Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of the no!no!Back continuous passive motion device in relieving of mild to moderate non-specific low back pain.


Description:

The no!no!Back is an electrically operated, continuous passive motion device including a platform that performs angular oscillations. The device is intended to be used at home as an accessory for relieving of mild to moderate low back pain (LBP).

This study is designed to determine the efficacy of daily use home use with the no!no!Back device during 3 weeks and to assess the sustained effect 3 weeks later. Up to 30 subjects will be randomized to either an immediate treatment (IT) group that will receive the no!no!Back device at the baseline visit, or to the wait-list control (WLC) group that will receive the device 3 weeks later. The evaluation will include level of pain using the numerical rating scale (NRS), functional health status by Oswestry disability index (ODI), and subject satisfaction.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in pain level after 3 weeks compared to baseline (before treatment) Pain level will be scored by the subject using a numerical rating scone on a 0 to 10 scale where 10 represents the highest degree of pain and 0 represents a complete lack of pain 3 weeks No
Secondary Change in functional health status by ODI Functional health status will be determined by the ODI questionnaire filled by the subject (10 multi-choice questions, takes 5 minutes to answer). 3,6 weeks No
Secondary Subject satisfaction The subject will be verbally asked to grade his/her overall satisfaction according to the satisfaction assessment scale based on a 5-point Likert scale detailed in Table 3 where 0 represents very unsatisfied and 4 represents very satisfied. In addition the subject will fill a questionnaire. 6 weeks No
