Filter by:The intervention involved two groups participating in supervised Pilates sessions, twice a week for 8 weeks, featuring a mix of mat and props-based exercises. Group 1 received additional cueing training to enhance alignment, muscle engagement, and movement technique, while Group 2 underwent the same Pilates regimen without this cueing component.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of HXTL in the treatment of NSLBP based on TCM principles and to compare the clinical outcomes of different syndromes of NSLBP with celecoxib.In this study, 80 patients with NSLBP were recruited and randomly grouped to use TCM compound and celeoxib respectively for intervention. The pain status and lumbar function use scale of patients were scored before intervention, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after intervention, and the adverse reactions of patients after medication were recorded, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups of patients was compared finally.
The study aims to explore if non-response bias exists among individuals with chronic back pain, focusing on the impact of chronic disease count, treatment burden from multimorbidity, and health-related quality of life. Data is gathered from patients at Aalborg University Hospital's Rheumatology Department via electronic means and medical records. The analysis comprises two-wave assessments, investigating disparities among patients responding to study invitations based on response patterns: first, second, or third invitation responses. Utilizing baseline data, a one-way ANOVA is employed to detect potential between-group variations in the mentioned factors. Subsequently, a repeated measures ANOVA is conducted to evaluate differences among groups over time. Additionally, statistical analyses are conducted to scrutinize variances in age and gender distribution between respondents and non-respondents to the questionnaire invitations at baseline.
Low back pain is considered one of the great global challenges in public health due to its high prevalence. Exercise have been shown to cause an increase in pain thresholds, through the effect known as exercise-induced hypoalgesia. Little is known about exercise-induced hypoalgesia induced by different modalities of exercise in low back pain, and its possible effects in lumbopelvic biomechanics. The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of exercise-induced hypoalgesia after an isometric, aerobic and a sham/ placebo exercise in non-specific low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does an isometric exercise intervention cause exercise-induced hypoalgesia in non-specific low back pain patients? - Is the effect of an isometric exercise intervention comparable to that of aerobic exercise? - Is a placebo/ sham intervention also effective to reduce pain thresholds in these patients? - Do healthy subjects show the same effects in pain thresholds as low back pain patients ? Participants will perform an isometric, aerobic and placebo/ sham exercise intervention in three different recording sessions. Before and after the interventions, pain intensity, pain-pressure thresholds and lumbopelvic biomechanical parameters during trunk flexion-extension will be recorded. Researchers will compare a group of low back pain patients to an age-, gender- and anthropometrics-matched control group of pain-free subjects to see if exercise-induced hypoalgesia is also observed when there is no low back pain diagnosis.

Low back pain affects 60 to 90% of the total population. It is one of the most common causes of disability in adults. Low back pain can be originated from a wide variety of structures, and the facet joint is one of these structures. It is thought that 21 to 41% of low back pain originates from the facet joint. A wide variety of conservative treatments, including intra-articular injections, are used to treat low back pain originating from the facet joint. However, there is still no consensus on the most effective treatment method. With appropriate patient selection, facet joint injections can provide significant improvements in patients' pain scores. After Goldthwait defined the facet joint concept in 1911, Ghormley defined facet joint syndrome in 1933. The source of pain in 40-50% of patients is the lumbar facet joints. Innervation of the lumbar facet joints is provided by the medial branches of the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves. In 1975, Shealy described the coagulation of the articular nerve support of the spinal facet joints with the radiofrequency method. These methods have been further developed over time. The results of facet joint injections are satisfactory in well-selected patient groups. It has been shown that intra-articular steroid injection to the facet joint is superior to systemic steroid use in patients with low back pain. In this study, it was aimed to methodically compare the facet joint injections applied to patients diagnosed with facet syndrome in the outpatient clinic of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital in terms of patient pain scores, application time, effort spent and patient anxiety. Intra-articular injections will be performed under by fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance or anatomic location.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rexlemestrocel-L+HA compared to control in reducing low back pain at 12 months post-treatment and safety of a single injection of rexlemestrocel-L+HA injected into a lumbar intervertebral disc compared to control through 12 months post-treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based and clinic-based methods to deliver a Core Stabilization Exercise Program with the Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver Technique (CSE with ADIM) on pain intensity, functional ability, quality of life, and satisfaction in chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference between the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based and clinic-based CSE with ADIM on pain intensity, functional ability, quality of life, and satisfaction in chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability? Participants will perform a 7-week core stabilization exercise with the abdominal drawing-in maneuver technique, consisting of an exercise program for 20-minute sessions with 3 sessions per week. These exercise programs will be provided to the participants via a weekly video call with the main researcher as a telerehabilitation program. At the first session of each week, the researcher will provide supervision via video call with the participant for the exercise program. The participants will perform the exercise by following the video demonstration. After completing weekly training, participants will perform their exercise routine as part of their daily home program. If there is a comparison group: researchers will compare The control group (clinical-base group) will be provided the 7-week core stabilization exercise with abdominal drawing-in maneuver technique, the same as the experimental group, but control groups received the exercise program at the clinic according to the usual methods. At the first session of each week, an appointment will be set, and then the specific exercise for each week will be delivered and trained by the main researcher at the clinic. After completing weekly training, participants will perform their exercise routine as part of their daily home program to see if there are any differences in pain intensity, functional ability, quality of life, and satisfaction in chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability between the experimental and control groups.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a debilitating condition and costly to treat. Long-term drug treatment often fails due to habituation, breakthrough of pain, or adverse effects of drug treatment. Opioid use to manage this pain has contributed to the opioid epidemic. Spinal cord stimulators have emerged as a promising treatment and reduces reliance on drugs. However, response to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is unpredictable. It is difficult to predict which patients will respond positively to SCS because the physiological mechanism for treatment responsiveness is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate how spinal cord stimulators affect functional measures in patients with CLBP, including functional MRI, neurophysiology, gait analysis, and questionnaires. The results of this study can lead to the widespread adoption of spinal cord stimulators as a safe and effective therapy for CLBP, reducing the reliance on opioids and mitigating the opioid epidemic's impact.
