Filter by:Carry out a randomized controlled double-blind study, the acupuncture combined with placebo application group was compared with the acupuncture combined with Yanqing Zhitong ointment acupoint application group, 86 patients with chronic non-specific low back pain were included.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to provide an efficient and non-invasive treatment option for pain caused by the piriformis muscle.
The specific objective of this study is to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of a new individualised spinal rehabilitation programme involving copaiba essential oil (CEO) therapy compared to usual care for people with chronic low back pain. Research in complementary and alternative medicine has increased over the last 15 years. As biochemical research shows, these substances carry the ability to relieve pain and to reduce inflammation. In doing so, it aims to: 1. Improve the health outcomes for individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) by positively impacting their pain, disability, work capacity, physical activity and mental health, and 2. Reduce the chronic health burden on society associated with treatment, sick leave, rehabilitation, and involuntary retirement, by reducing health-related costs. The primary clinical hypothesis is that patients with CLBP receiving individualised spinal care and additional CEO topical treatment will have superior short- and long-term outcome (defined by condition specific quality of life and general well-being) compared to usual care.
Chronic Nonspecific Low back Pain (NLBP) is a common symptom in today's society. It causes serious health and economic burdens. Low back pain can be attributed to excessive physical exertion or trauma, resulting in damage or degradation of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, or spinal muscles and nonspecific low back pain typically can account for 90% of the patients with 35 to 55 years old. Some guidelines endorse the cautious use of medication and surgery and take nonpharmacological and noninvasive treatments as a first-line treatment, including routine health education, exercise, psychotherapy, and physical therapies, owing to the risk of trauma and the cost. With a long history, Tuina is a one of the common nonsurgical methods to treat LBP in China.. The effect of Tuina is attributed to relaxing muscles and tendons, improving circulation, regulating spinal balance, decreasing edema and aseptic inflammation. Many clinical reports have confirmed its effectiveness, but more clinical trials are required to provide evidence of Tuina for low back pain. Therefore, this study was designed to compare the effectiveness of Tuina with Flurbiprofen Cataplasms for patients with low back pain on the basis treatment of health education and self-management exercise at home.
Identifying high-risk factors that may lead to shoulder, neck and lower back discomfort and contributing to the primary prevention of disease progression.
Explore the many factors that affect the compliance of home exercise therapy in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain, establish a theoretical model of the factors affecting compliance behavior, in order to guide rehabilitation clinical practice, and improve the compliance of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain to home exercise prescriptions.
Low back pain is a common health problem where over than half a billion people worldwide suffers from it. In Malaysia, back pain is among the top ten reasons why people see a doctor. Although there are many guidelines available, healthcare professionals still find managing low back pain as challenging. The Decision Support System for Low Back Pain (DeSSBack) has been developed by adopting and re-packaging STaRT system, incorporate with the local clinical practice guidelines and feedback from local experts. It aims to aid healthcare professionals in managing low back pain through a stratified approach. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DeSSBack in improving the management of patients with low back pain in a primary care clinic. We hypothesise that the implementation of DeSSBack will improve the outcomes of low back pain patients including quality of life, emotional state and level of pain. This study protocol presents the rationale and design of a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Modic changes have been associated with low back pain in many clinical studies and are often considered a part of the disc degeneration process. Modic type 1 change is considered an inflammatory process. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections in Modic type-1 changes.
The goal of this study is to improve pain management and reduce opioid reliance for patients with chronic back pain in Utah Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). The study compares the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic pain treatments using telehealth to overcome access barriers. We will use automated EHR reminders for electronic referral to teleconsult services. Our project tests adaptive treatments and uses a hybrid type I design - focused on effectiveness outcomes while gathering implementation data to inform future efforts to scale effective strategies.
Almost everyone will have low back pain (LBP) at some point in their lives. LBP is a complex multifactorial condition for which diagnosis and clinical management remains a challenge. Factors such as wait times, delays in diagnosis or proper referral can result in Canadian patients having difficulty getting the care that they need. The overall objective of this project is to explore how chiropractors, who specialize in the diagnosis and clinical management of spinal conditions, can transform healthcare trajectories and improve the health of patients with LBP by integrating medical specialist team.To do so, patients with low back pain seeking medical care within the public health system will be first seen by chiropractors. Chiropractors will play a key role in identifying the type of low back pain and subsequently offering guidance to medical specialists with regard to the best treatment and management options that are currently recommended. Participating patients will be followed over a year while extensive health-related data will be collected and compared to non-triage patients with LBP.
