Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Exercise-based treatment is part of the recommendations for good practice in the treatment of low back pain (acute, sub-acute and chronic). The low back pain population is heterogeneous. This heterogeneity would cause the positive effects of a treatment to be canceled out by the negative effects of another part of the population. This polymorphism has led several authors to classify low back pain into subgroups. These subgroups constitute more homogeneous clinical pictures and would facilitate the adaptation of treatments. The recommendations of the American Physical Therapy Association suggest 5 subgroups of low back pain. One of them is "low back pain with movement coordination defect". In this subgroup, Luomajoki studied the reliability of different functional tests used in clinical practice. 6 out of 10 motion control fault tests show good reliability. The quantified analysis of the movement of low back pain patients would make it possible to determine the sensitivity of detecting an anomaly in the 6 lumbar movement control tests.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of centre-based program of 6 weeks with HUBER platform on the spine flexion-to-extension ratio at 60 and 120˚/s, pain and trunk flexibility in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). A total of 70 individuals with Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain will be randomised into 2 intervention arms (1:1 ratio) that will be blindly evaluated: 1/ standard rehabilitation group and 2/ HUBER rehabilitation group. Both programs are centre-based and will last 6 weeks, with 4 sessions of 2 hours each per week.

Worksite based prolonged static sitting postures can cause musculoskeletal pain. While the development of pain increases due to the constant growth of digitalization at work, numerous interventions to reduce prolonged sitting periods have been created. The effects of such interventions have not yet been properly examined. Thus, the "DynSit-Pain" project was initiated to investigate the influence of dynamic sitting on the pain development of pain developers in office environments.

The aim of the study is to determine the impact of early rehabilitation in patients after lumbar spine surgery using microdiscectomy on balance, postural stability and foot pressure distribution. The tests will be carried out at the Physical Effort Laboratory in Gdańsk.

Low Back Pain is a common heath condition with high rates of recurrence and huge associated costs. Research has focused its efforts on analysing the effects of interventions while knowledge about effective secondary prevention strategies is limited. MyBack study aims to analyse the effectiveness of a tailored exercise and behavioural change program (MyBack program) in the secondary prevention of low back pain, and evaluate acceptability, feasibility and determinants of implementation by the different stakeholders, as well as the implementation strategy of the MyBack program, through a hybrid type I, randomized, controlled and multicentre study of effectiveness and implementation in the context of primary health care.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common symptom that can be a health problem in worldwide. Studies have shown that 70% to 80% of all people are affected at least once in their lives. Although it is common, the cause of the pain has often not been determined and is referred to as non-specific LBP. The lumbar range of motion decreases, trunk flexion is limited, postural control and muscular stiffness are affected in individuals with LBP. Recent studies have shown that people with LBP have altered nerve properties in the sciatic nerve. It was observed that the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve decreased and its stiffness increased. Peripheral nerve tissues are faced with great tension and compressive forces that occur in daily life activities and sports activities. To maintain the normal function of the nervous system, it must have the ability to resistance to tension, easy to slide in the environment it is in and withstand compressive forces. In case of not being able to resist the pressure exerted by surrounding tissues such as bone, tendon, muscle, fascia, there may be distortions in the shapes of neural structures. Neuromobilization, one of the manual therapy techniques, is used in impingement syndromes of peripheral nerves and neuropathies. Neuromobilization aims to regain the normal mechanical properties of the nerve by using limb movements, motion and position of the joint. There are two methods of neuromobilization techniques; sliding and tension. Sliding involves combinations of movements that lengthen the nerve bed in one joint and reduce the length of the nerve bed in the next joint, while tension is done by stretching both ends of the nerve bed. Neuromobilization structures the balance between the relative movements of the neural tissues and the surrounding mechanical interface, allows the reduction of internal pressure in the neural tissue, and thus optimum physiological functions are regulated. The mechanism of action of neuromobilization is thought to be to increase intraneural circulation, improve axoplasmic flow and connective tissue viscoelasticity, and reduce hypersensitive areas. Neuromobilization techniques are extensively used in clinical settings during the therapy of patients with sciatica, with favorable effects on pain and impairment. However, the mechanical implications of neuromobilization in human nerves are poorly understood. Two investigations that used SWE to measure sciatic nerve stiffness in healthy adults following prolonged slump positions came up with conflicting conclusions. It has been determined that there are different opinions on the effects of slump neuromobilizations in sciatic nerves. Considering that slump neuromobilization techniques are frequently used for therapeutic, it should be appropriate to determine their effects on the sciatic nerve.

To compare between core stability exercise and diaphragmatic release on respiratory functions on physical therapists with low back pain.

This is an independent prospective, noninterventional, single arm post market data collection of the patient-reported effectiveness, ongoing safety, and satisfaction outcomes for patients treated with intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation using the Intracept Procedure at a single study site.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects Of Directional Preference Exercises in Comparison to Motor Control Exercises in Patients With Mechanical Low Back Pain

Aim of the study It could be stated that chronification of low back pain in some respects depends on the emotional reactions to the acute pain state. This approach enables advancing novel therapeutics for preventing pain chronification by altering the pain-related affective states. At present, no publication evaluating the efficacy of IET in altering brain responses related to sub-acute low back pain seems available. Neither have we found any studies specifically addressing the efficacy of mindfulness training on the functional connection between PFC and NAc.
