Filter by:Chronic sciatica is a frequent problem whose symptoms could be related to the abnormal stresses applied to the musculoskeletal system during the gait cycle due to foot alterations. The objectives of this study are to describe the main foot alterations in patients with chronic sciatica, and to evaluate whether foot orthoses can help alleviate this pain. Patients with chronic sciatica caused by lumbar disc herniation will be recruited and randomly allocate to one of both groups: one group that will be treated with custom-made foot orthoses, and one group that will be treated with a placebo orthotic device. Quality of life, pain in low-back, lower limb and foot, and disability caused by foot pain will be recorded at baseline, and after a two-month follow-up period.
To compare the effects of post facilitation stretch and active isolated stretch along with deep friction massage on pain pressure threshold of trigger points, disability, muscle length, and hip joint range of motion in wallet sciatica.
Guidelines advocate several complementary modalities as alternatives to drugs and other invasive treatments for chronic low back pain (LBP) conditions. However, there is little high-quality research investigating treatments for back-related leg pain, one of the more severe and disabling presentations of LBP. The investigators are conducting a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a future phase II multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT). The future trial will assess the comparative effectiveness of a novel supported biopsychosocial self-management (SBSM) intervention versus Medical Care (MC).
This is a phase 3 prospective randomised double-blind study versus placebo, measuring the efficacy of soluble Dexamethasone by echo-guided infiltrations through the sacro-coccygeal hiatus in intractable sciatica
The purpose of the study to investigate the effect of muscle energy techniques on functional abilities of patients with chronic discogenic unilateral sciatica and to explain it from a physiological and functional point of view
In this study, investigator will see the effects of neural mobilization in comparison to the muscle energy technique in the patients suffering from sciatica. Impact of the these two interventional techniques , there out come measures i.e pain, range of motion and functional disability.
The aims of the study are: To study the pain efficacy of an electroacupuncture and manual therapy protocol versus the use of manual therapy in patients with sciatica. To study the efficacy on function of an electroacupuncture and manual therapy protocol versus the use of manual therapy in patients with sciatica.
This study compares between neurodynamic mobilization and stretching exercises in treatment of chronic dicogenic sciatica
In a cross-over, open-label, randomized, controlled trial, the investigators aim to determine if the daily activity level in patients with LBP can be increased via feedback from an app, connected to a wearable sensor of physical activity.
Sciatica is a disabling condition that affects many people. This condition has an enormous influence on the social functioning of patients. The clinical determination of the severity of back pain is mainly done with validated questionnaires, which express the subjective pattern of complaints in a score. These usually reflect the severity of the complaints, but there is still a lack of objective and quantitative tests. In this study, the aim is to investigate whether there is a connection between the duration of the 5R-STS test and the outcome of low back operations after one year. In other words: What is the predictive value of this test on the result of surgery? The validated five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) is a standardized test that has its origin in pneumology and is derived from the 1-minute sit-to-stand test. In this test, the patient stands up and sits down for 1 minute as often as possible from a chair without armrests, counting the number of movements. This not only measures how mobile the patient is, but can also say something about the condition of the heart and lungs. Recently, the 5R-STS has been described, in which the time is measured in which the patient has to stand up straight and sit down again five times from a chair.
