Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effect of mulligan's two leg rotation and bent leg raise for hamstring tightness, core muscle weakness in chronic low back pain, lumbar Range of motion. A randomized control trial is being conducted at Women Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences Abbottabad. It consisted of 68 participants with moderate chronic low back pain 4-6 on VAS scale, weak back extensors, and abdominal muscle weakness .and hamstring tightness. 34 patients in Group A is receiving moist heat for the hamstrings muscles prior the Mulligan Two leg rotation technique for 10mins .core muscle strenthening exercises for back extensors and abdominals. 34 patients in Group B is receiving moist heat for the hamstrings muscles prior the Mulligan Bent leg raise technique for 10 minutes.Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique being applied is purposive.Study includes patients with mechanical LBP more than 3 months.Tools being used in the study are Goniometer, Measuring tape, Pressure Biofeedback Unit, Visual analogue scale (VAS), Mulligan's belt. Data is being analyzed through SPSS 21.
The aim of this research is to find and compare the effect of Bowen's technique and Muscle energy technique on intensity of pain, active knee extension, limited forward bending and active straight leg raise on hamstrings tightness in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. A randomized control trial is conducting at Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi and Al-Ain Hospital, Wah Cantt. The sample size is calculated through open epi is 24. The subjects are divided in two groups, 12 subjects in Bowen's technique group and 12 in Muscle energy technique group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique applied is non-probability convenient sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 18-35 years individuals of hamstrings tightness with chronic non-specific low back pain are included. Tools used in the study are Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Active knee extension, Sit and reach test, Active straight leg raise and Goniometer. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 21.
The purpose of this research study is to see if breathing and attention training (BAT) treatments improve pain symptoms and well-being in people who have chronic low back pain (cLBP). For this breathing intervention, you will be randomly assigned to either standard or focused BAT. The standard BAT includes instructions on deep breathing and relaxation. The focused BAT is similar to the standard BAT in most ways but includes extra instructions to help you focus and alter your breathing patterns.
In this study, the effects of the symptoms related to the diseases of patients with fibromyalgia during the COVID-19 pandemic, their limitations in their social and business life, the need for different drugs, stress levels and the effect of the pandemic on the disease activity will be evaluated.
A randomized control trial is planned to investigate the effectiveness of Cat-Cow yoga as a treatment for chronic low back pain CLBP. An 12 weeks course of intervention will be provided to the candidates that will meet the eligibility criteria of the study. Substance P, beta endorphins and cortisol will be tested both the groups' pre and post treatment and then the difference from the baseline value will be determined.
This Randomized Controlled trial is designed to observe the effect of Sphinx Yoga (Salamba Bhujangasana) on low back pain and variation in the associated physiological parameters that help explain the beneficial effects of yoga, among healthcare providers of Karachi Pakistan. Healthcare providers with LBP (determined as per the baseline assessment) will be recruited and Substance P and Beta Endorphins will be assessed at baseline and after 3 months. The subjects with LBP will be determined based on the scores of the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, Numerical Pain Rating (NPR) scale, Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ) work subscale. Subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be randomly allotted to intervention and control groups. The study outcomes will be monitored in subjects of both groups at baseline and after 3-month follow-up (post-interventional).
In this prospective study, eligible subjects with chronic non specific low back pain and asymptomatic volunteers will undergo a research dynamic ultrasound exam of the lower back before and after a massage technique. The overall aim of the present research is to develop ultrasonographic parameters that characterize the geometrical, the mechanical and tissue characteristic properties of the thoracolumbar fascia, and to explore the effect of a massage therapy technique on these parameters.
It is clear that low back pain (LBP) is a major challenge in our society, which can lead to severe disability in many individuals. Although there are several different treatments and approaches to help individuals with LBP, the number affected by this condition has been steadily increasing. OMT has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of LBP. In fact, the use of OMT has been shown to increase mobility of the lumbar myofascial tissues, visceral motion and decrease pain in patients with LBP. Bio Electro-Magnetic Regulation (BEMER) Therapy is a therapeutic modality that deploys a biorhythmically defined stimulus through a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), which leads to an increase in blood flow. The positive effects of BEMER on the circulation has been shown to result in significant increases in arteriovenous oxygen difference, number of open capillaries, arteriolar and venular flow volume, and flow rate of red blood cells in the microvasculature. Therefore, BEMER can potentially be used in the treatment of LBP by improving microcirculation in muscular tissue. In fact, BEMER with physiotherapy showed reductions in pain and fatigue acutely in patients with chronic low back pain. A systemic review of randomized controlled trials that investigated whether PEMF was effective in low back pain showed there was decrease in pain intensity and improved functionality in individuals with different low back pain conditions. Therefore, it is plausible that the combination of OMT and BEMER therapy may help increase circulation to myofascial structures that influence low back restriction and pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the individual and combined effects of OMT and BEMER therapy on low back pain.
The study design was randomized control trial and sampling technique was lottery method. After inclusion and exclusion criteria, sample populations were divided into experimental (group A) and control group (group B). Spinal decompression therapy in combination with core stability exercises were given to experimental group as intervention while spinal decompression therapy given alone to the control group. Assessment was taken on after 1st session, 4th session and 8th session of physical therapy intervention. Data were entered and analyzed by SPSS version 21.
In a cross-over, open-label, randomized, controlled trial, the investigators aim to determine if the daily activity level in patients with LBP can be increased via feedback from an app, connected to a wearable sensor of physical activity.
