Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

With the expected rise of patients with osteoporosis-induced fractures, it has become increasingly urgent to design and use specialized health education materials aimed at easing pain and improving bodily functions

Comparison of Spinal Stabilization Exercises Vs Maitland Mobilization Along with Laser Therapy in Non-Specific Low Back Ache

The primary objective of this trial is to show that PTH(1-84) is superior to alendronate in reducing back pain intensity over a 24-week treatment period in postmenopausal women with an osteoporosis related vertebral fracture(s). Secondly the objectives are to investigate any differences in patient reported outcomes between the two treatment arms over a 24-week treatment period in postmenopausal women with an osteoporosis related vertebral fracture(s).

Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent among adolescents from the general population and in general practice. Not only is LBP associated with pain and functional limitation among patients, also the socioeconomic burden of the condition is substantial worldwide. Chronic cases of LBP are not uncommon in adolescents, especially among those whose parents are suffering from chronic pain. Several individual factors influence LBP among adolescents. Especially previous episodes of LBP, low pain self-efficacy levels and worries about LBP has been identified as worsening factors in regard to pain and disability. At present there is little evidence to inform a large randomized experimental study to investigate the effect of a given treatment modality in this group of young patients. Furthermore, it remains to be investigated if individual factors, such as, pain self-efficacy levels and worries about LBP may mediate the effect of a behavioral intervention regarding pain and disability. However, the single case experimental design allows for close monitoring of the patients during a controlled treatment course. As such, the single case experimental design study can provide vital and fundamental knowledge regarding treatment effect and mediating factors in relation to an intervention aimed at improving self-management in adolescent LBP patients. This study aims to investigate the effect of an intervention to improve self-management among adolescent LBP patients assessed by pain intensity and functional disability in a single case experimental design. We further aimed to investigate if LBP related worries and pain self-efficacy would mediate the effect of the intervention. We hypothesized that the self-management intervention would lead to lower pain intensity scores and decrease disability levels on a patient level.

The main purpose of this study is to assess whether LY3857210 is safe and efficacious in relieving chronic low back pain (CLBP). This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol (H0P-MC-CPMP) which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.

The aim of this study is to determine whether the effectiveness of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique is different from passive prone lying when performed with a functional exercise in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Pain in the lower back is a major concern in today's era due to prolonged sitting in two-wheeler riders, mainly due to hamstring tightness. It also creates physical disability and impairment in activities of daily living. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of muscle energy technique (MET) and self-myofascial release (SMFR) using the foam roller on hamstring flexibility, dynamic balance, and physical disability amongst two-wheeler riders with chronic low back pain. Participants were randomized into two intervention groups, MET and SMFR, using the envelope method, with each group having 20 participants. Hamstring flexibility and range of motion for knee extension and the lower back were assessed using the active knee extension test and sit and reach test, the dynamic balance was assessed by the star excursion balance test (SEBT) and physical disability by Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, (RMDQ). Measurements were taken at baseline and after 4-week of intervention. The level of significance value was set at 95% (p <0.05).

Objectives: This double-blind, randomized, prospective, single-centre study evaluated the effectiveness of radiofrequency therapy by the SOLIO Alfa Cure Plus in the treatment of a non-specific low back pain (LBP) Methods: Thirty-seven patients completed pain, disability, and lower back flexibility scales. Randomization was obtained by having an equal amount of sham and real devices and distributing them randomly to patients out of a box where the devices were.

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) is characterized by persistent back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. This clinical trial aims to examine the short-term and long-term effects of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) with integrated Motivational Interviewing (MI) to a Manual Therapy (MT) program on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), back performance, disability, kinesiophobia, fear and avoidance, and catastrophizing in individuals suffering from NSCLBP. The study adopts a randomized, controlled, single-blind design, with a total of 60 participants randomly allocated to three groups. The first group will receive MT and PNE with MI, the second group will receive MT alone, and the control group (third group) will follow a home-based exercise program only. All interventions will last for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at three time points: pre-intervention, at 4 weeks, and at 6 months. The statistical analysis of the results will use a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements, and the statistical significance index will be set at p < 0.05.

This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Total 44 Subjects with mechanical low back pain will be assigned randomly by using non probability convenient random sampling in to two groups with 22 subjects in each group. Subjects in one group will be treated with mat Pilates training and the other group with the functional training. NPRS, Inclinometer and urdu version of Modified Oswestry Disablility questionair would be used to measure the outcome of pain, Range of Motion and Disability respectively. After data collection from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University lahore.
