The Effect of Yoga on Body Awareness and Kinesiophobia in Women With Chronic Low Back Pain

Women With Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common problem in the musculoskeletal system and causes disability. The prevalence of chronic low back pain is 80% in women. Although there are many causes of low back pain, it is often not possible to find the exact cause of the pain. The consequences of chronic low back pain include musculoskeletal problems, decreased sleep quality, decreased quality of life and limitation in activities of daily living, depression, anxiety, and decreased body awareness and kinesiophobia. Kinesiophobia is defined as the fear of re-injury gained after injury, which reduces physical movement and activity. Patients with kinesiophobia develop the idea that movement will cause re-injury and add to pain. This situation leads to avoidance of physical activity and functional disability in the long term. Body awareness, on the other hand, is the awareness of the messages that the brain receives from other parts of the body and from the outside. These messages that the person receives include not only his own body and movements, but also information such as the characteristics and locations of other objects in the environment. This information is blended over time and turns into experiences of the body. Today, a rehabilitation method consisting of exercise programs, in which the active participation of the individual is ensured, is recommended, especially in the treatment approach to chronic low back pain. Within the scope of physiotherapy programs; heat applications and other physical therapy agents, exercise applications are recommended. Yoga is an alternative exercise practiced in CLBP as a body-mind exercise. Yoga is an easy-to-apply, non-invasive, cost-effective, scientifically proven practice.

An Exercise Program in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain

Exercise intervention aims to improve the function of the deep back muscles and spine stabilizers, which appear to be an essential factor in preventing low back pain recurrences. In order to achieve the best possible effect of exercise, the patient should exercise for a long time even after finishing the exercise program, and it is also essential that exercises improve the function of the deep back muscles and become a regular part of the patient's life. In cooperation with the Neurological Clinic and physiotherapists from the Rehabilitation Department of the Brno University Hospital, the investigators put together a rehabilitation program to improve the function of the deep back muscles and spine stabilizers (group I). This program contains commonly used exercises; the patient can perform the exercises himself at home after the training, and no special aids are needed. The rehabilitation program is based on daily independent exercise, while the patient keeps a record of his activity in an exercise diary, which should contribute to motivation for regular exercise. At the same time, the physiotherapist will contact the patients by phone at regular weekly intervals, thereby maintaining their motivation. A total of 3 exercises were created, in which the patient will be taught gradually, according to his abilities and exercise tolerance. Regular checks with a physiotherapist are established to evaluate the correctness of the exercises, frequency, and effect and to increase the difficulty of the exercises. At the end of the exercise program, the patient will be instructed that it is desirable to continue the regular exercise. That exercise should become a part of everyday life to prevent the recurrence of vertebral disorders. As part of our previous study entitled "Changes in the lumbar paraspinal muscles in patients with lower back pain," preliminary results showed a positive effect on the clinical condition of the patients, good tolerance of the exercises on the part of the patients, and satisfaction with completing the rehabilitation program.

Hamstring Viscoelasticity and Low Back Pain

Low Back PainAthletic Injuries

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent issue among adolescent rowers, particularly males aged 14 to 16 years, with a high lifetime prevalence (94%) and point prevalence (65%). One of the mechanisms of lower back pain in rowing athletes is about the elasticity, stiffness and tone of the hamstring muscle. Current literature shows that stretching exercises, strengthening exercises and kinesiotaping affects hamstring viscoelasticity in various ways. Stretching exercises affect hamstring muscle tone and elasticity, strengthening exercises affect muscle stiffness and kinesiotaping affects muscle tone. While the effects of each of these interventions on viscoelastic properties individually are examined in the literature, studies comparing the effects of changes in viscoelastic properties caused by these interventions on low back pain, athletic disability index and athletic performance in rowers and their superiority among each other are lacking. The goal of this study is to change the viscoelasticity of the hamstring muscles and examine its effect on low back pain, disability index and athletic performance.

Core Muscle Activation Exercise Training Program Effects in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain...

Low Back Pain

The study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check the effects of a core muscle activation exercise training program on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic low back pain so that we can devise a treatment protocol for patients with chronic low back pain. The study duration was 10 months, convenient sampling technique was used subject following eligibility criteria from the Orthopaedic medical center, Lahore. were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, a baseline assessment was done, and Group A received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound, TENS, and Core muscles activation exercises. Group B received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound and TENS for a total training program duration of 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week. Outcome measures were NPRS for assessment of pain, Modified Oswestry Disability index for functional disability, PBU for assessment and training of core stability, and baseline bubble inclinometer and were assessed and documented at 0 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of the treatment session

Active Mobilization of Hamstring for Non-specific Low Back Pain and Musculoskeletal Discomfort During...

Low Back Pain

Hip flexion is a normal part of everyday functional activities, including walking and sitting. The length of the hamstring influences on movement of the pelvis during hip flexion, consequently influencing lumbar lordosis. In most activities, the hamstring muscles are active and it is necessary to keep them at normal length. Sitting posture is responsible for the loss of the natural curvature of the lumbar spine, because the hip flexion and pelvic extension flatten the lumbar vertebrae (i.e., lumbopelvic rhythm). Furthermore tightened hamstring increases posterior pelvic tilt and reduces lumbar lordosis, which can tend to low back pain (LBP). Stretching exercises play an important role in both the prevention and treatment of LBP. One important option will be exercise protocol which will combine the active hamstring flexibility exercises with hip flexion mobilization and the development of the habit of correct hip flexion technique, protecting the lower spine. The aim of this RCT is to present a protocol for evaluating the effect of 12-week active hamstring flexibility exercises with hip flexion mobilization in reducing LBP and perceived musculoskeletal discomfort during prolonged sitting in young adults with non-specific LBP.

To study the response of objective and quasi-objective 'True' functional outcomes, analgesia and safety in chronic non-radicular back pain to buprenorphine buccal film (BBF) using a small 'n' phase IV design. To assess associations between traditional pain relevant subjective outcomes and objective or quasi-objective functional outcomes; In a small 'n' construct, to assess more powerful, 'new' statistical methods (e.g. hierarchical linear models, joint trajectory analysis) compared to traditional methods, in the context of increased power, more objective outcomes and cost savings. First a 2-week washout of any opioid medication (if necessary; if not necessary subject can proceed directly to); baseline week (Single Blind Placebo Lead In (SBPLI), using the placebo film resembling the 150mcg dose; then randomization to a ~ 2 week up titration either to effective Buprenorphine Buccal Film (BBF) dose 2 day average pain better than or equal to 3/10 NRS), highest tolerated dose BBF and/or maximum dose BBF of 900 mcg BID, or identical placebo material up to these parameters. This up titration is at the discretion and timing of the blinded and experienced PI. Subject will be allowed two doses of hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5/325 daily during the washout period. A single experienced practitioner will manage the titration as to safety, detail and timing; and determine when the subject enters the 8 week stable dose trial; this practitioner will remain blinded throughout unless there is an urgent, safety reason for unblinding

Spinal Cord Stimulation Versus Instrumentation for FBSS

Failed Back Surgery SyndromeSCS4 more

Low back pain affects people of all ages and has become the leading cause of living with disability worldwide. Patients, suffering from persistent pain after spinal surgery in the absence of any clear spinal pathology are defined of having a "failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS)" and treatment of FBSS remains a great controversy in the spinal community. Apart from conservative treatment, spinal fusion remains as therapeutic option. Furthermore, minimal invasive Neuromodulation techniques might be a promising alternative. Aim of this randomized interventional multi center study is to compare treatment success in FBSS patients with either spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or fusion surgery, 12 months after intervention according to the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and other scales and scores. Radiological and health economic outcome also will be analysed for thorough comparison of techniques. Additionally, the safety of the interventions needs to be compared.
