Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

The Purpose of the study was to examine the effect of KinesioTaping (KT) on disability, fear avoidance beliefs and pain intensity in patients with acute non-specific LBP. Materials and Methods: Seventy-eight patients were randomized to an experimental group that received traditional physical therapy plus KT and a control group that received traditional physical therapy alone. Interventions were administered twice a week for four weeks. Assessment tools used were; RMDQ for disability, FABQ for fear-avoidance beliefs and NPRS for pain intensity.

The aim of study is to determine effects of non pain contingent spine rehabilitation in chronic low back pain.A Randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Railway general hospital. Sample size will be 32.Participants will be divided in two groups, 16 participants in group A will receive Non pain contingent spine rehabilitation (NCSR) therapy and 16 Group B will receive conventional physical therapy. The study duration will be six months. Purposive non probability sampling technique will be applied.

The purpose of this research study is to see if breathing and attention training (BAT) treatments improve pain symptoms and well-being in people who have chronic low back pain (cLBP). For this breathing intervention, you will be randomly assigned to either standard or focused BAT. The standard BAT includes instructions on deep breathing and relaxation. The focused BAT is similar to the standard BAT in most ways but includes extra instructions to help you focus and alter your breathing patterns.

The study will be carried out at the Faculty of Nursing and Physiotherapy of the University of Alcalá. The study has been approved by the Animal Research and Experimentation Ethics Committee of the University of Alcalá. A total of 46 subjects of legal age with non-specific chronic low back pain will be selected and randomized into two interventions. The first group will receive lumbar posteroanterior mobilizations with the lumbar spine in extension and the second group will receive lumbar mobilizations with neutral position of the spine. Both groups will also receive a home exercise program for the lumbar spine. The total duration of the treatments will be 6 weeks, with pre-treatment, at 3 weeks of the treatment, post-treatment evaluations at 6 weeks, with a follow-up after 1 month and with a follow-up after 3 months. The objective will be to evaluate which of the two interventions is more effective in addressing disability variables (main variable), pressure pain threshold, pain location, pain intensity, quality of life, quality of sleep, depression and kinesiophobia.

The technique of Pilates exercises on a mat has proven to be effective and practically applicable to patients with chronic back pain. However, its application in women over 65 years has not been adequately studied. Objective: This assessor-blind randomized clinical trial aims to study the effect of a mat Pilates exercise program on pain and functional ability of elderly women with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Methods: 60 elderly women with chronic nonspecific low back pain (duration of symptoms more than 12 weeks) are expected to participate in this study. Participants will be divided into two groups of 30 people each; one being intervention and one control. The intervention group will follow a custom mat Pilates program (twice per week) for 10 weeks, while the control group will not follow any treatment. Pain, functionality, balance, the number of painkillers administered, and adherence to exercise will be assessed at the beginning and end of the study and will be re-examined six months later.

A tape is applied over the lumbar 4th and lumbar 5th levels crosswise in people with low back pain. The possible variation of the arterial flow of the femoral artery is measured with ultrasound. A kinesiology tape was used as placebo tape and Magnetic Tape was used as experimental randomly.

One in five people in the general adult population suffer from chronic pain, a figure that is higher than heart disease, cancer, and diabetes combined. A majority of these patients is suffering from chronic back pain. Conventional treatment options offer only a partial response, with many people continuing to suffer severe chronic pain, despite receiving several treatments. Non-pharmacological treatments by neuromodulation represent a promising treatment modality for these patients. For instance, spinal cord stimulation blocks pain signals travelling to the brain, but requires implantation near the spine with significant clinical risks. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is another neuromodulation modality proposed to alleviate chronic pain. Conventional VNS devices are implanted under the skin on the chest and the electrodes are wired to the left vagus nerve in the neck. However, aside from implantation risks, VNS is often associated with side effects such as swallowing difficulties, due to unwanted stimulation of motoric vagus nerve branches in the neck. Percutaneous auricular VNS (pVNS) is an emerging technology for stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve in the pinna of the ear. Specific electrical impulses are applied via three miniature needle electrodes located in the auricle near sensory vagus nerve fibers. Scientific data show that pVNS modulates brain circuits involved in autonomic control and pain processing. pVNS has shown positive effects in chronic low-back pain patients, in a sustainable way with a low side-effect profile. However, the optimal settings of stimulation with regards to personalization remain to be elucidated. The present prospective, open, randomized, controlled pilot study aims at evaluating the performance of pVNS treatment, using a small wearable stimulation device (AuriMod CT01), comparing personalized and non-personalized stimulation paradigms in patients with chronic low-back pain. Patients will be randomized in one of the following treatment groups (1) Group A: Stimulation with personalized stimulation parameters and amplitude, (2) Group B: Stimulation with personalized stimulation amplitude, (3) Group C: Stimulation without personalization (comparator group). Patients will be treated for 8 weeks. Patients will receive standardized pain medication including rescue medication in parallel. An additional follow-up period of 12 weeks allows to evaluate sustainable and late-time effects of treatment. Patients will use a therapy management system to monitor outcome.

The purpose of this study is to find the effects of ELDOA in increasing hamstring length in patients with nonspecific low back pain.This research will bring awareness about the concept of ELDOA exercises among clinicians and people to understand its benefits for treating back pain issues. Further, it will provide an important addition to the evidence-based treatment intervention of ELDOA

The aim of this study is to compare the immediate effect of mulligan's two leg rotation and bent leg raise for hamstring tightness, core muscle weakness in chronic low back pain, lumbar Range of motion. A randomized control trial is being conducted at Women Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences Abbottabad. It consisted of 68 participants with moderate chronic low back pain 4-6 on VAS scale, weak back extensors, and abdominal muscle weakness .and hamstring tightness. 34 patients in Group A is receiving moist heat for the hamstrings muscles prior the Mulligan Two leg rotation technique for 10mins .core muscle strenthening exercises for back extensors and abdominals. 34 patients in Group B is receiving moist heat for the hamstrings muscles prior the Mulligan Bent leg raise technique for 10 minutes.Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique being applied is purposive.Study includes patients with mechanical LBP more than 3 months.Tools being used in the study are Goniometer, Measuring tape, Pressure Biofeedback Unit, Visual analogue scale (VAS), Mulligan's belt. Data is being analyzed through SPSS 21.

This study evaluates the treatment of hamstrings in the management of patients with mechanical low back pain of non-specific origin. Half of the participants will received the application of a dry needle technique in the most hyperalgesic areas of the muscle, while the other half will received the same technique in areas not hyperalgesic.
