Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEP-37247 compared with placebo as assessed by the occurrence of adverse events, and the mean change in average pain intensity (API) in the affected leg.
Low back pain ( LBP) is a significant health problem which affects about 70%-80% of the population during the course of their life . The majority of LBP is resolved within 3 months; however, up to 40% of LBP becomes chronic. One subgroup of chronic LBP is patients with sciatica. Sciatica is characterized by radiating pain to the buttock and lower limb, with or without low back pain. It has been shown in the upper limb that by positioning the contra-lateral arm in tension the investigators actually reduce tension in the ipsilateral arm. Patients, who present with symptoms like sciatica, can benefit from this maneuver (neural dynamics techniques) that reduces tension through the contra-lateral leg. Working Hypothesis: Compared with a placebo maneuver of the upper limb, the neural dynamics techniques will result in better rehabilitation of individuals with radicular LBP.
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, single dose study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose levels of REGN475 compared with placebo in patients with sciatic pain. Enrollment of approximately 50 patients in each of the 3 treatment arms is expected at up to 35 US sites, for a total enrollment of approximately 150 patients. Patients will receive 1 injection under the skin of either active or placebo REGN475, and be followed over 10 visits for 12 weeks.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the safety/tolerability profile, systemic PK behavior, and immunogenicity of single IV and SC administrations of BG00010 to sciatica participants.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of adding mechanical traction to standard physical therapy treatments for patients with low back pain.
The study aims at assessing the short and long-term effectiveness and patient perception of benefit with the use of a DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System in the treatment of complex disc disease at a single level from L2 to L5.
Sciatica is a condition that causes a sharp, burning pain in the back, buttock, and leg. The condition is caused by injury to or compression of the sciatic nerve, which is located in the back of the leg. This study will determine the effectiveness of the steroid prednisone in decreasing pain and improving function in people with sciatica.
A preliminary study to determine the use of far infrared radiation for the treatment of back pain
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adalimumab (a TNF-alpha inhibitor) is effective in the treatment of severe and acute sciatica.
The purpose of this study was to compare standardized chiropractic treatment (spinal manipulation) to back surgery (microdiscectomy) for patients with sciatica secondary to lumbar herniated disc refractory to medical management.
