Filter by:Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for applying to health institutions. Low back pain seriously affects the lives of patients and causes great financial losses. Surgical treatments have an important place in the treatment of pain due to lumbar spine pathologies. Although success in lumbar spine surgery depends on many factors, it has been reported that one of the most important of these factors is patient expectations. In order for patients and doctors to have the same priorities and meet the same realistic goals, it is necessary to understand what patients expect. Many studies have attempted to measure patients' expectations for lumbar spine treatment; however, most of them are unapproved, valid and unreliable scales. Lumbar spine surgery expectations scale was created by Mancuso et al. in 2013 to learn the expectations of patients in lumbar spine surgery. It has been found that the scale has high validity and reliability values and it has been observed that it is frequently used in clinics and researches. In our country, there is no valid and reliable scale that questions the expectations of patients from lumbar surgery. As a result of this study, it is planned to introduce a valid and reliable scale adapted into Turkish, which can question the expectations of patients from a lumbar surgery.
This research is studying whether changing an individual's behaviors may have an impact as a treatment or outcome for chronic low back pain. This research will try to understand how much an electronic, self-management website like PainGuide can help participants. The study hypothesizes that tailored digital interventions (plus using PainGuide) will demonstrate greater improvement in pain interference.
A randomized controlled trial for patients with chronic low back pain with two treatment arms and one waiting list control group. Primary outcome is pain intensity on VAS.
. 24 individuals were evaluated, with low back pain for more than 12 weeks and aged between 12 and 65 years. The current used in the lumbar region of the participants was of the tetrapolar interferential type and the stimulation mode was the automatic vector, carrier of 4,000 HZ, modulation frequency (AMF) of 50 HZ, sweep frequency of SWEEP of 20HZ. The assessment of pain and functionality was performed using the data collection instrument, the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS), Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and the Owestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ) respectively. The present study demonstrates that treatment with interferential current promotes chemical improvement in participants, which opens up new perspectives on the use of this therapeutic approach.
Low Back Pain is a common heath condition with high rates of recurrence and huge associated costs. Research has focused its efforts on analysing the effects of interventions while knowledge about effective secondary prevention strategies is limited. MyBack study aims to analyse the effectiveness of a tailored exercise and behavioural change program (MyBack program) in the secondary prevention of low back pain, and evaluate acceptability, feasibility and determinants of implementation by the different stakeholders, as well as the implementation strategy of the MyBack program, through a hybrid type I, randomized, controlled and multicentre study of effectiveness and implementation in the context of primary health care.
Low back pain (LBP) is the most frequent complaint encountered in clinical practice. Exercises and manual therapy prescription are common physical therapy treatments prescribed for the patients presenting with chronic low back pain. The interventions will establish the future direction for practitioners in choosing the manual therapy or repeated exercises as effective prescription and provide a basis for future research
Low back pain is caused by strain of the ligaments or muscles around the vertebral column or a musculoskeletal system formed due to compression of the nerves coming out of the spinal cord is a system nuisance.The process that begins as acute pain become chronic with prolongation of life, limit physical function and negatively affecting the quality of work, loss of workforce and health care It is an important health problem that causes an increase in expenditures. Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in the study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and control. Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise program in the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group. Pain intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception (digital inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability index), and quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.This study aims to investigate the effect of the Graston technique added to exercise on pain, proprioception, disability, flexibility, and quality of life in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
Proposing ways to effectively counter chronic low back pain through non-drug intervention is a major public health issue due to the prevalence and health costs of this condition. The back school (BS) is based on spinal economics and a biomechanical model. A convergence of evidence indicates that this type of program does not bring any mid- or long-term benefit. Faced with this observation, a Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) has been developed based on a biopsychosocial model. Chronic low back pain is the consequence of a complex dynamic of multifactorial origin where the body lesion is no longer the only cause of the pain. Studies have shown that PNE has a positive effect on pain perception. One of the limitations of these studies is that they do not allow objective measurement of physical activity performed at a distance from a therapeutic program for patients who have benefited from these educational programs. Yet, physical activity is an essential variable in health and more specifically in the fight against pain in patients with chronic low back pain. The investigators believe that physical activity is a key factor in improving the condition of patients with chronic low back pain. Consequently, physical activity is an indicator of success but also a guarantee for a lasting effect of educational treatment. In order to measure this physical activity, the use of activity monitor (connected watch) developed in recent years now makes it possible to collect data in an ecological manner that is more objective than the data collected via self-questionnaires. The main objective of the study is to measure the effectiveness of a PNE on physical activity three months after the intervention compared to BS in patients with chronic low back pain receiving a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. The secondary aims are to compare effectiveness of PNE versus BS on pain, quality of life, kinesiophobia, pain catastrophizing, central sensitization at 3 months and at one year after the intervention. In addition, an exploratory analysis will be conducted to determine predictors of physical activity maintenance. The investigators expect to observe greater physical activity in patients who have received a PNE program compared to the physical activity of patients who have completed an BS program.
The main objective of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy of a 6-week therapeutic exercise program, performed with virtual reality (VR) manipulating visual proprioceptive information during all lumbar movements in the different therapeutic exercises (experimental group), on pain and disability, kinesiophobia, range of motion (ROM), catastrophizing, quality of life, and physical fitness in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain compared to the same therapeutic exercise program without VR (control group).
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of adding transversus abdominis contraction to general exercises to treat patients with nonspecific acute low back pain. BACKGROUND: Non-specific low back pain affects people of all ages and is a leading contributor to disease burden worldwide. Management consists of education and reassurance, analgesic medicines, non-pharmacological therapies, and timely review. The clinical course of low back pain is often favourable; thus, many patients require little if any formal medical care. Two treatment strategies are currently used, a stepped approach beginning with more simple care that is progressed if the patient does not respond, and the use of simple risk prediction methods to individualise the amount and type of care provided. Motor control exercises, which advocate the contraction of the TrA have shown some efficacy for patients with chronic low back pain. However, the validity of this strategy for patients with acute LBP is unclear. HYPOTHESES: there will be no significant effect of adding transversus abdominis contraction to general exercise than general exercise alone in patients with non-specific acute low back pain. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a statistically significant effect of adding transversus abdominis contraction to general exercise on outcomes of patients with non-specific acute low back pain?
