Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

To compare the effects of conventional exercise protocol and specific modified exercise program to prevent low back pain in racketlon players.

This is a mechanistic randomized controlled trial on the effects of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy on patients with chronic low back pain. It is designed as a mechanistic trial, in which the main objective is to identify which variables related to central sensitization can help predict the response to spinal manipulation, and the evolution of which of these variables can help explain clinical changes in chronic low back pain patients receiving spinal manipulative therapy.

•Null hypothesis: There is no difference in effects of Muscle Energy Technique and Routine Physical Therapy on Quadratus Lumborum in patients with chronic low back pain. •Alternative hypothesis: There is difference in effects of Muscle Energy Technique and Routine Physical Therapy on Quadratus Lumborum in patients with chronic low back pain.

This observational study seeks to explore the potential association between thoracolumbar fascia characteristics and low back pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis.

Prediabetes, characterized by elevated HbA1c levels, is a common precursor to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent studies have suggested a potential link between prediabetes and nonspecific back pain. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess whether reducing HbA1c levels through lifestyle interventions and, along with the correction of vitamin D and magnesium, can alleviate nonspecific back pain in prediabetic patients.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of treatment osteopathic manipulation in the treatment of subjects with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

This study evaluates whether different explanations given to patients with long lasting back pain influence a physical therapy treatment technique. Half of the patients will receive an explanation of the proposed treatment technique focusing on how their joints are moving and not moving. The second half of the group will receive the same treatment technique as the first group, but their explanation of the technique's purpose will focus on how their brain interprets the information. The study aims to determine if patients have a different response to the treatment based on the words chosen to explain the technique.

This study considers whether treatment effects in response to spinal manipulative therapy for individuals experiencing low back pain are dependent upon the context in which the intervention is provided. Half of the participants will receive spinal manipulative therapy with encouragement to interact with the provider and information to enhance expectations for the effectiveness of the intervention. The other half will receive spinal manipulative therapy with minimal interaction with the provider.

This is a phase IV, open-label and single-arm study of patients with non-malignant pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and joint/muscle pain, who were not responding to non-opioid analgesics. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain control among these patients.

Background: Low back pain is a major public health problem that affects most people at some point in life, and results in major psychosocial, economic, functional and physical consequences that can last for days and months. Most cases are undiagnosed and become chronic non-specific low back pain. Studies showed that these patients presented changes in postural control, yet the information is inconsistent, as well as the effects of Functional Taping (FT). Objectives: The aim of this study will be to investigate the immediate and one-month follow-up effects of the use of Functional Taping to lumbar spine on pain intensity and postural control in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CLBP). Methods: This study will be a sham-controlled and randomized clinical trial. Participants: One hundred and twenty participants (18 and 50 years) both genders. Interventions: Participants will be randomly allocated to receive three possible interventions: Functional Star-shape Taping, Sham Functional Taping (both interventions during seven days) and a Minimal Intervention (MI) (one session). Main outcome measures: Primary outcomes will be pain intensity and posturography to assess balance parameters. Low back pain related disability, global perceived effect of treatment and fear avoidance beliefs will be considered as secondary outcomes. Four measurements of static posturography will be conducted: pre-intervention, immediately after application of the tape, after seven days post-intervention (after removal of the tape) and after one month follow-up period. Secondary and primary outcomes will be assessed on three occasions: pre-intervention, seven days post-intervention and after one month follow-up period. All statistical analysis will be conducted following the principles of intention to treat, and the effects of treatment will be calculated using linear mixed models.
