Filter by:The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial to explore if there is a change in intervertebral movement following a course of manual therapy in patients with acute non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). Research Questions: 1. In patients with acute NSLBP, does lumbar intervertebral movement change following a course of manual therapy? 2. In patients with acute NSLBP, do those who respond to manual therapy (established by patient reported outcomes measures) have different intervertebral movement to those who do not?
Low back pain is one of the most common problem affecting one's daily living activities. McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnostic Therapy (MDT) is an appealing modality of treatment. McKenzie classified the lumbar back pain into three categories i.e. lumbar postural syndrome, lumbar dysfunction syndrome and lumbar derangement syndrome. Progressive extension bias limb loading exercises at lumbar region emphasizes on lumbar extensor musculature. The purpose of the current study is to determine the effects of extension biased lumbar limb loading exercises along with McKenzie extension protocols in the management of patients with lumbar derangement syndrome, which will also be a cost effective management option. It will also add to the existing pool of knowledge in the fields of conservative low back pain treatment, physical therapy, orthopedic manual therapy and musculoskeletal medicine.
Background Low back pain (LBP) is the largest cause of years lived with disability worldwide and often associated with low quality of life, inability to work and low physical activity levels. In Danish general practice, LBP accounts for nearly 10% of all yearly consultations, making it the number one reason for consulting a general practitioner in Denmark. An increase in care-seeking children and adolescents with LBP in general practice is seen in the pre-teen-age-years. At present, no study has investigated on the natural prognosis of LBP among care-seeking adolescents in general practice. Furthermore, the potential impact of patient and parent-related factors on prognosis remains unknown. The aims of the study are to 1) investigate the natural prognosis of LBP and 2) identify patient and parent-related factors which my influence prognosis. Methods Adolescents aged 8 to 19 years consulting their general practitioner due to LBP will be invited to participate in this prospective cohort study. One parent of each patient will be invited to be a part of the parallel cohort. Online questionnaires will be used to collect data on patient characterises, pain intensity, pain frequency, medication, health-related quality of life, physical activity and illness perception at baseline and at the one-year follow-up. Data on pain intensity and parent-related worries will be collected through biweekly text messages. LBP will be assessed by latent class analysis. Discussion This study will be the first to uncover the natural prognosis of LBP within a young, care-seeking population in general practice and to investigate if factors related to the patient or parents influence prognosis.
The study is aimed to evaluate the pain-relieving effect of BOL-DP-o-04, in addition to SOC, on Low Back Pain and Sciatica.
The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the difference in the reduction of pain at 1 month after intradiscal infiltration of corticosteroids depending on symmetrical or asymmetrical active discopathies with MRI examination. The difference should be judged significant if it ⩾ 2 points.
EaseVRx, a software-based virtual reality (VR) medical device, is intended to offer users a prescription pain management tool that manages the symptoms associated with chronic pain and reduces or eliminates the risk of opioid dependence. The investigators will conduct a proof-of-concept randomized study to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using EaseVRx as a 56-day, VR-based, at-home program among 100 chronic low back pain patients by gathering pilot data on the efficacy of the intervention in decreasing pain, reducing opioid/non-opioid pharmacotherapy, and improving pain-related quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of pilates exercise by training the muscles responsible for core stabilization in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLPB); considering pain, functional level, depression, quality of life, and muscle thickness measured by Ultrasound Imaging and to compare it with home based exercise. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective, randomized-single blinded study included 60 female patients with CNLBP aged 18-60 years. Patients were randomized into 2 groups. The first group (n=30) performed pilates 3 days/week for 8 weeks. Sessions lasted about one hour and supervised by a pilates trainer. The second group (n=30) was given home exercise program 3 times/week for 8 weeks, each session lasting one hour. The evaluations were made both at the beginning and end of the treatment. Evaluation parameters included VAS (visual analogue scale), Oswestry Disability Index, Qubec Disability Scale, Short Form-36 (SF-36), Beck Depression Questionnaire, sit and reach test, Modified Schöber test, sit up test. Multifidus and abdominal muscle thickness were measured by Ultrasonographic Imaging.
The nutritional intervention will reduce LBP and cause 10% weight loss.
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of a one-day-and-a-half no intensive multidisciplinary education and exercise therapy program in the subgroup of patients with subacute or chronic LBP for whom first-line treatments had failed but for whom an intensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation program was not indicated.
This study evaluates whether there is additive effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied to lower lumbar region to core stabilization exercises in the management of chronic low back pain. Participants will randomly divide into two groups; half will receive core stabilization exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in combination, while the other half will receive core stabilization exercises and sham NMES.
