Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

This randomized control trial study aims to compare the effect of core stability exercises and cognitive tasks with general exercises and cognitive tasks on pain, disability, and postural control strategies of chronic non-specific low back pain patients. The main questions are: Are core stability exercises and cognitive tasks more effective than general exercises and cognitive tasks in reducing the pain of chronic non-specific low back pain patients? Are core stability exercises and cognitive tasks more effective than general exercises and cognitive tasks in reducing the disability of chronic non-specific low back pain patients? Are core stability exercises and cognitive tasks more effective than general exercises and cognitive tasks in improving postural stability parameters of chronic non-specific low back pain patients? Are core stability exercises and cognitive tasks more effective than general exercises and cognitive tasks in improving stabilogram diffusion analysis parameters of chronic non-specific low back pain patients? This study is designed to apply two exercise protocols on two groups of 17 people with non-specific back pain. Group A will receive core stability exercises along with cognitive tasks, and group B will receive general exercises along with cognitive tasks.

The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of core strengthening and intensive dynamic back exercises on pain, muscle strength, endurance, and functional disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major public health problem. Multidisciplinary functional rehabilitation program (FRP), which give patients the skills to better manage pain and return to physical activity, are effective in the short term. In the medium and long term, due to lack of motivation, two thirds of patients stop their physical activity again, causing them to fall back into the vicious circle of pain. Investigators hypothesise that a remote assessment and motivational support program (MSP) based on an application, piloted by a care coordinator, could allow the continued improvement of symptoms and activities observed after the FRP programs, and thus limit the consequences of CLBP for the patient and society. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the motivational support program EMOTIV, on disability and pain at one year, in chronic low back pain patients who have benefited from a FRP program.

This will be a placebo controlled, randomized, double-blind, comparative effectiveness study, in which we patients are enrolled during an emergency department (ED) visit for acute radicular low back pain (LBP) and followed by telephone two and seven days later. Patients will be randomized to receive an oral dose of dexamethasone for 2 consecutive days or placebo during an ED visit for acute radicular LBP. Every patient will receive a 7 day supply of ibuprofen and a low back pain education session.

This randomized controlled pilot study will be evaluating an app, MORT-LBP app (ETH-02K), owned by EverEx, Inc., to examine safety and efficacy in individuals with chronic lower back pain.

To compare the effects of Bowen's and Graston Technique in patients of chronic low back pain for reducing pain, enhancing lumbar range of motion and physical functioning and reducing depression.

Low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent that causes significant pain and disability. Core muscles are important for LBP. One of them is gluteus maximus, but effect of power's program for this muscle and its role in LBP is lacking in literature, so this study aims to study the effect of power's program of gluteus maximus on LBP.

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most expensive cause of workrelated disability: it causes the highest number of years lived with disability. The most severe and debilitated CLBP patients often have comorbidities such as overweight and obesity. Despite the growing body of scientific literature pointing towards the close interaction between overweight/obesity and CLBP, few treatment programs for people with CLBP nowadays take overweight into account. Therefore this study will examine the added value of a behavioral weight reduction program (changes in diet, behavior and physical exercise) to current best evidence rehabilitation (pain neuroscience education plus cognition-targeted exercise therapy) for overweight or obese people with CLBP. An international, multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing a behavioral weight reduction program combined with pain neuroscience education and cognition-targeted exercise therapy versus pain neuroscience education and cognition-targeted exercise therapy alone, will be conducted. The primary outcome is pain and the primary endpoint was chosen at 12 months follow-up; secondary outcomes include health care use and daily functioning (see detailed description of outcomes for an overview of all secondary outcomes). If the promising results of the proof of concept study are corroborated, the new intervention will have a high socio-economic impact, including an annual health care cost reduction of €66 million in Switzerland, and €60 million in Flanders, and is expected to increase life expectancy in the long term.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of Mat Pilates with General Exercises in treating patients with nonspecific acute low back pain. Novelty: Pilates, typically performed with specific equipment, has shown clinically significant treatment effects in people with chronic low back pain. Recent guidelines recommend patients remain active during episodes of low back pain; however, evidence regarding the type of exercise to perform is limited. Mat Pilates is a type of Pilates exercise that does not require complex equipment. Evaluating the effectiveness of two simple exercise methods (Mat Pilates and General Exercises) can help expand intervention options for patients with acute low back pain, enabling them to choose an exercise they enjoy most.

Non-specific chronic low back pain (NS-CLBP) is defined as lumber pain persisting for longer than three months, in absence of a suspected pathology or any specific cause. A specific diagnosis of low back pain cannot be obtained in approximately 80% patients with low back pain, indicating that patients with low back pain are often diagnosed with non-specific low back pain and these are the majority of the individuals with low back pain that present to physiotherapy In other cases the cause may be a minor problem with a disc between two spinal bones (vertebrae), or a minor problem with a small facet joint between two vertebrae. There may be other minor problems in the structures and tissues of the lower back that result in pain. Objective of this study is to compare the effects McGill stabilization exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, range of motion and functional disability in chronic non-specific Low back pain.
