Filter by:The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of HXTL in the treatment of NSLBP based on TCM principles and to compare the clinical outcomes of different syndromes of NSLBP with celecoxib.In this study, 80 patients with NSLBP were recruited and randomly grouped to use TCM compound and celeoxib respectively for intervention. The pain status and lumbar function use scale of patients were scored before intervention, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after intervention, and the adverse reactions of patients after medication were recorded, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients was compared finally.
This study evaluates cognitive dysfunction status and related factors in patients with chronic low back pain over the age of 60.
The goal of this quasi-experimental trial was to evaluate the effects of non-surgical spinal decompression on disability and pain in patients with chronic low back pain and sciatica throughout a two-month follow-up, and to analyze the relationship between demographic factors and clinical outcomes after a program of non-surgical spinal decompression. The main questions it aims to answer were: - Non-surgical spinal decompression is effective to reduce pain intensity and self-reported disability in patients with chronic low back pain and sciatica? - Age, level of education and work activities are related with clinical outcome in patients treated with non-surgical spinal decompression? Participants underwent eight sessions, three per week, with the BTL-6000 spinal decompression system. The study did not have a comparison group.
[Background] Low back pain occurs when a poor lifestyle weakens the muscular strength of the waist and excessive loads on and tensions of the muscles create pain. Mediating muscle weakening to stabilize the trunk is an important aspect in the recovery of body function in patients with LBP [Purpose], this study was conducted to investigate the effect of core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises on chronic non-specific low back pain. [Subjects and Methods] a sixty patient of chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned into two groups, group (A) received core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises and group (B) received core stability exercises, these exercises were performed for three times a week for four weeks. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Spinal function was measured by Arabic Oswestery Disability Index (AODI) and pulmonary function was assessed by pulmonary function test including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) before and after the study. Keywords: core stability exercises, ball and balloon exercises, chronic non-specific low back pain
Spondyloarthrosis is a degenerative disease involving the intervertebral disc, vertebral bodies, and adjacent soft tissues. Treatment aims to slow disease progression and manage symptoms through an interdisciplinary approach.It can be conservative, pharmacological and interventional, rarely chirurgic. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation program combined with Pridinol Mesylate in the treatment of Spondyloarthrosis in elderly patients in terms of pain resolution, improving disability, and quality of life versus single treatment. A randomized controlled trial was conducted in patients with spondyloarthritis. The patients recruited were divided into three groups: the Combined Group (CG), who received a rehabilitation program combined with Pridinol Mesylate; the Rehabilitation Group (RG), who received only the same rehabilitation program; and the Drug Group (DG), who received only the administration of the drug.
The purpose of this study was to understand women with low arched feet, flat feet, or BMI> 29 in the third trimester.
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affects individuals at least one during lifetime. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) lasts more than 3 months and decreases quality of life and causes work loss all over the world. Most common causes of Chronic Low back pain (CLBP) are lumbar disc herniation and/or degeneration, degenerative facet joints and sacroiliac joint pathologies, However, superior cluneal nerve (SCN) entrapment is another cause of CLBP that is ignored. It was reported that Superior cluneal nerve entrapment prevalence is % 1,6 - % 14 in CLBP patients. The Cluneal Nerves originate from the cutaneous branches of the dorsal ramus at T11-L4 and SCN innervates the skin of the upper part of the gluteal region. The nerves pass over the iliac crest through a tunnel formed by the thoracolumbar fascia and the upper edge of the iliac crest, that is the entrapment area. There are methods such as nerve blocks, neuromodulations and surgery in resistant cases. However, SCN entrapment is an overlooked diagnosis that should be considered in differential diagnosis. Recently, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the SCN was performed under fluoroscopic guidance, total of 78% of patients reported nearly full analgesia for an average of 3 months. Although ultrasound-guided imaging and blocking of SCN is well described, there was not enough study that shows the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided SCN RFA and compares it to conventional physical therapy (CPT) in the treatment of CLBP.
Patients with chronic low back (cLBP) pain report reduced physical function and ability to participate in social roles and are more likely to use opioid pain medications. While self-management interventions have been shown to support these patients, effectiveness has been limited due to poor patient engagement. "Patient activation" encompasses the skills, knowledge, and motivation that a person has to manage the person's health. Supporting patient activation may improve the effectiveness of self-management for cLBP. In this single-masked pilot study of adults with cLBP, patients were randomized to receive either no intervention (control) or 6 weekly sessions of an evidence-based web-based self-management program (SMP) with or without health behavior change counseling (HBCC) using motivational interviewing. Participants were assessed at baseline and at 12 and 26 weeks using the Patient Activation Measure, Oswestry Disability Index and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function, social role participation, and pain interference. The investigators assessed acceptability and feasibility based on recruitment, session attendance, and follow-up.
Demographic data of patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain and planned for medical treatment (n:30) and physical therapy in addition to medical treatment (n:30), as well as before and after treatment; Visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short form 36 (SF-36) quality of life scoring, Lumbar range of motion (LHA), straight leg raising test (DBK) and hand-finger ground distance (EPZM) were evaluated. Hot pack, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and ultrasound were given as physical therapy agents.
Chronic low back pain is one of the main causes of pain, dysfunction and disability worldwide. In Spain, 93% of the population has had back pain in the last year, and it is estimated that 50% of sick leave is due to this cause. This entails a great socioeconomic burden, since it is the main cause of absenteeism from work and the excessive use of therapeutic services. Musculoskeletal disorders are related and associated with psychologically stressful jobs, that is, with psychosocial factors at work and related work stressors, such as time pressure, low job control, poor social or supervisor support, effort-reward imbalance or work-life conflict. Clinical management of both situations encompasses a variety of approaches, including medication and early physical exercise, which have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function. A novel approach to address these problems is the use of Xiaxi, a patented postural hammock with multiple angles of inclination that promotes relaxation and elongation of the posterior chain, thereby improving overall well-being. Combining the use of Xiaxi with a comprehensive program of strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises could offer benefits in the prevention and reduction of back pain.
