Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

This study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in Civil Hospital, Hassan Abdal. A sample size of 32 patients will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups by lottery method. Group A will be treated with hot pack followed by Manual Lymphatic Drainage while Group B will be given home based plan of hot pack application only. Both groups will receive treatment for 4 weeks,2 sessions per week. The outcome measures Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS), QOL-GRAV and Oswestry Disability Index for back. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 21.

The study is a post-market surveillance study of the Lumbar Implant for Stiffness Augmentation (LISA), a medical device, which is used to treat low-back pain that accompanies degenerative lesions of grades II, III, and IV (Pfirrmann MRI classification). "Post-market" means the device (i.e. the LISA implant) being used in this study has already obtained CE certification and is commercially available for use in the European market. The LISA device consists of 3 components: A PEEK interspinous spacer, a polyester band, and a titanium blocker. The spacer is positioned between two adjacent spinous processes, the band is belted around the spinous processes and through the spacer, and the blocker is used to lock the band inside the spacer. Medical Device manufacturers conduct "post-market" clinical studies in order to continuously evaluate the product scientifically and to comply with legal and ethical obligations. With these studies, the long-term safety as well as performance of their medical devices are assessed. This study, which is initiated and sponsored by BACKBONE (LISA designer, developer, manufacturer and marketer), aims to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the LISA implant for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease and to evaluate the treatment.

The 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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method, performed online, in individuals with chronic low back pain. This is a randomized controlled trial consisting of two arms.

Chronic 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)

This study is aimed to carry out the Turkish version validity and reliability of the Low Back Activity Confidence Scale.

This 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.

The 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.

Articular 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.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a wearable back exosuit can make it safer and easier for workers who bend, lift, and lower objects in an industrial setting. Many studies have shown that wearable back exoskeletons or exosuits can provide helpful forces making a person's back muscles work less. It is believed that exosuits can lower a person's level of workplace effort and fatigue, making it less likely for them to have back pain at work. Back exosuits could be a solution to make a job easier, but how well they work in the real-world over a long period of time is unclear. The investigators want to know if workers who wear a back exosuit during the workday will have lower rates of lower back pain or injury than those who are not wearing a back exosuit. The investigators also want to know how well exosuit technology integrates into the workplace (for example, how this technology improves or hinders job performance). Participants will be randomized into an exosuit group or control group. Participants in the exosuit group will be given a back exosuit that they can use as much as they want at work. All participants will complete surveys monthly. Researchers will compare the exosuit group to the control group to see if using a back exosuit in a workplace can reduce a person's risk and impact of low back injury or pain. The investigators also want to see if a back exosuit impacts job productivity and if participants find the exosuit becomes useful or bothersome over time.
