Active clinical trials for "Back Pain"

Effect of three therapeutics strategies on the restriction of the participation of patients with a chronic back pain : multidisciplinary is it the key component ?

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of ischemic compression with stretching on pain related parameters including pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, anxiety, cervical range of motion and patient satisfaction in patients with scapular pain associated with myofascial trigger point.

The purpose of this investigational study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of electrical stimulation delivered to the spinal cord in subjects with chronic, intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs and will be a comparison of the Senza System with commercially available SCS systems.

The purpose of this study is to compare different methods of application of the Pilates Method with exercises in controlling in low back pain in women aged between 45 and 60 years. Two groups will be formed. One will do Pilates exercises with stabilization segmental. The other group will do classic Pilates exercises. Will be measure pre and pos intervention of the responses already shown above.

Balance problems are addressed in low back pain patients. Dearth of literature available to prove core strengthening or any form of back exercises improving functional outcomes or balance in chronic back pain patients. No studies focus on balance training in improving balance of low back pain patients. The authors are conducting a randomised trial comparing balance exercises and routine back exercise program in improving pain, functional outcomes and balance of the patients

This study is designed to compare the outcomes of two types of manual therapy techniques on patients with low back pain. Both immediate- and long-term outcomes will be examined. The investigators hypothesize there will be no differences between the two applied treatment techniques in immediate and longer-term assessments.

The primary goal of this study is to examine the effects of limiting complaints on pain and pain catastrophizing (PC) in individuals with low back pain (LBP) who are in a state of central sensitization (CS). The study will be performed on individuals who have LBP and are in a state of CS. CS is classified as a type of pain which has the following dominant features: pain that is disproportionate to the nature or extent of injury/pathology; disproportionate, non-mechanical, unpredictable pattern of pain provocation in response to aggravating/easing factors; strong association with maladaptive psychological factors ; diffuse/non-anatomic areas of pain/tenderness to palpation. These criterion have been demonstrated to have discriminative validity for diagnosing CS.

Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting humans. Lower back supports are a common device used in order to alleviate the pain. All the available back supports are wrapped around the lower back and abdomen and act as static support devices. "The hug" is a new dynamic back support where the participant actively improves his/her posture and strengthens the muscle of the lower back. This trial compares both devices and their effect on reducing lower back pain.

The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture using traditional acupoints and Ashi points with myofascial trigger points superficial dry needling and acupressure, followed by postisometric stretching of the appropriate muscles, in the treatment of patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.

This is a treatment for low back pain using electrical stimulation and laser for 6 weeks.
