Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide and has substantial impacts on pain and function for an individual. Some individuals with LBP seek physical therapy for their condition. The purpose of the study is to determine whether individuals with LBP have improved pain and disability following physical therapy targeting either the low back only or low back plus hip(s).

To determine if there is any carry over difference with sensation training to the low back for patients with low back pain with the addition of a training at home. This will be looked at to see if there is a difference in pain or back / leg movement right after the training and in a few days after doing some exercises at home.

The Adult Back Pain and Body Posture Assessment Instrument (BackPDE-Y), whose validity and reliability is planned, will be applied. This assessment scale will be translated into Turkish by two native Turkish speakers, one who is fluent in English.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the Erector Spinae plane (ESP) block, a nerve block, to usual care in emergency department patients with back pain. The main question it aims to answer: Is the ESP block superior to usual care in the treatment of back pain in the emergency department? Participants will be randomly assigned to the ESP or the usual care group. Pain improvement at the time of emergency department discharge will be compared.

The menstrual cycle is governed by hormonal changes. Each cycle can be divided into three phases based on events in the ovary (ovarian cycle) or in the uterus (uterine cycle). H0: There will be no correlation between pelvic pain and postural stability in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle H0: There will be no correlation between low back pain and postural stability in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle H0: There will be no correlation between pelvic pain and low back pain in healthy young women during the menstrual cycle

Introduction: Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that is associated with symptoms such as pain, limitation of joint range and postural problems in athletes. Methods: The study design is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a minimum of 35 elite gymnasts with back pain. Two postural treatments will be implemented, Mezieres Method and Isostretching to verify if there is improvement of back pain in gymnasts and to compare both procedures. Discussion: This trial could generate a greater understanding of the importance of posture related to low back pain and its possible treatments.

The primary aim of this study is to examine how different physical therapy interventions affect the resting state and contraction state of a certain abdominal muscle in patients with low back pain.

The purpose of this study is to investigate acute low back pain, its origin, mechanisms, the cause of pain, evaluation of treatments and development. Employees from a large local manufacturing company are sent for a complete orthopedic and pain evaluation immediately after onset of acute low back pain. Thereafter, the included patients are allocated either to the advice to stay as active as possible in spite of the pain or to adjust their activity to the pain. Pain intensity and physical activity are followed prospectively over seven days using a diary and a pedometer.

ZetrOZ's Ultrasonic Diathermy device is intended for use as a portable and wearable medical device which, when applied to various areas of the body applies Low Intensity Therapeutic Ultrasound (LITUS) to deep tissues. This device is FDA-cleared for pain reduction, treatment of muscle spasm and joint contracture, and increasing local circulation. This study will look at the use of therapeutic ultrasound to relieve pain and reduce disability in subjects with chronic low back pain, a subset of which will have chronic low back pain due to a herniated disc, over an 8-week treatment period.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem among US adults. Initial episodes tend to be self-limited ("acute"), but some people can progress to a state of persistent pain. Often termed "chronic" LBP (cLBP), this condition can cause prolonged difficulty with most daily activities, including job performance. This study will compare two approaches for preventing patients with acute LBP (aLBP) from developing cLBP using a pragmatic, cluster randomized trial. The first approach is to provide PCPs with information regarding a patient's risk of transitioning from aLBP to cLBP and to encourage PCPs to treat patients according to accepted clinical guidelines. The second approach is to provide the same risk information and have PCPs team up with physical therapists to deliver psychologically-informed physical therapy (PIPT) for those patients determined to be at high risk for transitioning to cLBP. The 1,860 patients expected to be enrolled at five regional sites (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Boston, Massachusetts; Baltimore, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; and Salt Lake City, Utah) will start the study when their LBP is in an acute phase. The study's primary aims are to compare the proportions of cLBP and measures of functional ability between the two groups at 6 months. Secondary aims are to measure the referrals to physical therapists and specialists, opioid prescriptions, LBP-related x-rays or MRIs, surgeries, and other medical procedures during a 12-month follow-up period.
