Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

This is a non-randomised, single arm, open-label study of medical cannabis, Cybis™ 10:25, in participants with chronic back or neck pain in which participants receive escalating doses of Cybis™ 10:25.

Our study aims to compare the therapeutic effects of different taping materials and techniques on pain, functionality, and tissue temperature in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is widely used for chronic pain. Recent studies showed frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) resonant therapy was safe and effective in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. However, there was no prospective, double-blinded randomized controlled trial to validate the clinical applicability. The goal of this trial is to verify safety and efficacy of FSM using a TENS device, Dragon Waves Resonant Home Care Electronic Nerve Stimulator-DW1330,(Taiwan Resonant Waves Research Co, Taiwan R.O.C), in 60 patients with non-specific low back pain.

Whole body vibration (WBV), which is a new treatment method and applied through the device, is defined as mechanical repetitive motion or oscillatory motion occurring around a balance point (5). Chronic nonspecific low back pain is still a serious clinical, social and economic health problem. There are few studies and limited evidence evaluating the effectiveness of WBV exercises in chronic nonspecific low back pain. Different protocols are used for wbv exercise in studies (6). Our aim is to compare the effects of whole body vibration exercise modality on pain, functional recovery, laboor impact, quality of life with control group in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Non-specific low back pain is one of the main causes of disability for health care worldwide. The effectiveness of therapeutic exercise, of kinesio tape and of manual therapy in the treatment of low back pain is evaluated, but not a comparison of these techniques. Moreover, can these techniques be combined?

The purpose of this study is; to compare the effects of interferential current therapy (IF) applied in addition to conventional physical therapy on pain, functional status and quality of life compared to pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) in patients with chronic low back pain.

Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a musculoskeletal syndrome whose main characteristic is the pain, which is focalized in the lumbar area of the spine, which cannot be attributed to a known cause (traumatism, systemic diseases, nerve root compression, etc). The treatment includes massage and rehabilitation techniques. Here the investigators want to test whether a robot (ADAMO) may help in improving current physiotherapy exercises in reducing back pain. NSLBP patients will be randomly assigned to two arms (robot versus control) and they will receive 10 massage sessions. Pain evaluation will be performed with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). The ODI will be performed by an independent physician blind to the treatment.

This study evaluated the feasibility of an 8-week physical therapy program for persons with chronic low back pain provided entirely using telehealth with real-time, interactive video sessions with a physical therapist.

The effectiveness of dry needling of the Gluteus Medius muscle in combination with active exercises will be examined compared with sham needling with active exercises in low back pain (LBP) patients.

Non-specific low back pain is the most cause of adult disability throughout life. Its prevalence widens in young adults. Background of this pathology can be multifactorial. One of the most common is poor core stability and overloading of the local tissues as a result. Among treatment methods stabilizing training is commonly used with good effects. This form of therapy affects the transverse abdomen and multifidus muscles. To assess these structures several methods can be applied, e.g. sonofeedback. Our hypothesis claims that the core muscles morphology will change over the training process duration, in result, the analgesic effect will be achieved.
