Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a treatment based on Movement System Impairment based classification (MSI) model in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

The aim of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture using Yamamoto's method for the treatment of ANLBP using the following outcomes:pain,functional capacity,quality of life and number of 50 mg sodium diclofenac pills taken per day.

A cluster, randomized, controlled clinical trial, where the hypothesis is that Group GDS and Individual GDS are effective in the treatment of nonspecific low back pain. The clusters will be the participating physiotherapy departments in primary care who treat patients with low back pain. In each physiotherapy department there will be 3 groups: education group, Group GDS and Individual GDS. Patients will be followed for 12 months. Variables will be: demographic,intensity of pain, disability, quality of life, patient satisfaction, medication intake for current episode, non-pharmacologic treatment for current episode, co-morbidity, diagnostic tests, sick leave, and habitual physical activity. The questionnaires to be used are: Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, PI-NRS, VAS, SF-12 and EQ-5d.

The purpose of this study is to find the clinical dose range of an active ingredient of JNS013 - Tramadol hydrochloride in chronic-pain patients who cannot attain a sufficient analgesic effect from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

The primary purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of 2 tablets (twice daily) of ABT-712, compared to placebo, administered over a 4-week period in participants with moderate to severe mechanical chronic low back pain (CLBP).

Chronic low back pain is the most common cause of pain in the United States. Common treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and surgery often do not provide adequate relief. Yoga has shown promise for improving low back pain in studies of predominantly middle class white individuals. We will assess the feasibility and collect preliminary data on yoga for chronic low back pain in predominantly minority individuals in a community health center setting in a low income neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. We hypothesize that offering yoga for this population is feasible and will show promising efficacy and safety data.

A randomized controlled trial over a 10-week period with a two-year follow-up. The objectives were to compare effects of manual therapy in addition to the stay-active concept versus the stay-active concept only in low back pain patients recruited from primary health care. 160 outpatients with acute or subacute low back pain with or without pain radiation into the legs (70 women, 90 men, ages 20-55 years) were recruited from a geographically defined area and randomly allocated to stay-active care with or without muscle stretching, or to manual therapy with or without specific corticosteroid injections in addition to the stay-active concept. Pain, disability rating index, and sickness absence measures were used as outcome at 10-week follow-up and sickness absence was measured at two-year follow-up.

Patients with Chronic Axial Low Back Pain participated in a Phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy of lidocaine 5% patch compared with placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of fentanyl in opioid-naive participants with osteoarthritis (disorder, which is seen mostly in older persons, in which the joints become painful and stuff) or low back pain who cannot obtain a sufficient analgesic effect by the treatment of non-opioid analgesics (drug used to control pain).

The pain relief, safety, and tolerability of valdecoxib 40 mg once daily compared with diclofenac 75 mg twice daily for acute low back pain was studied. The effect of valdecoxib on the patient's level of disability and quality of life was also studied.
