Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Low back pain is an extremely common health problem that most people suffers at any point in their life. Low back pain is the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world and it causes some economic problems for just not only individuals but also governments. ) The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of different physical therapy techniques on pain, function and core stability in patients with low back pain.

To verify the efficacy of transpubic symphysis reset therapy for low back pain, and provide support for the clinical application of this treatment.

The relevance of this study is given by the feasibility to assess the effect of an intervention program based on the functionality and trunk neuromuscular activity and postural control in pregnant women with low back pain. The main outcomes will be computed by electromyography measurement so that to assess the trunk neuromuscular activation pattern as well as by force platform parameters for determining of postural control. Clinical symptoms such as pain intensity, perception of disability and fear and avoidance will also be computed. This is the first study to compare two intervention methods using the main biological outcomes related to trunk segment function.

The objective of this Investigator Initiated study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ThermaCare HeatWraps in improving flexibility and low back muscle relaxation, and in participants experiencing pain, reducing pain during movement. This study is an intervention trial on two discrete subject samples; (1) people with recent back pain, and (2) people who regularly play sport. ViMove wearable sensors provide precise objective measurements of low back muscle activity and movement in real time and can capture a patient's reporting of pain during movement. Outcomes will be assessed through standard ViMove protocols in conjunction with multiple validated measures of pain, perception of change, and function.

Background: Low back pain is a major problem for public health that affects about 60-85% of the population at some point in life. Approximately 10-40% of individuals with low back pain develop the chronic form. International guidelines consider three groups of treatment options for low back pain: medication, invasive and conservative treatments in which conservative approach is the most recommended. The European Guidelines for Management of Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain recommends that supervised exercise programs should be used as front-line treatment for chronic low back pain, such as stabilization exercises, conventional stretching and other active exercise, but there is no consensus on literature on the most effective form of treatment. However, there is limited evidence about the effects of a global stretching intervention using self-stretching postures for chronic low back pain. Objectives: The aim of this research is to compare the effects of an active global stretching program (GSP) using self-management of posture versus stabilization exercises on pain intensity and disability for patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled three arm clinical trial with examiner blinding. A sample of 100 patients with chronic non-specific low back pain will be randomly assigned to two treatment groups (GSP or Stabilization Exercises). The eligibility criteria will be 18 and 50 years, pain in the last three months and/or pain in at least half of the days in the past six months, pain located between T12 and the gluteal folds, pain intensity greater than or equal to three, and score greater than 14% on Oswestry Disability Index. Patients will be assessed in baseline, immediately after treatment and after one and three-months follow-up. Sessions will be provided weekly for eight weeks by a single therapist lasting 40 minutes. The primary outcomes will be pain intensity and low back pain related disability and the secondary outcomes will be fear avoidance, global perceived effect of treatment and muscle flexibility. All statistical analysis will be conducted following principles of intention to treat, and the treatment effects will be calculated using linear mixed models.

The purpose of this project is to determine the effect of a multimodal non-pharmacological Pain Relief Kit on the pain, functioning, patient satisfaction, and opioid consumption of individuals suffering from an acute pain episode of chronic neck and/or low back pain over a 3-week duration.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of microdosing BurstDR stimulation in spinal cord stimulation (SCS) patients with chronic intractable back and/or leg pain.

This study will investigate if Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is beneficial for patients presenting with back pain.

There is evidence, of a single randomized controlled trial, that CFT is better than combined manual therapy and motor control exercise for chronic low back pain. However, this study had significant methodological shortcomings regarding the failure to carry out the intention to treat analysis and a considerable loss of follow-up of patients. It is important to replicate this study through a randomized clinical trial with similar objectives in another domain, but correcting these methodological shortcomings. Therefore, the aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of Cognitive Functional Therapy in patients with chronic non specific low back pain.

Single arm pilot study to evaluate the safety and initial feasibility of the Neurolyser XR, a new portable high intensity focused ultrasound device, for noninvasive thermal ablation of medial nerve branches of painful lumbar facet joint/s
