Randomized Study on the Evaluation of the Regular Practice of Standardized Postures Stretching Postural®...

Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain (LBP) during pregnancy is a frequent syndrome: it concerns two thirds of pregnant women. This complaint isn't routinely searched for and therefore underdiagnosed. Furthermore, few solutions are given to these women in order to reduce their pain, and indirectly to improve everyday life. What's more, LBP is the cause of many work interruptions. Physical exercise during pregnancy is recommended by the National College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians for low risk pregnancies. Several techniques have proven to be efficient. The main objective of our study is to assess the benefit of regular practice of standardised Stretching Postural® postures in patients presenting "de novo" lower back pain during pregnancy. The Stretching Postural® technique comprises of static postures involving muscular contractions and stretches. This allows the strengthening of the postural muscles, including the paravertebral muscles. After a short learning period, postures can be done autonomously by the patients. The postures are adaptable to each and everyone's morphology and physical limitations. Our study is an open, prospective, randomised monocentric superiority trial in parallel branches involving major patients during low risk pregnancies. These women suffer from "de novo" lower back pain during the second and third trimesters of their pregnancies. Each patient will be randomly assigned to one of the following 2 groups: Stretching Postural® group (group A): usual prevention methods (ergonomic education) and Stretching Postural® postures. "Control" group (group B): usual prevention methods only. Patients presenting "de novo" LBP are included in the study after a routine consult then randomly separated into two groups. During the initial consult, the physician assesses inclusion and judgement criteria, collects informed consent from the patients and teaches them the usual prevention methods as well as, concerning group A, Stretching Postural® postures. Computerized support agendas are given in order to improve observance. Patients are evaluated at day 0 (initial evaluation), after 4 weeks (intermediate) and after 8 weeks (final), according to the main judgment criterion, as well as on secondary pain criteria by the Concise Pain Questionnaire, on their quality of life, the rate of work interruptions and their satisfaction rate. Neonatal outcome is collected at birth. Intermediate phone interviews will allow psychological support and improve observance. Inclusion is scheduled to last 22 months; each subject will be followed during a period of 2 months. The total duration of the study is 2 years. Expected results are a decrease in back pain and an improvement of the quality of life in group A. Decrease in pain scale, equivalent to overall pain during the last week between the two groups will be our main judgment criterion. In order to detect a difference of 1.5 pain scale points (on a scale from 1 to 10) with an alpha risk of 5%, 80% magnitude and a standard deviation of 2, 56 subjects are necessary; 28 in each group. Perspectives: This study will allow for a better diagnosis of lower back pain during pregnancy, and, consequently, for the implementation of routine means of care such as collective or private lessons in Stretching Postural® and the supply of personalised prevention documents.

Reliability of Function Tests for People With Back Pain.

Low Back PainAdult

Back pain is often accompanied by changes in function. The performance of individuals with their backs on their wills may become more functional. It is believed that the test will present good to excellent reliability in individuals with chronic back pain. From this, it can be used in the clinic to verify the functional capacity of these individuals.

Efficiency Comparison Between Methylprednisolone and Phenol 8% Treatment Using a Trans Sacral Approach...

Back Pain

The American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Management, Chronic Pain section, recommended Phenol neurolysis when other techniques have failed to provide adequate pain control. In this study we sought to Compare the pain relieve on a Lower Back and Limbs obtained from Methylprednisolone and Phenol 8% Treatment given by Trans Sacral Approach. The study includes patients who suffers from a chronic low back and/or limbs pain which were referred to be given epidural as a treatment. Control group receives 80 mg Methylprednisolone while the test group receives phenol 8%.

Alleviating Trunk Low Back Pain, With an Active Medical Device Study (ATLAS)

Chronic Low Back Pain

The aim of the study is to evaluate the reduction of pain by wearing the ATLAS Medical Device in standardized daily activities for patients with Chronic Low Back Pain. This is an intervention al non blinded study with a crossover design comparing pain evaluated with an Analogue Visual Scale with and without the ATLAS device during 5 standardized daily activities.

EFFECTIVENESS OF A PROGRAM OF DOMICILIARY EXERCISES AGAINST HABITUAL CLINICAL PRACTICE IN THE RECURRENCE...

Low Back Pain

Introduction: Low back pain is a frequent and universally distributed symptom that affects people of any age and both sexes. Approximately 80% of the population will present it at some point in their life. Acute low back pain lasts less than 4 weeks, subacute 4 to 12 weeks and chronic more than 12 weeks. Hypothesis: Treatment with an exercise program combined with the usual treatment decreases the recurrence of acute low back pain, as well as improvements in pain, functionality, and quality of life of patients. Principal Objective To evaluate the decrease of recurrence of low back pain in the medium-long term of the patients who perform an exercise program compared to those who do not, with both groups receiving the same pharmacological treatment and information of the postural hygiene guidelines endorsed by the current scientific societies. Methods: Patients between 18 and 65 years of age who come to the emergency room with acute low back pain and who meet the eligibility criteria proposed for this study. At the first visit, patients in a control group and intervention group will be randomized. Pharmacological treatment and postural hygiene guidelines will be indicated for both groups, adding the exercise table to the intervention group. The variables chosen are the questionnaires Oswestry for functionality, Goldberg, EuroQol-5D for the quality of life, and VAS for pain; which will be measured in the first consultation, at one month, at three and at six months.

Diagnostic Value of 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI in the Management of Suspected Facet Joint Arthropathy...

Arthropathy of Lumbar FacetPain1 more

Prior to the injection, the facet joints have to be defined according to standard radiological techniques (e.g. MRI and physical correlation). Patients are then sent to 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI imaging, in order to localize facet joints with increased uptake. Facet joints to be injected are again defined according to the location(s) of highest uptake as demonstrated by 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI. The defined injection sites before and after PET/MRI are compared. In equal defined injection sites, patients are sent for infiltration as scheduled, otherwise patients are randomized into two groups. One group will undergo facet injection(s) according to the 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI result, with standard injections performed under CT-guidance by the radiology department of the study site. The control group will undergo facet injections blinded to the 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI results, but based on current standard clinical practise (MRI and clinical correlation). The patients are asked to complete a validated pain and function questionnaire immediately before the facet joint injection, at 15 minutes, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month after the injection, as performed routinely in our institution. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the value of 18F-Fluoride-PET/MRI imaging in patients with low back pain with evidence of painful facet joint arthropathy, which would potentially benefit from facet joint injections.

Low Back Pain

This study will compare patients with low back pain (LBP) to age and gender matched controls to determine if there are differences between the two groups related to: range of movement, secondary outcomes (level of disability, quality of life, evidence of depression, anxiety or stress), movement patterns and demographic characteristics. The first phase will include a baseline and 3 month follow-up assessment of the LBP patients and controls, including demographic characteristics, outcome measures, and a physical assessment. The second phase is an ongoing phase with continued interim assessments of LBP patients only, at 6 and 12 months.
