Filter by:Physical exercise has a fundamental position in the chronic low back pain treatment. However, the physical activity level is often low in these patients and the adherence to the care program is not enough in the long term. The French Evaluation of the Perception of Physical Activity (EPPA) is a valid and reliable questionnaire, developed by N. Coste et al in 2020, that assesses the perceived barriers to and facilitators of physical activity in patients with knee osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, there is no valid and reliable instrument allowing such an assessment in chronic low back pain. The main objective of this study is to adapt the EPPA to chronic low back pain and to evaluate its psychometric properties. This validation would allow its use in current practice to adapt the care strategy, to personalize rehabilitation of each patient with chronic low back pain in order to have a better adherence to rehabilitation programs.
This randomized controlled pilot study will be evaluating an app, MORT-LBP app (ETH-02K), owned by EverEx, Inc., to examine safety and efficacy in individuals with chronic lower back pain.
Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent issue among adolescent rowers, particularly males aged 14 to 16 years, with a high lifetime prevalence (94%) and point prevalence (65%). One of the mechanisms of lower back pain in rowing athletes is about the elasticity, stiffness and tone of the hamstring muscle. Current literature shows that stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and kinesiotaping affects hamstring viscoelasticity in various ways. Stretching exercises affect hamstring muscle tone and elasticity, strengthening exercises affect muscle stiffness and kinesiotaping affects muscle tone. While the effects of each of these interventions on viscoelastic properties individually are examined in the literature, studies comparing the effects of changes in viscoelastic properties caused by these interventions on low back pain, athletic disability index and athletic performance in rowers and their superiority among each other are lacking. The goal of this study is to change the viscoelasticity of the hamstring muscles and examine its effect on low back pain, disability index and athletic performance.
Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain is characterized as a tension, soreness and stiffness. Various studies, defined MET as a manual medicine treatment procedure that involves the voluntary contraction of the subject's muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of intensity, against a distinctly executed counterforce applied by the therapist.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety of early inpatient rehabilitation after lumbar spine surgery. Participants are assigned to therapy groups C (low) - A (high) intensity and receive standardized multimodal rehabilitation for 3 weeks. Groups are compared in terms of safety, disability impairment as well as pain. Timing of rehabilitation is considered.
Chronic pain symptoms are very common among U.S. Military Veterans and have a profound negative impact on mental health symptoms and quality of life, in addition to increasing risk for suicidal ideation and suicidal behaviors. There are currently extremely few safe and effective pharmacological treatments for chronic pain disorders, and the clinical need to develop new therapeutics for pain has never been more urgent. Fueled by the worsening opioid crisis and further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, opioid and other drug overdose deaths have climbed to staggeringly high levels. The rapid development of medications for the management of chronic pain conditions that are safe, well-tolerated, efficacious and non-addicting is thus of paramount importance. The two neurosteroid candidates to be investigated in this trial are naturally occurring molecules enriched in human brain and potentially ideal candidates for safe and effective chronic pain treatment.
Low back pain (LBP) is leading cause of disability and its burden is growing worldwide with an increasing and ageing of population. Poor flexibility or tightness of hamstring muscle has been associated with low back pain. It is a prominent cause of activity limitations and work absenteeism throughout world. Hence this study was designed to find out superior form of effective technique on active knee extension and experience of pain and disability in chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Identification of the effects of low back pain and motor control influence on soccer players performance.
The aim of this study is to describe the development of the Work In Progress questionnaire, a tool designed to evaluate commitment in persons, and its psychometric validation process in the context of low back pain.
The current standard technique is radiography requiring three uni- or bilateral punctures (transverse-axial plane). The ultrasound technique is also described mainly in this plan but a new "caudal-cranial" ultrasound-guided technique was described by Chang et al in 2018 in which the major axis is used to conduct the needle to the desired area. The investigators would like to confirm that this new technique in a single puncture is also possible under ultrasound.
