Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the morphological changes in the lumbar multifidus, Erector spinae and Quadratus lumborum muscles and to investigate whether they are correlated with trunk extensor muscle strength in CNSLBP subjects. and to compare between these morphological changes during rest and contraction and to compare these results with control group. Twenty-nine subjects with CNSLBP and 29 age-matched healthy controls will be assessed by ultrasonography to detect the morphological changes of these muscles during rest and contraction ,and assessed strength of back extensors by hand-held dynamometer, and assessed functional disability by Arabic version of Oswestry disability index . They will be asked to sign the informed consent form.
This project focuses on the effectiveness of a Chatbot in promoting adherence to home physiotherapy treatment for patients with lumbar musculoskeletal injuries. The use of digital technologies and media are an important option to complement in-person treatment and promote adherence to treatment at home. The research aims to verify whether the use of a Chatbot as a means of communication can produce improvements in patient adherence and clinical results.
Objective: Determine the benefits of including a Stretching technique of the anterior part of the diaphragm in the supine position in the conventional physiotherapy treatment protocol applied to insurance company patients with mechanical low back pain. design: The aim is to carry out an experimental, analytical, prospective, longitudinal, randomized, single-blind study with a blinded evaluator, with an experimental group (EG) to which a manual technique on the diaphragm will be included in the conventional physiotherapy treatment (manual therapy and electrotherapy). and a control group (CG) to which only conventional physiotherapy treatment is administered. Subject: Patient diagnosed with subacute or chronic mechanical low back pain by a specialist doctor and who has attended in "Fisioclinic" physiotherapy clinic, Older than 18 years-old, Indistinct sex, Diaphragm dysfunction. Methods: it is proposed to carry out a study in which two groups of subjects with mechanical low back pain will be compared. One group will receive conventional physiotherapy, with electrotherapy and massage therapy, while the other group will receive the same conventional physiotherapy plus a specific technique aimed at the diaphragm muscle. Ten treatment sessions will be carried out daily from Monday to Friday. Different variables will be evaluated using scientifically validated methods, such as manual diagnostic tests for lumbar mobility, algometry to measure muscle pain, cirtometry to evaluate chest mobility, validated questionnaires for quality of life and spirometry to measure respiratory parameters. These variables will be measured before and after each treatment session and later a week, a month and four months after the last intervention.
The purpose of this study is to investigate influence of a combined interferential (IF) current stimulation and abdominal draw-in exercises on the abdominal muscle thickness, TrA endurance, pain intensity and function disability in patients with chronic non-specific LBP (CNSLBP) CNSLBP is considered the second most common health problem after headache. The lifetime of LBP among Egyptian patients in a family center reached 48%, which indicates that LBP is a prevalent symptom that deserves more attention. One hypothesis for the development of LBP is due to a dysfunction in the control of the abdominal and back muscles and this change in spinal control is due in part to in local segmental muscles dysfunction, such as the transversus abdominis (TrA). Interferential therapy (IFT) is capable of achieving uniform stimulation and high reproducibility, it is thought to be less stressful, as well as enhance deep muscle contraction. Also, there is the specific training of the TrA provided functional and therapeutic benefits, such as unloading of the spine, anticipatory postural control, intersegmental stabilization of the spine, and long-term pain relief. Draw-in is a typical TrA exercise. Many studies have mainly focused on the morphological aspects of paraspinal muscles which play an essential role in patients with CNSLBP while our study focused on influence of a combined IFT stimulation and abdominal draw-in exercises on the abdominal muscle thickness, TrA endurance, pain intensity and function disability in patients with chronic non-specific LBP (CNSLBP
The Management of Low Back Pain in the Emergency Department Worldwide, low back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, and it constitutes one of the primary complaints in emergency departments. A review of the literature reveals studies comparing ibuprofen to various agents (such as paracetamol, nimesulide, acetaminophen), and these studies suggest the use of ibuprofen due to its similar or superior efficacy and its safety profile. However, there is a lack of randomized controlled double-blind comparisons between the commonly recommended single doses of ibuprofen, which are 400 mg and 800 mg. Therefore, the objective of our planned study is to compare the analgesic efficacy of ibuprofen in the forms of 400 mg and 800 mg, which can be administered as a single dose, in the treatment of acute mechanical low back pain, as recommended in all guidelines.
Prediabetes, characterized by elevated HbA1c levels, is a common precursor to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested a potential link between prediabetes and nonspecific back pain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess whether reducing HbA1c levels through lifestyle interventions and, along with the correction of vitamin D and magnesium, can alleviate nonspecific back pain in prediabetic patients.
Superior cluneal nerve entrapment (SCN) is a painful symptomatic condition related to compression by the thoracolumbar and gluteal bands of nerve outcrop, above the iliac crest. This syndrome is not considered in the classical differential diagnosis of lumbosacral spine disorders and is almost unknown in Italy. It is a neuropathic pain, acute, subacute, or chronic, evoked by mechanical stress at the level of the sensory territory corresponding to the superior cluneal nerve, easily found anatomically and evoked at a trigger point on the posterior iliac crest approximately 70mm from the midline and 45mm from the posterior superior iliac spine. SCN entrapment syndrome represents a not so infrequent syndrome. It is easily framed and treatment is effective in most cases. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome represents an excellent option in all those patients with low back pain that cannot be otherwise framed and resolved.
This observational study seeks to explore the potential association between thoracolumbar fascia characteristics and low back pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.
The aim of this study is to examine the effects of a Virtual Reality-based induction to modify positive body image in individuals with low back pain. Participants will receive both a positive and a negative induction of the appreciation of body functionality. This induction consists of an elaborated narrative to increase/decrease the appreciation of functionality. In addition, each induction includes a virtual costume representing their body's strengths or weaknesses to enrich the induction. After both induction procedures, participants will perform activities of daily living involving the use of the lumbar region in virtual reality. Subsequently, the different variables of interest will be assessed before and after each induction. Researchers will analyze changes in the variables of interest after induction procedures compared to baseline.
