Filter by:This study compared the effects of mechanical and manual traction on pain, disability and lumbar spinal curvature in patients with discogenic low back pain
The aim of this study is to investigate the instant effects of direct vertabral manipulation and indirect vertebral manipulation techniques on muscles mechanical properties, pressure-pain threshold and joint range of motion in individuals with chronic low back pain. Another purpose of this study was to compare the effects of both treatment methods on the parameters studied.
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of the respiratory therapy method based on short-term intermittent exposures to hypoxia and hyperoxia (ReOxy therapy) on the pain intensity, restoration of the lumbar range of motion, physical capacity, disability, mental and vegetative status in Chronic Low Back Pain patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions.
Low back pain is one the leading cause of disability and affecting many individuals. Chronic low back pain is associated with restriction in daily physical activities that ultimately leads to disuse atrophy of muscles. The objective of the study is to find out the effects of Back Muscles Endurance Training on pain, disability, endurance and Lumbar flexibility in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.
Objective: This study will be conducted to investigate the relationship between the amplitude of posterior oblique sling muscles; ipsilateral gluteus maximus (GM) and contralateral latissmus Dorsi (LD), and the amount of anterior translation of humeral head (ATHH) of the contralateral glenohumeral joint (GHJ) in subjects with unilateral chronic low back pain (CLBP) during ipsilateral prone knee extension (PHE) test. Methods: The study will be conducted on thirty subjects (15 patients with CLBP and 15 healthy subjects). Ipsilateral GM and contralateral LD amplitude will be recorded by surface EMG during PHE of the limb at the painful side and correlated to ATHH of contralateral GHJ as measured by ultrasonography. Hypothesis: There won't be a significant relationship between the amplitude of posterior oblique sling muscles (GM and contralateral LD) during PHE for the ipsilateral leg and the amount of ATHH of the contralateral GHJ in patients with unilateral CLBP.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a clinical entity that can be defined as back pain with duration of more than 12 weeks. Chronic low back pain is associated with restriction in daily physical activities that ultimately leads to disuse atrophy of muscles. Moreover, weak and atrophied muscles around the lumbar spine cause immense immobility and recurring low back pain in these patients. The objective of this study will be to determine the effect of retro walking on pain, physical function and flexibility in chronic non-specific low back pain. This study will be a randomized controlled trial and will be conducted in physiotherapy department in DHQ hospital Nankana Sahib. The study will be completed in time duration of six months after the approval of synopsis and consecutive sampling technique will be used. 40 subjects will be divided in two groups. Group A will follow retro walking and conventional treatment while group B will follow only conventional treatment. Data will be collected by all participants before 1st session after 6th session and at the end of 12th session by using NPRS, MODI, sit and reach test and Modified schobber's test. Data will be analyzed by SPSS-25.
INTRODUCTION: Chronic low back pain (CLBD) is one of the major public health problems in the world. Given the complexity of the situation, complementary and alternative practices such as pain neuroscience education (PNE), clinical hypnosis (HC) and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) are options for we manage these patients. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effects of OMT associated with PNE through HC on pain and disability in patients with CLBP compared to PNE and HC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study design will be a randomized clinical trial and 40 adults diagnosed with chronic low back pain will be recruited. Subjects will be randomized in two groups: the first group (G1) will be submitted to the PNE based on information from the book "Explain Pain" with hypnotic suggestions. Group 2 (G2) will receive PNE following the book "Explain Pain" with hypnotic suggestions associated with OMT. Volunteers will be evaluated by a blind researcher the interventions performed in the allocation of groups. The evaluation moments will be pre-intervention and immediately after the end of the last intervention for G1 and G2. Volunteers continued to be evaluated 4 weeks after completion of the protocols. Pain will be evaluated as the main outcome, being evaluated by the numerical pain scale. Pain will also be assessed by the pressure threshold using a pressure algometer device (Fnd-50, PIAB 50-n, Italy) in the lumbar region. Still as the main outcome, disability will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. As secondary outcomes, the patient's global impression of improvement, central sensitization, biopsychosocial factors will be evaluated. The patient's global impression of improvement will be assessed using the Percentage of Improvement Scale with a score of -5 to +5; the Central Sensitization will be assessed using the Central Sensitization Questionnaire and the biopsychosocial factors using the Start Beck Toll questionnaire. In addition, the behavior of the autonomic nervous system will be evaluated through the Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which will be analyzed through linear methods, in the domains of time and frequency, and by geometric indices. The researcher/evaluator will be blinded to the allocation of intervention groups. Given the nature of the study, it is impossible to blind the researcher/therapist and volunteers.
Guidelines advocate several complementary modalities as alternatives to drugs and other invasive treatments for chronic low back pain (LBP) conditions. However, there is little high-quality research investigating treatments for back-related leg pain, one of the more severe and disabling presentations of LBP. The investigators are conducting a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a future phase II multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT). The future trial will assess the comparative effectiveness of a novel supported biopsychosocial self-management (SBSM) intervention versus Medical Care (MC).
Mechanical low back pain is an impairment of musculoskeletal system. Lifetime prevalence of low back pain is 60-85%. Frequent micro-trauma to the structures of the spine, poor control and stabilization leads to LBP and eventually causes functional limitation. The objective of the study to find whether Core Stabilization Training with Pressure Biofeedback could reduce pain and improves functional activity in patients with mechanical low back pain. To study the effectiveness of Core Stabilization Training with Pressure Biofeedback in reducing pain and improving functional activity in subjects with mechanical low backpain between the age group of 25-40 years. To find out the effect of core stabilization training with pressure biofeedback in reducing pain and improving functional activity in subjects with mechanical low back pain between the age group of 25-40 years. The study will be conducted on 30 subjects between the age group of 25-40 years with mechanical low back pain and according to the inclusion criteria were recruited in the study. NPRS at rest and activity, Modified ODI will assess PRE and POST treatment. P value: less than 0.05 using SPSS (Statistical package for social sciences) for NPRS(pain at rest and activity) and modified ODI i.e. core stabilization training with pressure biofeedback had statistical improvement in NPRS (Pain at rest and activity) and modified ODI score. Core stabilization training with pressure biofeedback is effective inreducing pain (at rest and activity) and functional disability in subjects between the age group of 25-40 years with mechanical low back pain
The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) for the treatment of patients with acute low back pain. In this study a total of 56 patients with acute low back pain were randomly allocated to the experimental group, KT along with conventional Physical therapy (PT), or the control group, conventional PT alone.
