Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

This study evaluates the ability of the transverse abdominis (TrA) to contract during and after two different types of exercise - either sling based exercise or traditional core stability exercise. The TrA is measured by real time ultrasound imaging. The investigators hypothesized that the sling based exercise would activate the TrA to a greater degree and that there would be a greater activation after the exercise.

The Global Postural Re-Education is a global approach for the treatment of musculoskeletal disease. Using specific progressive posture for stretching particular shortened chain muscle the method wants to equilibrate the never-ending war between static and dynamic muscles by guiding the patient in a particular breathing pattern to maintain a correct posture and feeling it.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether different types of antidepressant medicines relieve back pain that has lasted at least six months on a daily basis. Study participants will be assigned to treatment with either a antidepressant acting on the serotonin system in the brain (fluoxetine), one acting on the noradrenaline system (desipramine, or to a control medication not expected to relieve pain (benztropine). Each participant will be seen at least nine times during their 12 weeks on medication. This is a phase 2/3, outpatient study.

Single blind randomized control trail in which two groups were formed. Group A was given Muscle energy technique and Group B was given muscle energy technique in combination with Interferential therapy.

This study evaluates the use of a health-related quality of life report based on the SPADE cluster (sleep disturbance, pain interference with activities, anxiety, depression, and low energy/fatigue) derived from the PROMIS-29 instrument in patients with chronic low back pain. Half of the participants will receive the report, while the other half will not.

This is a pilot feasibility study investigating prenatal yoga for pregnancy related back pain.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Muscle Energy Technique in female patients with mechanical low back pain. Methods: A total of 40 female participants aged 30-45 were randomly divided into two groups (Study Group and Control Group). Control group participants were under 10 sessions conventional physical therapy and rehabilitation (TENS, US, hot pack) and performed standard home exercises. Study Group participants were under 8 sessions muscle energy technique in addition to conventional physical therapy and standard home exercises. Pain (Visual Analog Scale-VAS), spinal mobility (Modify Schober Test-MST), flexibility (Fingertip Floor Distance-FFD, Right and Left Lateral Flexion Floor Distance-LFFD), quality of life (Nottingham Health Profile-NHP), disability (Oswestry Disability Index-ODI), kinesiofobia (Tampa Kinesiofobia Scale-TKS) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-BDI) were measured at baseline, after the treatment and 3th months.

Lumbopelvic pain represents one of the leading causes of disability and pain in the world population. It is estimated that 84% of the world's population will suffer from lumbar pelvic pain in their lifetime. This high prevalence causes it to be classified as a public health problem. Traditional primary care measures have failed to reduce the prevalence, recurrences and costs of this pathology. In the search for treatments focused on reducing public spending, the concept of tele-rehabilitation appears. It is a tool, via telematics, that provides knowledge on rehabilitation and education in neurobiology of pain, demonstrated in cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. It has been suggested that the use of this instrument could help improve the patient's quality of life at the biopsychosocial level.

The project aims to idealize a pelvic suspension device as an auxiliary physiotherapeutic resource for patients with reduced mobility and functional capacity, which should favor autonomous and independent performance in personal, social and work tasks of the target population. This is a controlled clinical trial study. The research sample will be composed of patients of both sexes, aged 21 to 65 years, diagnosed with low back pain, referred to UEAFTO/UEPA, through the SUS care network. The research participants will be evaluated by posture, active mobility and muscle strength of the spine, evaluation of pain intensity and functional capacity. A device will be built with the function of keeping the user in position of pelvic suspension promoting lumbar traction that will consist of a structure of pvc pipes and connections and padded material. Participants will be submitted to 10 sessions of use of the device, after which they will be reevaluated through the same procedures. The information collected will be analyzed through the Graphpad prism software. To compare measured values, the Shapiro-Wilk test will be used for normality distribution. Student's t-tests will be used for the treatment of variables with normal distribution, and Fisher's and Mann-Whitney's exact tests for variables without normal distribution. It is expected to collaborate in the social integration, labor and quality of life of people affected by low back pain, as well as to promote the development of low-cost technologies in the routine of Physiotherapy and public health in the State of Pará.

This study proves the specificity of manual therapy in unspecified an subacute low back pain
