The Immediate Effect Of Shockwave Therapy On the Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Muscle Trigger Points vs...
Low Back PainMechanicalthe study aims to compare the effect of regular back exercises with shockwave therapy by treating male patients with non-specific low back pain between the age of (20-40). Who will be devided into 3 groups, and will be treated by shockwave therapy , exercises or both combined. After signing a consent form, patients will be assigned to the groups blindly, so the patients will not know if they are in the experimental or control group. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of this study states that: o Research hypothesis: there will be a significant difference between the radial ESWT and back exercises in reducing LBP
Treatment of Chronic Back Pain With Focused Vibroacoustic Stimulation
Back PainChronic back and neck pain is the most common chronic condition worldwide. Unfortunately, the current available treatment options are limited and largely unsuccessful, which is considered as one of the primary drivers for the high cost of back pain management. Systematic reviews show that the results of common treatments including pain medications, surgery, exercise and psychological therapies for back pain demonstrate inconsistent results and moderate improvement. Therefore, non-invasive adjunct therapies can be a useful addition to traditional back pain management. Focused vibroacoustic treatment for back and neck pain is a non-invasive procedure that applies low frequency sound waves to the spine (50Hz-110Hz), and has shown consistent and positive results in early clinical and animal studies. The goal of this project is to test vibroacoustic sound waves delivered to the spine in a double blind randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the efficacy of focused vibroacoustics in treating chronic back pain. Participants with back pain will be recruited and divided into a treatment and placebo group and will undergo treatment at a clinic over a one month period. Outcome measures will be collected before and after the intervention period. Placebo participants will be offered the full treatment without charge after the experiment is over.

Selection of Chronic Low Back Pain Patients for Neurotomy Surgery Radiofrequency
Pain;Back Low;ChronicChronic low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability associated with significant health care costs. One possible management of chronic low back pain of facet origin is neurotomy-radiofrequency (NT-RF) intervention. Currently, to determine whether a patient is eligible for NT-RF, two positive block tests are required. Clinical examination with a homolateral extension-rotation-tilt maneuver of the spine (ERI maneuver) would have the potential to identify subjects with pain of facet origin. It could therefore be a simple and effective diagnostic tool in the evaluation of a patient with low back pain and help in the decision whether or not to perform a test block by local infiltration of the zygapophyseal joint prior to an NT-RF procedure. The purpose of this longitudinal, prospective, observational, single-center study is to evaluate the performance of the combined extension-rotation-lateral tilt maneuver (ERI maneuver) in predicting the response to neurotomy-radiofrequency intervention in patients with chronic low back pain. The included patients will answer 5 questionnaires, in addition to the usual clinical data: Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD) questionnaire, Quality of life questionnaire EQ-5D-5L, Brief Pain Inventory - French version: Questionnaire Concis de la Douleur (QCD), Functional Impotence Scale for Low Back Pain: The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C)

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Associated With Pilates in Low Back Pain
Low Back PainTranscranial Direct Current StimulationThis is a randomized and blind clinical trial, whose objective is to evaluate the effects of transcranial stimulation by direct current associated with exercises based on the pilates method on the performance of patients with chronic low back pain.
Effect of Shockwave Therapy on Post-laminectomy Fibrosis Low Back Pain Patients.
Post-laminectomy SyndromeThe aim of this study is clinical trial to investigate the effect of Radial Extracorporeal Shock wave therapy in patients with sciatica and low back pain caused by post laminectomy scarring. the study will answer the following question: 1. what is the effect of Shock Wave Therapy on low back pain and sciatica caused by post-laminectomy fibrosis? patients in the study group will receive radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy and conventional physical therapy program (TENS, electric heating packs, and McKenzie back exercises).
The Association Between Urinary Incontinence, Physical Performance, Physical Activity Levels in...
Low Back PainPhysical Inactivity1 moreThe study is searching for the correlation between low back pain(LBP), physical performance, urinary incontinence and physical activity levels in women. Lower physical performance, more frequent urinary incontinence and less physical activity are expected in women who have LBP.
Inflammatory Back Pain and Gluten Free Diet
Inflammatory Back PainArticular involvement is the most frequent extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). IBD-related spondyloarthropathy is mainly characterised by axial involvement (including inflammatory back pain, isolated sacroiliitis and ankylosing spondylitis) but may also be associated with peripheral symptoms (i.e peripheral arthritis, dactylitis and enthesopathy, such as Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and chest wall pain). In particular, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is characterised by an insidious onset, improves after exercise but not with rest, and is associated with morning stiffness. Up to now, several criteria sets have been proposed to define IBP. Studies conducted in various populations have confirmed a high sensitivity and specificity for the Berlin criteria. Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune systemic disease having among its clinical manifestations frequent symptoms common to rheumatologic diseases. Recently, it has been reported that a consistent percentage of the general population consider themselves to be suffering from problems caused by wheat and/or gluten ingestion, even though they do not have CD or wheat allergy. This clinical condition has been named Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity' (NCGS) or Non-celic Wheat Sensitivity (NCWS). The clinical picture of NCWS is characterized by combined gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal or systemic manifestations. Many patients affected with CD and NCWS complain of IBP-like symptoms, which generally improve, together with the other clinical manifestations of the diseases, during a gluten-free diet (GFD). Therefore, the aims of the present study are to investigate 1) the effect of a GFD in IBP patients, randomly assigned to receive standard therapy for IBP or standard therapy for IBP plus GFD, for a period of at least one year, and 2) the prevalence of IBP in CD and in NCWS patients.
Workplace Exercise and Pain Education Intervention in Office Workers
Back PainSedentary BehaviorThe goal of this Clinical trial is to compare treatments in sedentary administrative personnel with back pain. The main question it aims to answer: The benefits of a workplace intervention with therapeutic exercise and pain education compared with only therapeutic exercise intervention Participants will perform active pauses in their workplace with a web-based program that consists of videos or images of exercises and pain education information. Researchers will compare a group Therapeutic exercise and pain education intervention with a group therapeutic exercise only to see if pain education plus exercise is a more beneficial intervention in reducing back pain in symptomatic administrative personnel.
