Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Wallis System (interspinous process implant) is equivalent to total disc replacement (TDR) for the treatment of mild to moderate degenerative disc disease (DDD) of the lumbar spine at the L4-L5 level. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of the Wallis® System compared to commercially available lumbar TDR with respect to individual subject success rates at 24 months postoperative follow-up. Study participants will receive all study related test articles and surgical procedures at no charge.

The purpose of the study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of a function-centred treatment (FCT) compared with a pain-centred treatment (PCT) in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) in an in-patient setting. Follow-up lasted three years. Direct and indirect costs were recorded by questionnaires sent to health insurances, employers and Swiss Disability Insurance Company.

This is a randimized clinical trial comparing the effect of supervised Nordic walking versus unsupervised Nordic walking versus advice to stay active

This study has the primary goal of evaluating the efficacy of corticoid infiltration in the quadratus lumborum syndrome, aiming to determine if there are benefits with the use of corticosteroids and if they exist, if this improvement comes only from the systemic effects of corticosteroid administration.

The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of the "Re Spine" mattress, which was designed as an alternative to physiotherapy in the treatment of low back pain (LBP).

The Purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of herbal medicine with manipulation therapy on Korean Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain

The primary aim of this study is to compare the effects of an exercise program based on movement control exercises associated with self-management advice (SME) or pain neuroscience education (PNE) on the outcomes of pain intensity and pain disability in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CLBP).

The TOPS™ SP System is intended to provide stabilization in skeletally mature patients. The system is designed to afford motion of the spine segment without fusion. The pur0pose of this prospective clinical study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the TOPS™ System, when used following decompression, in the treatment of lower back and sciatic pain.

This study aim evaluates the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on back muscle fatigue of low back pain patients, analysing the electromyography activity of longissimus muscle (median frequency) and the sustained time during a fatigue test (Ito test).

The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the benefits of back bracing in the symptomatic management of patients with CLBP due to degenerative lumbar disc disease. The plan is to study patients with uncomplicated CLBP without symptoms of radiculopathy or neurogenic claudication. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate if a back brace provides any additive benefit to usual care consisting of exercise and patient education in patients with CLBP due to degenerative disc disease. Specific Aim 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of back brace to improve pain and patient-reported functional measures in patients with uncomplicated CLBP due to degenerative disc and degenerative joint disease without associated symptoms of neurogenic claudication or lumbosacral radiculopathy. Hypothesis 1. Back brace in addition to usual care will provide statistically significant improvement in pain and functional measures compared to usual care alone. Specific Aim 2. To evaluate the adherence to back brace wear instructions in patients with uncomplicated CLBP due to degenerative disc and degenerative joint disease without associated symptoms of neurogenic claudication or lumbosacral radiculopathy Hypothesis 2. Patients with CLBP, due to degenerative disc and degenerative joint disease without associated symptoms of neurogenic claudication or lumbosacral radiculopathy, who are prescribed a back brace, will demonstrate clinically acceptable rates of adherence to brace wear instructions.
