Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

Analysis of the effectiveness of radial shock wave therapy as part of a multimodal pain therapy in the inpatient setting. Different therapy protocols are compared in previously non-operated and in previously operated patients.

This study is a randomized controlled trial on acupuncture for Acute Low Back Pain(ALBP). According to literature, using distal acupoints only to treat ALBP is mostly recognized, but in our daily clinical practice, it is common to use local acupoints mainly combined with distal acupoints. Which method leads to better effect is one important clinical question in treating Low Back Pain(LBP) by acupuncture. In this proposed study, the investigators aim to compare the efficacy of using "distal acupoints only" and "local acupoints mainly combined with distal acupoints" on ALBP.

This study evaluates whether psilocybin therapy helps patients cope with chronic low back pain more effectively. Patients may be recruited at Stanford and University of California San Francisco (UCSF), study procedures will occur at UCSF. Each participant will receive a dose of psilocybin with possibly one or more other drugs. Participants will undergo two preparation sessions, a dosing session, three integration sessions to discuss their psilocybin experience, and several follow up sessions.

Study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check the effects of ELDOA technique versus lumbar SNAGS with motor control exercises on pain, function and mobility in patients with chronic low back pain. Duration of study will be 8 months, non probability convenience sampling technique will be used, subject following eligibility criteria from District Headquarters Hospital Okara will be randomly allocated in two groups using computer random number generator. baseline assessment will be done. Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with ELDOA exercises, Group B participants will be given baseline treatment along with Lumbar SNAGS and motor control exercises for 3 weeks. Assessment will be done by using Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry Disability Index and Inclinometer at baseline, at 3 weeks and a follow up will be taken at 6 weeks. 3 sessions per week will be given, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.

The goal of thisclinical trial is to observe and quantify the impact of our massage methods on the human body based on B-mode ultrasound, Vas score, and ODI score, and to compare our massage methods with traditional Chinese massage treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: To set up our standard operating procedure of massage therapy to adjust the stress line of psoas myofascial chain, and provide a more simple and effective therapy for Chronic low back pain. try to establish a kind of ultrasonic standard to evaluate the curative effect of treating chronic low back pain. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group, the experimental group was given our characteristic massage treatment, the control group was given traditional Chinese massage treatment.Both groups were treated once every other day, 3 times a week, 2 weeks as a course of treatment, 2 courses of treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate mechanism underlying lumbar multifidus muscle (LM) activation deficits in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP). The main questions it aim to answer is whether motor cortex or muscular level is the underlying mechanism responsible for the LM activation deficits. Participants will: Undergo cortical excitability measurement using transcranial magnetic stimulation, LM activation measurement using ultrasound imaging, and force measurement using hand-held dynamometer. Be randomly assigned to either repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) or neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) Undergo all measurement at post-intervention Researchers will compare within and between groups to see changes in cortical excitability, LM activation, and force.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effectiveness of yoga for patients with chronic low back pain and high risk of poor prognosis. The main question it aims to answer is: - In patients with back pain and high risk of poor prognosis, what is the effectiveness of yoga plus education on reducing pain and disability compared to a control group receiving education alone? A total of 110 patients with chronic low back pain and classified as high risk of poor prognosis according to the Orebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire (i.e. score ≥ 50 points out of 100) will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: yoga and control. The yoga group will receive a 3-month course of yoga program consisting of two sessions per week and 3 educational classes. The control group will receive 3 educational classes over a 12-week period. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, at post-intervention (i.e. 3-months post randomization) and at 6-month follow up (i.e. 6-months post randomization).

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of functional exercise on pain, functional disability and core strength in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain .

The purpose of the study is to examine the implementation strategy, in terms of feasibility and the possible benefits, of a free online Zoom t'ai chi and qigong gentle movement and meditation program to reduce back pain and to improve sleep and quality of life among those with chronic back pain. The primary objective of this study is to examine whether a safe and moderate online t'ai chi and qigong exercise program, offered without cost to individuals with chronic back pain, improves pain levels, sleep, and quality of life; The secondary objective is to explore whether improvements in pain levels are different among smokers and those with unhealthy BMI than among others.

The goal of this interventional study is to investigate the effectiveness of an acute bout of exercises on pain sensitivity and clinical pain among adults with Chronic Low Back Pain. The following question will be answered in this research Q1: Is acute bout of exercise effective in reducing pain among adults with Chronic Low Back Pain? Participants who agree to participate and sign the informed consent will be randomized to one of three groups: Group 1: Isometric exercise with neutral language and no verbal suggestion consisting of 1 rep of wall squat, 3 min or to volitional fatigue at 100° knee angle;(n=30). Group 2: Isometric exercise with neutral language and no verbal suggestion consisting of 3 reps of wall squat, 3 min or to volitional fatigue at 100°degree knee angle, 30-sec rest between rep, ;(n=30). Group 3 (Control group): true control (do nothing);(n=30).
