Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

The purpose of this study was to block the posterior branch of lumbar spinal nerve during PKP operation and compare it with the patients without spinal nerve block, so as to verify the effect of posterior branch block of spinal nerve in relieving short-term and long-term residual low back pain after operation.

Ongoing fear and catastrophization in people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) causes increased pain, disability and kinesiophobia, and decreased endurance of trunk muscles. Nowadays, recurrent low back pain complaints are increasing day by day. Besides the use of electrophysical agents and exercise in the treatment of chronic low back pain, education methods used to reduce the negative effects of psychosocial factors are important for healing. Although there were studies about the combination of Therapeutic Neuroscience Education (TNE) with exercise in CLBP, there are no studies that combine electrophysical agents, exercise and TNE methods in the literature. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate whether TNE combined with physiotherapy consisting of electrophysical modalities and home program exercise is superior to only physiotherapy in patients with CLBP.

This study is a double blinded randomized active placebo controlled trial in subjects with chronic low back pain. The trial compares pain relief by a device that delivered high level pulsed heat (45 °C) to pain relief delivered by a steady heat lower temperature device (37 °C). The hypothesis is that the high temperature pulsed heat device will produce significantly better pain relief as compared to the lower level steady heat device. The secondary hypothesis is that pain relief will occur faster in the high pulsed heat device as compared to the control device.

Low back pain is a very common problem that causes pain, disability, gait and balance problems. Neurodynamic techniques is used for treatment of low back pain. The aim of the study is comparing the effects of electrotherapy and neural mobilization techniques on pain, functionality, gait and balance.

This study will look at the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education on a Depression outcome tool in patients with chronic low back pain.

The aim of this study is to characterize the distribution of pain phenotypes in people with chronic low back pain and to determine the effects of pain phenotypes on pain severity, functional status and quality of life. Participants will be examined to determine the type of pain and questions will be asked to identify the effects.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of education to keep the abdomen relaxed versus contracted during Pilates exercises in patients with primary chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomised into two groups that will be treated with Pilates exercises for 12 weeks. The control group will receive guidance on the specific activation of the center of strength (the powerhouse), while the experimental group will receive guidance to perform the exercises in a relaxed and smooth way. Primary outcomes will be pain intensity and disability 12 weeks post randomisation.

This study uses clinical trial and implementation science methodology to specifically assess the effectiveness of yoga into the management of chronic low back pain (cLBP) within the Cleveland Clinic Employee Health Plan. The study will use a type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation design, which tests a clinical intervention while collecting data on implementation. Studying and implementing evidence-based, non-pharmacologic interventions is an important strategy for improving pain management and reducing opioid use disorder.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the effects of vertical sitting versus supine lying traction on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic radicular low back pain (CRLBP). CRLBP is one of the major types of lower back pain and causes significant disability and reduction in quality of life in the human population. The study will be a randomized controlled trial and the study setting will be Al-Barkat Hospital Gojra . A total of 30 participants will be selected randomly employing a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Two experimental groups will be made. Group A will be given vertical traction in a sitting position and Group B will be given traction in supine lying. Both groups will receive baseline physiotherapy treatment which includes Hot-pack, TENS, and ultrasound. The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be used as outcome-measuring tools for pain intensity and functional disability respectively. An inclinometer will be used to measure ROM. Measures will be taken at (0, 4th, 8th, and 12th week). Data will be analyzed by using parametric/non-parametric tests after assessing the normality.

The study aims to investigate whether notifying health insurance members about an upcoming call can increase their pick-up rates. The study will randomize participants into three groups: control group (no message), treatment group 1 (message variation 1), and treatment group 2 (message variation 2). The primary outcome of interest is the call pick-up rate, and the study will also examine the message opt-out rates for the two different messages.
