Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

In this study the investigators aim to examine the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) on hippocampal network connectivity and pain levels in individuals with chronic low back pain.

Researchers at the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute are looking for volunteers to participate in a research study to evaluate what effects Float-REST (Restricted environmental Stimulation Technique) has on the stress response caused by chronic lower back pain.

This randomized controlled study was conducted to determine the effect of massage with frankincense and myrrh oil in treating chronic low back pain. A total of 91 individuals over the age of 18 who agreed to participate in the study, who had no verbal communication problems, and who had complaints of low back pain for at least the past three months were included in the study. In this research, 3x2 (experiment, control and plasebo group x pre-test post-test) split plot design was used The data were collected using the data sheet, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Aberdeen Low Back Pain Scale (ALBPS) and Roland-Morris Disability Scale (RMDS). Standard treatment was applied to all three groups for three weeks, every weekday. In addition to the standard treatment, 2 sessions of waist massage per week were applied to the aromatherapy Group with frankincense and myyrh essential oil and to the Placebo Group with jojoba fixed oil in accordance with the aromatherapy protocol. Massage was not applied to the control group. In the results of working, the decrease in RMDS (p <0.001), ALBPS (p <0.001) and VAS (p <0.001) scores of the aromatherapy group was found to be statistically higher than the other two groups. As a result, aromatherapy massage with Fankincense and Myyrh essential oil can be added to traditional treatments as an easy-to-apply complementary health application with no significant side effects to relieve pain and reduce disability in an individual's daily life in chronic low back pain patient care.

Although pregnancy is a natural process, it is a period in which some bio-physiological changes are experienced. These changes cause low back pain by affecting the musculoskeletal system as well as the endocrine, cardiovascular and renal systems. Pregnancy-related low back pain is defined as recurrent pain in the lumbopelvic region lasting more than one week. It can manifest itself in pregnancy as low back pain, lumbar pain, pelvic pain and lumbopelvic pain where both are present. In order to cope with low back pain in pregnancy and to increase the quality of life, low back pain should be evaluated in antenatal and postnatal follow-ups. Risk factors should be examined, women in the risk group should be identified, their low back pain experience should be questioned, prevention and coping strategies and the effect of low back pain on their quality of life should be evaluated. Healthy lifestyle programs should be developed to help prevent low back pain and develop coping strategies for pregnant women with low back pain.

The goal of this Randomized controlled trial was to examine effects of 8-weeks strength training program on strength, power and agility in traceurs. The main question it aims to answer is: • To determine the effects of 8-weeks strength training program in traceurs. Participants were a given consent form and after subjects read and sign the informed consent, they were included in study according to eligibility criteria. 2 groups were included in study, Strength Group with parkour routine training was applied on group A and the control group, group B was provided with parkour routine training. Outcome was measured through different outcome measure tools.

There is marked uncertainty regarding the feasibility of achieving adequate blinding in randomized controlled trials of manual therapy. In other words, whether participants and outcome assessors can accurately perceive randomly assigned interventions is unclear. This feasibility trial was conducted as part of a doctoral epidemiology course at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Within the practice-based context of the class and using a study population of healthy graduate students enrolled in the course, the investigators aimed to evaluate blinding of participants randomly assigned (similar to tossing a coin) to one of two manual therapy interventions (active versus control). The investigators also aimed to assess blinding among outcome assessors.

The effect of magnetic tape on pain and autonomic nervous system in subject with lower back pain.

The Health Decision Sciences Center (HDSC) staff has deployed different approaches to training clinicians to engage patients in shared decision making for common medical tests and treatments. The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of shared decision making (SDM) skills training courses using standardized patient interactions (SPI) and written evaluations.

The goal of the proposed research is to test the feasibility of a functional progression program to reduce cost and possible radiation exposure for adolescent athletes with low back pain. Specifically the investigators plan to test the feasibility of using progression in rehabilitation to pragmatically differentially diagnose and treat adolescent athletes with low back pain, instead of using advanced imaging which is the current practice. The investigators propose to recruit 20 participants, with 10 of usual care (advanced imaging) and 10 of proposed intervention (functional progression) to assess the feasibility of using functional progress to guide treatment. The outcomes measured will be number of days for rest, time to start regular rehabilitation, pain experienced, functional outcomes, ability to return to sport, time needed to return to sport. If this pilot demonstrates the feasibility and a decreased rate of advanced imaging and similar clinical outcomes the investigators plan to progress this work into larger trials.
