Filter by:Many patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture (acute OVFs) admitted because of low back pain. But there are only part of patients with acute OVFs, because some patients do not have low back pain although OVFs occurred.
This study is designed to compare the outcomes of two types of manual therapy techniques on patients with low back pain. Both immediate- and long-term outcomes will be examined. The investigators hypothesize there will be no differences between the two applied treatment techniques in immediate and longer-term assessments.
The aim of this prospective study is to explore the pain-alleviating effect of low-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy(ESWT) in patients with chronic low back pain.
To investigate the effects of short-term and medium-term monochromatic infrared energy therapy on patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
Lumbar spinal fusion was introduced approximately 70 years ago and has evolved as a treatment option for symptomatic spinal instability, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative scoliosis. Many techniques evolved since then, from wiring, rods, pedicle screws, and recently inter-spinous fixation devices like the Aspen. Along its evolutionary trail, various methods for achieving circumferential fusion have arisen. Distinct from staged anterior/posterior fusion techniques, two methods of achieving an interbody fusion from a posterior approach have emerged: posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Recently, the lateral approach for interbody fusion (XLIF) has became a more common technique, requiring in some cases, complemental posterior fixation with pedicle screws, facet screws or interspinous fixation devices like the Aspen device. In this study, we address the clinical and radiological outcome of a novel technique using standard PLIF interbody fusion and insertion of the Aspen device via posterior lumbar approach.
The mian purpose of this study is to analysis the imaging changes in 3.0T MRI of lumbar small joints, intervertebral discs, ligaments and muscle in hospital nurses first suffered with low back pain.
This study is being conducted to investigate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for alleviating pain of spondylosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pamidronate is effective and well-tolerated in the treatment of painful degenerative disk disease, also known as Modic type 1 changes
This study is intended to evaluate the effect of olive oil phonophoresis on chronic law back pain in female athletes.
The purpose of the research study entitled "Efficacy of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) and Phototherapy for Patients with Chronic Lower Back Pain" is to investigate the hypothesis that combined treatment with both osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) and phototherapy will provide greater pain relief for patients with chronic lower back pain, as compared with standard medical management or either treatment alone.
