Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of bilateral and simultaneous diaphragm visual biofeedback reeducation by ultrasonography in conjunction with high-intensity inspiratory muscle training versus isolated high-intensity inspiratory muscle training in patients with low back pain. Methods: A single blinded randomized clinical trial will be carried out. A total sample of 96 patients with low back pain will be recruited and randomized into 2 groups: one group will be treated by isolated high-intensity inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks, and another group will be treated with bilateral and simultaneous diaphragm visual biofeedback reeducation by ultrasonography during 6 weeks in conjunction with high-intensity inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks. Outcome measurements will be diaphragm muscle thickness evaluated by ultrasonography (main outcome measurement), pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, disability, quality of life and respiratory parameters by spirometry, which will be assessed before and after intervention.

Identification of the long term effects of exercises in individuals with low back pain.

For decades, chronic low back pain has been one of the major health complaints in Hong Kong. Without proper management, low back pain is associated with functional disability and decreased quality of life. However, currently, there is still no "gold standard" treatment for cure of the problem.

Single arm pilot study to evaluate the safety and initial feasibility of the Neurolyser XR, a high intensity focused ultrasound device, for non-invasive treatment of axial chronic low back pain

Determine the efficacy of lumbar medial branch neurotomy by radiofrequency and cryoablation in patients with chronic low back pain

This is a single-center, randomized, pilot study in adult subjects with facet mediated CLBP. Thirty (30) subjects are planned for initial enrollment and will be randomized 1:1 to receive ioveraº medial branch cryoneurolysis or radiofrequency ablation.

This is a phase IIb, prospective, multi-country, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to investigate the efficacy, safety and transformation of NP following single intradiscal injection of STA363 (lactic acid) into one or two IVDs compared to placebo for the treatment of discogenic low back pain. This study will be conducted in Russia, Spain and the Netherlands.

Background An increasing number of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) undergo lumbar spinal fusion (LSF). Unfortunately, a substantial part of the patients still has persistent pain, functional disability and poor quality of life after surgery. Research in the field of rehabilitation after LSF call for high quality research to focus on active approaches which incorporate an early bio-psycho-social focus. A focus which include the patient's context, experiences and thoughts even more in the clinical decision making. The primary objective of this trial is to examine the effect of an early active rehabilitation-intervention consisting of Graded Activity and Pain Education (GAPE) on sedentary behavior in a population of patients undergoing LSF. The secondary objectives are to examine the effect of GAPE on disability, pain, fear of move-ment, self-efficacy for exercise and health related quality of life. Methods: The study is a randomized controlled trial planned to include 144 patients after LSF caused by degeneration of the lumbar spine (including spondylolisthesis). The patients will be randomly assigned to receive either usual care or usual care plus GAPE. GAPE consists of 9 individual sessions, with an overall purpose to influence the patient beliefs and thoughts about movement and pain towards increased self-efficacy for exercise and decreased fear of movement. A physiotherapist will in close collaboration with the patient plan GAPE based on an in-depth pain-anamnesis, individually set functional goals and observations of the patients in their homes. The primary outcome will be "reduction in sedentary behavior" measured by an accelerometer. Sec-ondary outcome will include disability, pain, fear of movement, self-efficacy for exercise and quality of life. Data will be collected at baseline (pre-surgery), and at 3, 6- and 12-months post-surgery.

Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living. As of 2017 it remains the leading cause of years lived with disability.Various management strategies are used for the treatment of low back pain. In the recent years neurodynamic techniques are being used for the treatment of low back pain. Escpecially, patients of low back pain who have neural mechanosensitivity may benefit from neural mobilization techniques. Slump stretching is a neurodynamic technqiue which is used to improve the mobility of dural tissue.Different studies have shown postive results of slump stretching in patients of low back pain. However no such study has investigated the role of slump stretching in improving range of motiion in low back pain patients.So this study aims to investigate the the effect of slump stretching in low back pain patients specially on low back Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living.
