Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the kinesio taping method is effective in the treatment of chronic (more than six months duration) low back pain.

This study is being done to determine whether cooled radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) on the medial branch nerves of the lumbar facet joint is effective for the treatment of low back pain. CRFA blocks the nerves that carry pain signals from joints in the lower back such that the brain does not receive the message that the low back is in pain. This technique is commonly performed by burning these nerves rather freezing them, but it is suspected that freezing them results in better pain relief. The CRFA blocks has been shown to effectively treat sacroiliac joint pain (a joint in the pelvis), which is another reason that it is suspected that CRFA will be effective when treating pain related to facet joints in the low back. We are performing this study in order to determine if that is the case.

Comparative clinical study of Ketorolac tromethamineand Ketoprofen gel in patients with Gonarthrosis and Low back pain.

The primary purpose is to examine the impact that physical therapy (PT) interventions, including manipulations, have on physical activity levels outside of the clinical environment in persons with low back pain (LBP) as measured both objectively with an accelerometer and subjectively with questionnaires. The secondary purpose is to determine if a relationship exists between objective physical activity, self-perceived disability pain catastrophizing thoughts, BMI, age, six-minute walk distance, lower extremity muscle endurance. The tertiary purpose is to assess the predictive value that a standing manual lumbar unloading technique has for relief of pain following manipulation

The purpose of the current randomized clinical trial was to compare the effectiveness of myofascial soft tissue release versus mobilization with impulse technique torsion (anterior) on pain, disability, and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the immediate pain relieving effects of sinbaro-3 pharmaco-acupuncture in patients with low back pain admitted for inpatient care

Multi-center Study to Compare Efficacy and Safety between Eperisone a BID and a TID Regimen in Acute Low Back Pain Patients during 7 days.

The overall aim of this program of research is to develop a collaborative psychotherapy for major depressive disorder (MDD) specifically for primary care patients with MDD and comorbid chronic low back pain (CLBP). The purpose of the proposed project is to establish the feasibility and acceptability of a research design for an eventual large-scale randomized clinical trial which would test the efficacy of PEPP in comparison to a control condition (depression care management). To achieve the investigators specific aims, the investigators will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (n = 30), with two treatment arms; PEPP (which includes procedures used in care management) or care management.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a craniosacral therapy program are effective on disability, quality of life, autonomic nervous system and oxidative stress indicators in patients with chronic low back pain.

Background: Persistent nonspecific low back pain (PNSLBP) is one of the most common low back pains worldwide. Many interventions were tried including wet cupping which is commonly used for pain conditions in Saudi Arabia and other parts in the world but without solid scientific evidence. Aims: This study aims at determining safety and efficacy of wet cupping for treating PNSLBP. Methods: This is a randomized wait-listed controlled clinical trial. Eligible patients with history of at least 3 months of PNSLBP will be randomized in to two groups, 45 patients each. The first group will be given wet-cupping treatment at two acupuncture points of urinary Bladder (BL) meridians among the BL23, BL24 and BL25, 6 times within 2 weeks. The second group will serve as a control group. Usual care, including providing brochures for exercise, general advice for PNSLBP and acetaminophen, will be allowed in both groups. Separate assessors participated in the outcome assessment. Investigators will use the 0 to100 numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain, the McGill Pain questionnaire for pain intensity (PPI) and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ), and to assess acetaminophen use and safety issues. Expected Results: To provide data on the safety and effectiveness of wet cupping in treating PNSLBP and open the way for integrative medicine in Saudi Arabia
