Filter by:The overall purpose of the study is to investigate effect of Digitally Supported Home Exercises (DSHE) in different groups for which digitally supported interventions could be beneficial. Balance is altered in individuals with low back pain and requires intervention Thus, the investigators will focus on the effect of DSHE to improve postural balance.
Low back pain (LBP) is the leading musculoskeletal condition in burden of disease and years lived with disability. This high ranking is in large part due to the high prevalence of LBP. LBP is not only mechanically related to spinal pathophysiology (i.e., postural alterations, articular stiffness, or muscle weakness), but may also be influenced by psychosocial factors such as attitudes and beliefs. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs, which include biopsychosocial management, resulted in a better outcome. The aim of this project is to determine if the change in LBP-related knowledge and attitudes toward LBP are correlated with the change in LBP-related pain, disability, fear avoidance, and emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress after three months. The second aim is to investigate the effect of adding LBP knowledge related education sessions to standard physical therapy treatment on patients' LBP knowledge, attitudes toward LBP, LBP-related pain, disability, fear avoidance, and emotional symptoms in comparison to standard physical therapy alone.
In our daily clinical practice, one of the most frequent reasons for consultation physiotherapists is low back pain (LBP). Regardless of the origin of the problem, the approach from physiotherapy contemplates the reduction of pain through different procedures, including neuromodulation. In the field of Physiotherapy, ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation (PNM) is defined as the application through a needle with ultrasound guidance of an electrical current at low or medium frequency, seeking a sensitive and / or motor response of a peripheral nerve in some point of its trajectory, or of a muscle in a motor point, with a therapeutic objective. The objective of this study is to analyze that the effect of PNM on the sciatic nerve produces statistically significant changes in pain, joint range and functionality in patients with chronic LBP. Thirty subjects will be recruited, which will be divided into 3 groups: group 1 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve in the gluteus region; group 2 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve in the middle of the thigh; and group 3 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve before popliteus region. The PNM intervention with NMP will consist in the single application of an asymmetric rectangular biphasic current (250 microseconds, 3 Hz) during 90 seconds
This study will look at the short-term effect of morphine on brain response to food.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a spinal disorder that affects mainly people over the age of 60. LSS is the most common reason to perform spinal surgery for people aged >65 years and have been shown to be superior to conservative treatment. Hitherto, studies on lumbar spinal stenosis are sparse with only 3 trials including approximately 300 patients. There is also a paucity in studies investigating if people with lumbar spinal stenosis improve their outcome following surgery undergoing a pre-surgery rehabilitation programme including physical fitness exercises, abdominal and back muscle strengthening and a core control approach.
Bilateral sacroiliac joint injection in symptomatic lumbar disc prolapse under ultrasound guidance and studying the effect of this technique on pain, spine mobility and activity of daily living.
Chronic pain is prevalent in the U.S., with impact on physical and psychological functioning as well as lost work productivity. Minority and lower socioeconomic populations have increased prevalence of chronic pain with less access to pain care and poorer outcomes. Acupuncture therapy is effective in treating chronic pain conditions including chronic low back pain (cLBP), neck pain, shoulder pain and knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Acupuncture therapy, including group acupuncture, is feasible and effective, and specifically so for underserved and diverse populations at risk for health outcome disparities. Acupuncture therapy also encourages patient engagement and activation. As chronic pain improves there is a natural progression to want and need to increase activity and movement recovery. Diverse movement approaches are important both for improving range of motion, maintaining gains, strengthening and promoting patient engagement and activation. Yoga therapy is an active therapy with proven benefit in musculoskeletal pain disorders and pain associated disability. The aim of this pilot feasibility trial is to test the bundling of these two care options for chronic pain, to inform both the design for a larger randomized pragmatic effectiveness trial as well as implementation strategies across underserved settings.
The main objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the lumbar nerve root stimulation with ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis versus the electrical dry needling of trigger points in patients with chronic low back pain.
In this study the feasibility is investigated of a 16-week supervised heavy resistance training program with weekly undulating periodization for individuals with persistent non-specific low-back pain.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of providing an e-Health rehabilitation program through a web platform performing electroanalgesia and an exercise program following the McKenzie Method for patients with chronic low back pain in primary care, compared with the same home rehabilitation program but without the support of an electronic program.
