View clinical trials related to Non-specific Low Back Pain.
Filter by:Back pain is one of humanity most frequent complains. About nine of ten adults experience back pain at some points in their life and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year. When continued for long period it may constitute a disability which tries the patient of the most stoical individual as well as the doctor called to bring relief to the suffering victim. Kneading massage with topical analgesic is a common practice by physiotherapist especially in Nigeria in the management of low back pain, work has been done to know the efficacy of lofnac gel (topical analgesic) via phonophoresis in the management of low back pain(ojoawo,2015), but the comparison of the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis in the management of low back pain has not been well documented. The purpose of this study therefore, is to compare the efficacy of kneading massage and phonophoresis using lofnac gel in the treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain.
Dr. Macedo and others involved in the proposed research recently conducted a study that investigated whether simple clinical characteristics could identify patients who benefit more from either motor control exercises or graded activity. Results were statistically significant and clinically relevant demonstrating that a simple questionnaire could help aid the selection of the most appropriate exercise therapy for each individual patient. Therefore, we aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial following a similar approach to the original study to validate in a different sample the results of the effect modification analysis.
Despite the prevalence of chronic low back pain, functional symptomatology of this disease remains poor and treatment decisions are based mainly on subjective data (importance and pain tolerance). However, there are some experimental elements that involve objective assessment of locomotor capabilities - at forefront objectives which the walking velocity in the evaluation of this pathology in terms of severity of functional impairment. Recent evidence suggest the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation program for improving patients functional capacities and their reintegration in socio-professional life. This retrospective study aims to quantify the evolution of the parameters collected during standardized walking tests performed before and after rehabilitation program. These patients have systematically carry out a comfortable walk test (400m walk test) and a brisk walk test (200m) at the beginning and end of their program. Furthermore, a maximal stress test on a treadmill was performed before the program in order to detect any cardiovascular events and to allow the personalization of the effort level required (target heart rate) during rehabilitation. In this study the evolution of the comfortable and fast speed will be collected and compared with the stress test data, and other measured parameters (functional score of Quebec, muscle Tests Shirado and Sorensen).
RCT study of the effect of an educational-based intervention on low back pain-related outcomes concerning beliefs and behaviour.
