Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Emergency department (ED)-initiated physical therapy is a rapidly growing resource and represents a promising treatment approach to low back pain. This clinical trial will evaluate an innovative model of an emergency department "embedded" physical therapist to treat patients with acute low back pain, with a focus on improving patient functioning and reducing opioid use.

The patients will be clinically examined, as well as evaluated with Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI) at baseline and at follow-ups.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of technology-based interventions, specifically web-based platforms, on outcomes of patients with chronic low back pain. The objectives are to develop and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of these interventions, and to examine factors such as age and gender on implementation and adherence. It consists of an interventional proof-of-concept pilot study with 45 participants randomly divided into 3 groups: an interactive physical activity group, a pre-recorded video physical activity group, and a control group. Assessments will be conducted at weeks 0 and 12 to measure pain intensity with the Canadian adaptation of the National Institutes of Health minimal dataset for chronic low back pain.

To compare the effects of home based stabilization exercises and kegel exercises on low back pain, disability and quality of life in postnatal females.

The dissertation will focus on the possibilities of using pressure sensors during physiotherapy care. A single-blind randomized study will be conducted on a sample of at least 40 probands of working age with chronic LBP in the age range of 30-65 years. The following exclusive criteria are established: signs of serious spinal pathology (red flags), severe musculoskeletal trauma in the last year, vestibular, visual or neurological dysfunction affecting stability, ongoing pregnancy or breastfeeding, acute respiratory disease, cognitive dysfunction leading to misunderstanding of instructions and severe cardiac or internal disease. Inclusive and exclusive criteria will be evaluated by a rehabilitation doctor during a comprehensive examination before the start of therapy. All probands will undergo six-week outpatient therapy once a week. The intervention group will be equipped with an OhmTrak device for home self-therapy and instructed in its correct use at least 5 times a week. The control group will receive identical outpatient therapy and instruction in self-therapy, except they will not have access to the OhmTrak device. Before the start and at the end of the six-week therapy, all probands will be blindly evaluated for the quality of activation and use of intra-abdominal pressure with the DNS Brace device. At the same time, the Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire will be used to subjectively evaluate the probands before and after a series of therapies. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the possibility of using pressure sensors to improve the effect of physiotherapy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of mulligan straight leg raise versus slump stretching on pain, disability and hip range of motion in patient with low back pain. . Convenient sampling technique will be used to enroll the patients. Patients will be inquire into basis of pre formulated eligibility criteria. Written Consent will be taken from each patient before starting interventional sessions. Sample size of this study will consist on the participants who will qualify for both inclusion an exclusion criteria. Both groups will receive ultrasonic therapy and hot pack therapy as baseline treatment. Group A will receive mulligan straight leg raise and group B will receive slump stretching. The assessment of patients will be done at baseline, 4th and 8th week. The outcomes from patients will be calculated by using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Goniometer and ODI. The comparison between pre-treatment and post-treatment data will be done after 8th week. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.

Low back pain is a common disorder that every individual in the society is likely to meet throughout his/her life. Low back pain lasting longer than 12 weeks is defined as chronic low back pain and causes serious disability in the community. Conservative, pharmacological, interventional and surgical treatment options are available in its treatment. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of ultrasound-guided deep paravertebral periforaminal ozone injection treatment on physical examination, functional independence, quality of life and pain scores in patients with chronic low back and leg pain and to compare it with transforaminal epidural steroid injection treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the primary spine practitioner (PSP) model of care will lead to improvements in patient outcomes, as compared to usual care, based on change in patient-reported PROMIS Pain Interference and Physical Function from baseline to 3 months in patients aged 18 years and older with a primary complaint of low back pain (LBP).

We aim to compare the effectiveness of MFR and exercise therapy on mobility and function by investigating the effectiveness of the Myofascial Release Technique (MFR), which we will apply to the muscles we choose related to the facial system connection in participants with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) and low back pain.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about improving the quality of treatments for people who have chronic low back pain. Participants will complete interviews with Duke researchers at four different time points: the beginning of the study, at 3 months, at 6 months, and at 9 months. Participants will be asked to use a mobile app and a headset that are designed to train the brain to be more relaxed. Participants will use the mobile app for 10 minutes at a time, four times a week for three months. The study team will also check in with participants about app use six times throughout the study, via phone or video conference.
