Filter by:The primary objective is to use machine learning methods on large survey and health register data to identify participants with different treatment trajectories and health outcomes after surgical and/or conservative treatment for spinal disorders. Secondary objectives are to 1) conduct external validation of the prediction models, and 2) explore how the prediction models can be implemented into AI-based clinical co-decision tools and interventions.
Low back pain is a common health problem worldwide. Epidemiological studies have shown that 70-80% of all people are affected at least once in their lifetime. Although it is common, often the cause of the pain has not been determined and is called 'nonspecific low back pain. Chronic low back pain ranks second among the most common pain complaints under the age of 45 in the industrial age of limited activity. Organic pathology is not encountered in most musculoskeletal system pains. There are usually many underlying causes. The current literature offers a variety of treatment options, depending on the duration and severity of the symptoms of non-specific low back pain. These treatments include behavioral cognitive therapy, medication, electrophysical agents, manual therapy, and general exercises. Looking at the literature, it has been observed that there are not many objective studies investigating the effect of elastic bandage application on muscle elasticity. 'Shear Wave Elastography' is a method that quantitatively reveals the elasticity of tissues by measuring the speed of shear waves formed in the tissues through non-invasive high-frequency ultrasound waves. In recent studies, Shear Wave Elastography has shown promising results in demonstrating the elasticity of peripheral nerves.
This is a NIAMS-sponsored clinical trial being conducted through the NIH Helping to End Addition Long-term (HEAL) Initiative's Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program. This is a single-arm controlled trial with individuals aged 18-70 with low back pain (LBP). This study investigates the effect(s) of augmenting physical therapy (PT) interventions with the use of an experimental wearable soft robotic device ('exosuit').
This study aimed to examine and compare the effects of exercises applied with a stretching platform in addition to conservative treatment and conservative treatment only on pain, proprioception, balance, and mobility in patients with chronic low back pain. 55 people with chronic low back pain were included in the study and randomly divided into 2 groups. The participants in group 1 were included in the conservative treatment program, while the participants in group 2 were included in the exercise program applied with a stretching platform in addition to the conservative treatment. Pain intensity with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), proprioception sense with the active re-creation of passive positioning method without extremity support, mobility with Modified Schober Test (MST), Hand Finger-Ground Distance Measurement and Trunk Lateral Bending Measurement, balance level with Functional Reach Test, functionality with Oswestry Disability Index and quality of life was assessed with the EuroQol Group 5D-3L Questionnaire. In the study, statistically significant differences were observed between the results of pain, proprioception, MST, HFGDM and TLBM, FRT, ODI and EuroQol Group 5D-3L in intragroup evaluations (p<0,05). In intergroup analysis, the VAS score during activity and 15° right ankle plantar flexion in proprioception evaluation were superior in the Group 2 compared to the group 1 (p<0.05). It was observed that CT and exercises applied with a stretching platform in the treatment of chronic low back pain had positive effects on pain, proprioception, mobility, balance, functionality, and quality of life.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of non-weightbearing stationary ellipticals (Cubii, Fitness Cubed, Inc.) on patient well-being with chronic lower back pain (CLBP). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Assess the effect of non-weightbearing stationary ellipticals on clinical outcomes inclduing vital signs, pain, disability, analgesic use, mental health, abdominal muscle strength, and compliance in patients with CLBP. 2. Assess the effect of placing the patients into an interactive virtual environment during the exercise sessions on the outcomes of the program Participants will participate in 60 minute training sessions to see if there are effects to their CLBP.
Postural control methods are impaired in people with chronic low back pain. While the person maintains balance with pain relief, fear of movement and pain increase with loss of balance. It was found that externally focused exercises are more effective than internal focus exercises in terms of motor control and motor learning. To investigate the place of externally focused balance exercises in conservative treatment of target low back pain. For this purpose, approval was obtained from the clinical research ethics committee of Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, Faculty of Medicine, with the decision numbered 2022-18/163.
This will be a placebo controlled, randomized, double-blind, comparative effectiveness study, in which we patients are enrolled during an emergency department (ED) visit for acute radicular low back pain (LBP) and followed by telephone two and seven days later. Patients will be randomized to receive an oral dose of dexamethasone for 2 consecutive days or placebo during an ED visit for acute radicular LBP. Every patient will receive a 7 day supply of ibuprofen and a low back pain education session.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about respiratory muscle strength, respiratory functions, and balance in patients with chronic low back pain.
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, the prevalence of low back pain can be as high as 43%. Past research has shown the positive effects of Kinesio taping in patients with chronic and nonspecific low back pain in pain reduction, improvement in postural stability, and improvement in function. However, no study has yet evaluated the effects of KT in persons with discogenic LBP. If found to be effective KT can be prescribed as a conservative & cost-effective treatment for patients with discogenic low back pain.
This study is a Randomized Control Trial in which participants aged 18-50 years having diagnosed chronic mechanical low back pain will be recruited into two groups. Group A will be receiving myofascial release using stripping technique whereas, Group B will be receiving Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization using long bar tool. Afterwards, post-treatment stretching would be performed in both the groups. Final assessment of pain, range of motion and disability will be done on last treatment session.
