Active clinical trials for "Low Back Pain"

The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with low back pain meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using pain and disability as subjective measurement through Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) & modified Oswestry disability index and the lumber range by goniometer as objective measurement. One group is subject will be treated with therapeutic neuroscience education and core stability exercise and second group is core stability exercise. Each subject received 18 sessions with 3 treatments per week. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore

. 24 individuals were evaluated, with low back pain for more than 12 weeks and aged between 12 and 65 years. The current used in the lumbar region of the participants was of the tetrapolar interferential type and the stimulation mode was the automatic vector, carrier of 4,000 HZ, modulation frequency (AMF) of 50 HZ, sweep frequency of SWEEP of 20HZ. The assessment of pain and functionality was performed using the data collection instrument, the Visual Analogue Pain Scale (VAS), Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and the Owestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ) respectively. The present study demonstrates that treatment with interferential current promotes chemical improvement in participants, which opens up new perspectives on the use of this therapeutic approach.

Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.

A study to explore whether two different treatment approaches, myofascial trigger point release and core stabilization exercises, both with and without additional paced breathing training, can help patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and whether one of the two treatments is superior.

The aim of this study is to effectively investigate the relaxation of the diaphragm and iliopsoas muscle with myofascial technique in patients with chronic low back pain.

The low back pain is a leading cause to limit individual functional activities worldwide and 60%-80% of adults are probable to get low back pain at least once in life time. Whereas, the chronic low back pain prevalence is 10%.The current literature suggests that any exercise is beneficial for reducing chronic nonspecific low back pain. This limits evidence regarding superiority of specific exercise for low back pain treatment. Therefore, a randomized control trial will be conducted at department of physiotherapy to assess which treatment is more effective in chronic low back pain at department of physiotherapy, institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation, Dow University of Health Sciences after synopsis approval. Overall 150 participants with 18-40 years old having chronic low back pain will be eligible and they will be included through non-probability, purposive sampling technique. The written informed consent will be taken from all the participants. They will be divided through systematic random sampling method into two groups, 75 in each group. Group A (experimental group) will receive Bilateral, asymmetrical limbs PNF pattern exercises and group B (control group) will receive Swiss ball exercises. All participants will be assessed using assessment form. Pain and functional disability will be measured by subjective outcome tools, visual analogue scale with 0-10cm and Oswestry disability index , respectively. Range of movement of lumbar and multifidus muscle activity will be measured by objective outcome tool, modified-modified Schober's test and surface electromyography, respectively. The pre & post treatment outcomes will be collected and recorded. Treatment sessions will be given thrice a week for 5 weeks. A maximum drop-out rate of 20% is expected. The Mean ± SD will be calculated for quantitative variables and frequencies and percentages for qualitative variables. The recorded outcome variables before and after the five weeks of treatment will be compared and analysed. The p-value of 0.05 will be considered as level of significant.

This study evaluates the effect of a supervised exercise program on paraspinal muscle morphology and function, as well as disability/function in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Half of the participants will do a targeted paraspinal muscle exercise program, while the other half will do a general exercise program.

This study will test the effects of a sedentary behavior intervention on pain processing, blood bio-markers and pain symptoms in individuals with chronic low back pain. The behavioral intervention will include a wrist-worn activity monitor that will notify participants when they have been sedentary for too long, motivational interviewing, and habit development.

This study compares the effect of multidimensional physiotherapy to usual evidence-based physiotherapy in the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain in adults. Half of the participants will receive multidimensional physiotherapy based on biopsychosocial approach while the other half will receive usual evidence based physiotherapy.

Perform a cost-utility analysis in patients with chronic low back pain through electroanalgesia treatment and exercises administered by telemedicine program versus face-to-face program
