Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Axiom Worldwide DRX9000 Axial Decompression System for Treatment...
Low Back PainThis study will document efficacy and safety of the Axiom Worldwide DRX9000™ for treatment of low back pain (LBP) in a prospective, randomized, crossover, multicenter trial utilizing a standardized clinical research multimodal protocol. During the first two weeks subjects are randomized to receive either conservative care or DRX treatment first and then cross over to receive either conservative care or DRX treatment the next 6 weeks. This study will test the hypothesis that standardized 6-week treatment regimen of spinal decompression using DRX9000™ will reduce chronic lower back pain more than conservative therapy (current baseline therapy).
Treatment of Low Back Pain in Patients With End-stage Renal Disease on Hemodialysis
Chronic Low Back PainThe purpose of this study is to determine whether a physiotherapeutic intervention is effective in the treatment of low back pain in hemodialysis patients
Analgesic Efficacy of Intravenous Lidocaine for Postoperative Pain Following Adult Spine Surgery...
Back PainThe purpose of this study is to generate further insight into the role and effectiveness of the amide local anesthetic lidocaine as an adjuvant postoperative analgesic after adult spine surgery. The effect of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on postoperative rehabilitation and the inflammatory response will also be examined.
Cipralex in Treatment of Depressive Symptoms and Chronic Back Pain
Low Back PainDepressionChronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most frequent forms of chronic pain and can result in significant functional impairment. This is often associated with major depression too. Previous research reported significant beneficial effects of antidepressant medication in alleviating depression and pain intensity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Escitalopram, a new kind of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) in patients with CLBP in a prospective, randomized and double-blind clinical trial. The main hypothesis is: -in comparison to placebo, subjects with CLBP and Cipralex report a significant reduction in depressive symptoms (>= 50% of HAMD questionnaire) after 4 weeks of treatment.
The Association Between Conditioned Pain Modulation and Pain Catastrophizing in Chronic Low Back...
Catastrophizing PainPain2 moreThis study evaluates the potential association between pain catastrophizing thoughts and the ability to dampen pain via endogenous descending inhibition. Half of the participants are persons with chronic low back pain and the other half are age and gender-matched controls
Intraosseous Basivertebral Nerve Ablation for the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain
Chronic Low Back PainObjective of study is to evaluate the procedural success rate, clinical effectiveness, and heath-economic profile using the Intercept Intraosseous Nerve Ablation System in adult subjects with chronic low back pain in the post-market setting
Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of SPARC1401 in Acute Low Back Pain
Acute Muscle PainA phase 2 randomized clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of SPARC1401 at three dose levels in patients with acute low back pain
Reframe Your Pain: A Feasibility and Acceptability Study
Low Back PainThe study will follow guidelines provided by the ORBIT model for developing behavioural treatments. This model proposes that to optimize an intervention's effectiveness, its development should be undertaken in four phases. Phase 1 (design) and 2a (proof of concept) were completed during the applicant's PhD. The study will complete phase 2b (pilot-feasibility study) of the model with the aim to determine pre-defined feasibility outcomes to inform future progression to phase 3 (efficacy trial) and 4 (effectiveness trials).
Effects of Magnetic Tape on Autonomic Nervous System in Patients With Low Back Pain
Low Back PainThe tape will be applied on the lumbar area bilateralemten to the spine without creating any tension. Possible variation in the autonomic nervous system is assessed in the reaction of the pupils. A kinesiology tape was used as a placebo tape and the magnetic tape was used in a randomized experimental way.
