Filter by:The goal of the proposed research is to test the feasibility of a functional progression program to reduce cost and possible radiation exposure for adolescent athletes with low back pain. Specifically the investigators plan to test the feasibility of using progression in rehabilitation to pragmatically differentially diagnose and treat adolescent athletes with low back pain, instead of using advanced imaging which is the current practice. The investigators propose to recruit 20 participants, with 10 of usual care (advanced imaging) and 10 of proposed intervention (functional progression) to assess the feasibility of using functional progress to guide treatment. The outcomes measured will be number of days for rest, time to start regular rehabilitation, pain experienced, functional outcomes, ability to return to sport, time needed to return to sport. If this pilot demonstrates the feasibility and a decreased rate of advanced imaging and similar clinical outcomes the investigators plan to progress this work into larger trials.
The purpose of this study is to determine the short-term effects of thoracic spine thrust manipulation on participants with low back pain. Participants in this study will be randomized to receive either the lower thoracic spinal manipulation and a standard set of exercises, or a sham manipulation and the same standard set of exercises. It is hypothesized that thoracic manipulation when combined with core strengthening exercises will have positive short term improvements in pain and function for patients with LBP as compared to a sham manipulation combined with core strengthening exercises.
Objective: To determine the influence of a counseling of physical activity (PA) versus usual care (UC) in the magnitude of chronic pain (CP) in patients diagnosed with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: A total of 64 subjects with (CLBP) and older were randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (UC) + counseling of (AF) and control group (UC). Each group consisted of 32 participants and were evaluated twice (pre and post-intervention), being spaced one month, both groups received telephone follow-up for their participation. The primary endpoint was the magnitude of the (CP) measured by the tool grading scale of chronic pain (EGDC), while as secondary were considered the cardiovascular risk factors, catastrophism, kinesiofobia, disabled by back pain, quality of life, anxiety and depression and the (FA).
The primary purpose is to examine the impact that physical therapy (PT) interventions, including manipulations, have on physical activity levels outside of the clinical environment in persons with low back pain (LBP) as measured both objectively with an accelerometer and subjectively with questionnaires. The secondary purpose is to determine if a relationship exists between objective physical activity, self-perceived disability pain catastrophizing thoughts, BMI, age, six-minute walk distance, lower extremity muscle endurance. The tertiary purpose is to assess the predictive value that a standing manual lumbar unloading technique has for relief of pain following manipulation
This study aims to verify the effects of a segmental stabilization exercise program on the anticipatory postural adjustment of subjects with chronic lumbar pain. The effects will be assessed by means of superficial electromyography focused on the registry of the onset of multifidius and deltoid (anterior and posterior) activity during a repetitive shoulder flexion/extension.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride (HCl) extended release (CER) 15 mg capsule once daily in participants with muscle spasms associated with acute painful musculoskeletal conditions.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of electrical stimulation and kinesio taping in combination with exercise in People with Chronic Low Back Pain
Supervised exercises are the first line therapy for patients with chronic low back pain. The lumbar segmental stabilization (LSE) is a specific training for the muscles of the lumbar spine, which aims to improve neuromuscular control, strength and endurance of the muscles that promotes stability to the spine. The circular dance (CD) belongs to the group of complementary and integrative practices entered in Public Health Care in Brazil, and has been used to improve several aspects related to physical and mental states such as flexibility, posture, strength and muscular endurance, awareness or scheme body, pain control and strains. There are few studies evaluating the circular dance effect on back pain. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of lumbar stabilization exercises and circular dance for improvement in non specific low back pain in middle-aged women.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical therapy program which includes scar management, core retraining, and lumbar and pelvic joint mobilization will significantly impact the postpartum recovery following Cesarean section during the immediate postpartum period and during the first 1.5 years following childbirth. All patients who enroll in the study will receive standard treatment following a C-section delivery. Subjects will be randomized into one of two groups; one group will receive physical therapy in addition to standard post C-section treatment, and the other group will receive standard post C-section treatment with no additional physical therapy. Both groups will complete questionnaires regarding their pain and recovery from C-section delivery to determine if there is a difference in recovery between the group receiving physical therapy and the group not receiving physical therapy.
The trust between patients and medical providers is the cornerstone to obtain success treatment. To boost the trust can increase medical prescription compliance, enhance patient satisfaction, and improve the effectiveness of treatment. Otherwise, mistrust between medical providers and patients will result in ineffective treatment and excessive defensive health care. This situation may cause medical dispute and medical resources wasting problems. Most of treatment complete in a few times of admissions and interventions. So, how to improve the trust between patients and doctors quickly became a more knotty problem. Several studies found that speech (including listening, showing compassion, and take longer to explain), reputation, clothing, offer a newer therapy were more important than age, title, and sex. However, past researches were restricted to an unclear causal relationship. That is they can't be determined whether good doctor-patient relationship and better trust conditions create a longer visit time, better satisfaction, and good reputation, or vice versa. They also unable to clarify whether the high degree of trust result in improved treatment effects, or good relationship result from good medical outcomes. Investigators want to design a randomized control trial by giving patients recommendation and physical therapist introductions to enhance the trust of patients to therapists. And this study may verify whether enhance trust between therapists and patients will lead to changes in treatment effectiveness.
