN(percutaneous epidural neuroplasty) can be performed percutaneously, may be manipulated to mechanically break up adhesions by catheter, while various agents, such as anesthetics, corticosteroids, hyaluronidase, and hypertonic saline are injected. In endoscopic epidural neuroplasty (EEN), a flexible catheter is inserted into the sacral hiatus to precisely place the injection in the epidural space and onto the nerve root. Both EEN and PEN can eliminate the deleterious effects of scar formation, which can physically prevent the direct application of drugs to the nerves, and may provide pain relief in patients who have not responded to epidural blocks, physical therapy, or medication. In this study, visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) of patients with low back and radicular pain were compared in patients who had received EEN or PEN at 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months after EEN or PEN.
Objective: This study evaluates the effect of 12-week clinical pilates exercises on young adults with mechanical low back pain. Design: This is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: This study was conducted in a university's physiotherapy and exercise practice laboratory. Cases: A total of 63 mechanical low back pain volunteers were included. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention group consisting of clinical Pilates exercises for 12 weeks (n = 31) or the control group not receiving any treatment (n = 32).
There is growing evidence on the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain and disability secondary to various disorders. However, very few studies have explored their effects in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of post isometric relaxation exercises and core stability exercises on pain in postpartum Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
The aim of this study is to find and compare the effects of passive translatoric intervertebral glides and manual segmental traction in patients with mechanical low back pain on pain ,range of motion and disability. Randomized controlled trial done at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed teaching hospital Gujrat. Total 34 participants will be enrolled (17 in each group A and group B. Group A received PA glides while group B received manual traction 25-65 years participants were included in study. Study duration was of 3 months .Sampling technique applied was purposive non probability sampling technique. Tools used in the study are (NPRS),Modified Oswestry disability index. Data was analyzed through SPSS 22.
The study determined the effects of manual Lumbar traction and prone traction on some clinical variables of patients with long standing low back pain.
The study format is a prospective non-randomized study to be conducted at a single site. Up to twenty consecutive DFLBP patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria and who provide informed consent will be enrolled in the study. The patients will receive treatment compliant with national guidelines. Appropriate patients will be injected with 0.5cc of ExoFlo into each of their affected facet joint(s). The facets to be treated will be determined by imaging and Dr. Wilson. Up to three vertebral levels can be treated. Patients will be assessed with pre and post-treatment physical examination. At baseline, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be documented. BPI and VAS scoring will be collected at 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after each treatment. Adverse events will be monitored by follow-up phone calls at 24, 48 hours, 1 week after the procedure and at all follow-up visits. Patients drug usage will be monitored. Patient will be instructed to call the office any time after treatment if they are experiencing any adverse events. A patient can leave the study at any time.
