Filter by:The main objective of the study was to assess the impact of deep tissue massage on subjective and objective parameters in a group of office workers with chronic low back pain. Specific objectives: - Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the level of pain - Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the level of disability - Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the mobility of the lumbar spine - Assessment of the effect of deep tissue massage on the discomfort threshold of tissue compression in the area of the erector spinae muscle - Assessment of the impact of deep tissue massage on the biophysical parameters of the soft tissues of the erector spinae muscle - Evaluation of the impact of deep tissue massage on the bioelectric potentials of the erector spinae muscle during everyday activities and the flexion-relaxation test Hypotheses: - Deep tissue massage will reduce the level of pain in the lumbar spine - Deep tissue massage will reduce the level of disability - Deep tissue massage will increase the range of motion of the lumbar spine in all directions - Deep tissue massage will reduce the threshold of discomfort when compressing the soft tissues of the erector spinae muscle - Deep tissue massage will reduce muscle tone and stiffness and increase the elasticity of the back extensor muscle - Deep tissue massage will increase the bioelectrical potentials of the erector spinae muscle while performing tests of activities of daily living - Deep tissue massage will reduce the value of the flexion-relaxation test

Although pregnancy is a natural process, it is a period in which some bio-physiological changes are experienced. These changes cause low back pain by affecting the musculoskeletal system as well as the endocrine, cardiovascular and renal systems. Pregnancy-related low back pain is defined as recurrent pain in the lumbopelvic region lasting more than one week. It can manifest itself in pregnancy as low back pain, lumbar pain, pelvic pain and lumbopelvic pain where both are present. In order to cope with low back pain in pregnancy and to increase the quality of life, low back pain should be evaluated in antenatal and postnatal follow-ups. Risk factors should be examined, women in the risk group should be identified, their low back pain experience should be questioned, prevention and coping strategies and the effect of low back pain on their quality of life should be evaluated. Healthy lifestyle programs should be developed to help prevent low back pain and develop coping strategies for pregnant women with low back pain.
The goal of this trial is to compare the effects 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRM) with Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) versus only PNF in chronic low back pain patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of pain. 2. Is there any difference in interventions on reduction of disability. Participants will in the experimental group will be treated with a combination of: 1. 448kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency and, 2. PNF intervention Participants will in the control group will be treated only using 1. PNF intervention (identical to experimental group) Researchers will compare experimental and control group to see if there are differences in reduction of pain and disability.
Low back pain is currently considered to be the most common cause of disability.When low back pain occurs sensitivity of body increases which decreases overall body activity.Physical inactivity negatively effects recovery from chronic low back pain.Patients with chronic low back pain experience psychological anxiety and depression which leads to fear of pain and movement.There are various treatment options for chronic low back pain.But most treatment options deal with biomedical aspect of disease.Pain neuroscience education deals with psychological aspect of disease.By combining both treatment options we will be able to evaluate the combined biopsychosocial aspect of treatment.This study will mainly focus on the education of patients regarding neuroscience be hind their chronic low back pain.
This study will compare the effect of dry needling and manual pressure in patients having low back pain in terms of pain and disability. There will be two groups ; experimental and control. Half of study group will receive dry needling session along with hot pack. Half of study group will receive manual pressure technique along with hot pack.
Chronic low back pain is defined as back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the efficacy of combining a program of manual techniques with the application of Capacitive and Resistive Electric Transfer (TECAR) therapy to treat chronic low back pain. Sixty adults with chronic low back pain will be randomly divided into three groups of 20 each. In the participants of the first group, a therapeutic protocol of manual soft tissue mobilization in the lumbar region will be applied. To the participants of the second group, the same protocol of manual techniques will be applied in combination with TECAR therapy, which will be applied through a conventional capacitive electrode as well as an antistatic electrode bracelet (making the hand of the physical therapist an antistatic electrode). The third group participants will receive no treatment. Both programs will include six treatments over two weeks. Pain in the last 24 hours with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), functional ability with the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) in the lumbar region with an algometer, and lumbar flexion range of motion through fingertip-to-floor distance (FFD) test will be evaluated before and after the intervention with a follow-up one month later. For the statistical analysis of the results, a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements will be applied, while the statistical significance index will be set at p < .05.
The patients will be clinically examined, as well as evaluated with Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI) at baseline and at follow-ups.
Review outcome of injection of facet joint in chronic low back pain
We aim to compare the effectiveness of MFR and exercise therapy on mobility and function by investigating the effectiveness of the Myofascial Release Technique (MFR), which we will apply to the muscles we choose related to the facial system connection in participants with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and low back pain.
