View clinical trials related to Low Back Pain.
Filter by:Low back pain is caused by strain of the ligaments or muscles around the vertebral column or a musculoskeletal system formed due to compression of the nerves coming out of the spinal cord is a system nuisance.The process that begins as acute pain become chronic with prolongation of life, limit physical function and negatively affecting the quality of work, loss of workforce and health care It is an important health problem that causes an increase in expenditures. Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in the study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and control. Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise program in the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group. Pain intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception (digital inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability index), and quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.This study aims to investigate the effect of the Graston technique added to exercise on pain, proprioception, disability, flexibility, and quality of life in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
To compare the effects of kinesiotaping and electrical muscle stimulation on low back pain and disability associated with diastasis recti.
There is marked uncertainty regarding the feasibility of achieving adequate blinding in randomized controlled trials of manual therapy. In other words, whether participants and outcome assessors can accurately perceive randomly assigned interventions is unclear. This feasibility trial was conducted as part of a doctoral epidemiology course at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Within the practice-based context of the class and using a study population of healthy graduate students enrolled in the course, the investigators aimed to evaluate blinding of participants randomly assigned (similar to tossing a coin) to one of two manual therapy interventions (active versus control). The investigators also aimed to assess blinding among outcome assessors.
The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of two different telerehabilitation assessment methods in patients with chronic low back pain. The control group will receive a video exercise-based rehabilitation protocol with telerehabilitation. The intervention group will be followed up with the same protocol plus symptom monitoring software called PhysioAnalyst which provides visual feedback. The evaluation of outcome measures will be performed on the control group through the PhysioAnalist programme without visual feedback and on the intervention group through the PhysioAnalist programme with visual feedback.
To evaluate the effect of pelvic floor muscle strength on women with non-specific low back pain
To compare effect of myofascial Release versus post facilitation stretch in term of pain ,range of motion and disability in chronic non specific low back pain in patients.
The specific aims of this proposal are to: Examining the effects of dorsal column stimulation on pain from lumbar spinal stenosis related to lumbar epidural lipomatosis. The primary outcome will be improvement in VAS score of combined back and leg pain at 6 weeks follow-up. Secondary outcomes will include improvement in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) back pain scores, VAS leg pain scores, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) , as well as SCS complication rate.

The most recent evidence showed that the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019, National Institutes of Health) pandemic caused an increase in low back pain (LBP) prevalence and intensity among young people. This may be explained by the prolonged sitting time, next to reduced level of physical activity. Young people spend most of their time in a sitting position while studying (in school class, during homework) and using electronic devices (using the computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablets, or watching TV), and now using e-learning methods. E-learning, and thus prolonged sitting, is a topic that returned to higher education at the beginning of the 2022-2023 academic year because of the current energy crisis. Re-education on sitting posture is a common aspect of LBP management. Physiotherapists recommend many different sitting positions to prevent and treat the negative effects of prolonged sitting. However, there is debate regarding what is an optimal sitting posture. Studies showed that sitting posture with the backrest on the chair induced minimal changes in lumbar lordosis and significantly lesser pain compared to other types of the chair. Even though the sitting posture will be followed by proper ergonomic principles, every position (lordotic or kyphotic) maintained for a prolonged time leads to discomfort and soft tissue symptoms. Studies showed that body perceived discomfort scores increased over time during sitting and after 30 min of sitting is significantly greater than those at baseline. Currently, breaks are recommended for mitigating the adverse of prolonged sitting, but more evidence is needed to verify effectiveness of breaks. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of active break on reduce LBP and perceived musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting in young people with LBP. Optimal combination of sitting and breaks will help to develop ergonomic recommendations for young people. Main research outcomes - exercise protocol and intervention - will be developed to match the needs of young people with LBP and the possibilities of the environment, in order to reduce LBP and musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting, and consequently, maintain health and quality of life. The intervention will address the social and health needs of a particular social group: young people, with the possibility of extending the recommendations to other groups.
The goal of this study is to enroll and randomize 99 participants with non-specific low back pain into a multimodal strategy of treatment consisting of a combination of dry needling (DN) and spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), DN only, and SMT only, followed by an at home exercise program. All groups will receive their respective treatment twice a week for 2 weeks followed by a 2-week home exercise program. Primary outcomes include clinical subjective (Oswestry Disability Index, numeric pain intensity rating) and mechanistic (lumbar multifidus, erector spinae, and gluteus medius muscle activation) measures assessed at baseline, 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Timepoints at 2-weeks and 4-weeks will be compared to baseline measures to determine effectiveness of the combination group against the other single treatment groups. Exercise compliance will be measured by participants self-reporting adherence to the program by selecting average number of days per week the exercises are completed.
The purpose of the study is to examine the implementation strategy, in terms of feasibility and the possible benefits, of a free online Zoom t'ai chi and qigong gentle movement and meditation program to reduce back pain and improve sleep and quality of life among those with chronic back pain. The primary objective of this study is to examine whether a safe and moderate online t'ai chi and qigong exercise program, offered without cost to individuals with chronic back pain, improves pain levels, sleep, and quality of life; The secondary objective is to explore whether improvements in pain levels are different among smokers and those with unhealthy BMI than among others.
