Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

The present project aims to investigate the effects of lumbar strengthening training combined with photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on functional and psychological aspects in young and older adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. We hypothesized that lumbar strengthening training combined with PBMT should promote greater improvement on functional and psychological variables compared to strengthening training alone (placebo PBMT).

The investigator assessed 54 patients with chronic lumbar back pain treated with FIT Therapy (far infrared technology) patch. The criteria for inclusion were chronic lumbar back pain due to overstress or to contracture and patients over 30 years old. Patients with tumors, infections, neurological and metabolic diseases were excluded. Three different types of FIT Therapy patches (F4, F3 and the placebo) were used according to the different power of action. The patches were self-removed after 5 days. At day 8 new ones were applied for other five days and at day 14 patients were dismissed. Every single patient was assessed during the study using the VAS pain scale, the Roland Morris questionnaire for quality of life and the range of motion (ROM).

This study is a prospective, multi-site, randomized, shamcontrolled, double-blind trial with one-way crossover designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of the Gimer NeuroBlock SCS Trialing System for the treatment of chronic back pain and/or lower limb pain. The NeuroBlock SCS Trialing System is an ultra-high frequency SCS device for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain and/or lower limb pain who are refractory to conservative pain management. After screening procedures, eligible subjects will enter the study which is comprised of a 1-week randomized testing period, a 1-week follow-up period and 2-week observation period.

The purpose of this study will be to assess the effects of an 8-week hypo-pressive abdominal exercise program on Inspiratory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness, pressure pain threshold and disability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out. A total sample of 40 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain will be recruited and divided into 2 groups including an experimental group (n=20) which will receive an 8-week hypo-pressive abdominal exercise program and a control group (n=20) which will not receive any training program. Inspiratory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness, pressure pain threshold and disability will be assessed.

It is clear that low back pain (LBP) is a major challenge in our society, which can lead to severe disability in many individuals. Although there are several different treatments and approaches to help individuals with LBP, the number affected by this condition has been steadily increasing. OMT has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of LBP. In fact, the use of OMT has been shown to increase mobility of the lumbar myofascial tissues, visceral motion and decrease pain in patients with LBP. Bio Electro-Magnetic Regulation (BEMER) Therapy is a therapeutic modality that deploys a biorhythmically defined stimulus through a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), which leads to an increase in blood flow. The positive effects of BEMER on the circulation has been shown to result in significant increases in arteriovenous oxygen difference, number of open capillaries, arteriolar and venular flow volume, and flow rate of red blood cells in the microvasculature. Therefore, BEMER can potentially be used in the treatment of LBP by improving microcirculation in muscular tissue. In fact, BEMER with physiotherapy showed reductions in pain and fatigue acutely in patients with chronic low back pain. A systemic review of randomized controlled trials that investigated whether PEMF was effective in low back pain showed there was decrease in pain intensity and improved functionality in individuals with different low back pain conditions. Therefore, it is plausible that the combination of OMT and BEMER therapy may help increase circulation to myofascial structures that influence low back restriction and pain. The purpose of this study is to investigate the individual and combined effects of OMT and BEMER therapy on low back pain.

The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of electrical dry needling versus ischemic compression, analytical stretching and postural habits educational dossier in active myofascial trigger points in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

New ways of delivering care are much needed to address chronic low back pain. Crucially, these need to: a) address the three pillars of care to achieve good and sustained clinical outcomes; b) overcome barriers to access; c) ensure patients are engaged throughout the programs; d) be scalable and cost-efficient. SWORD Health has developed a digital care program to address these needs. This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of this rehabilitation program versus conventional physical therapy.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of breathing exercises combined with core stabilization exercises in mothers with chronic non-specific low back pain of children with special health care needs.

This is an open-label prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study comparing DTM-SCS programming approach to Conventional SCS programming approach. The purpose of this investigational study is to study the effects of Differential Target Multiplexed Spinal Cord Stimulation (DTM-SCS) in subjects with chronic, intractable pain of the trunk with or without lower limb pain, including unilateral or bilateral pain without prior history of spine surgery and refractory to conservative and surgical interventions.

The aim of this study is to effectively investigate the relaxation of the diaphragm and iliopsoas muscle with myofascial technique in patients with chronic low back pain.
