Exercise and spinal manipulative therapy are commonly used for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Australia. Reduction intensity is a common outcome; however, it only one measure intervention efficacy clinical practice. Therefore, we evaluated effectiveness two interventions on physical self-report measures CLBP. Participants were randomized to 6-month general strength conditioning (GSC; n = 20; up 52 sessions) or motor control exercise plus manual (MCMT; 12 sessions). Pain was...
Brain structure, psychosocial, and physical factors underpin back pain conditions; however, less is known about how these differ based on duration location. We examined, cross-sectionally, 11,106 individuals from the UK Biobank who (1) were pain-free (n = 5616), (2) had acute 1746), (3) chronic localised (CBP; n 1872), or (4) additional sites (CWP; 1872). found differences in structural brain measures groups alone. Both CBP CWP lower primary somatosensory cortex {CBP mean difference (MD)...
Objective To explore a protection motivation theory screening tool for predicting rehabilitation adherence. Design Analysis of randomised controlled trial. Setting An exercise physiology and physiotherapist clinic. Participants Patients with chronic low back pain (n=40). Interventions General strength conditioning (GSC) compared motor control manual therapy. Primary secondary outcome measures: patient adherence to supervised sessions dropout using the Sports Injury Rehabilitation Beliefs...
Lower back pain is a global health issue affecting approximately 80% of people at some stage in their life. The current literature suggests that any exercise beneficial for reducing pain. However, as subjective evaluation and physical deficits are evident low pain, using it the sole outcome measure to evaluate superiority an protocol treatment insufficient. overarching goal clinical trial implement two common, conservative intervention approaches examine impact on chronic Forty participants,...
Abstract Chronic back pain (CBP) is heterogenous and identifying sub-groups could improve clinical decision making. Machine learning can build upon prior sub-grouping approaches by using a data-driven approach to overcome clinician subjectivity, however, only binary classification of versus no-pain has been attempted date. In our cross-sectional study, age- sex-matched participants with CBP (n = 4156) pain-free controls 14,927) from the UkBioBank were included. We included variables body...
Objectives Exercise can be used as a treatment for depressive symptoms in the general population. However, little is known to whether exercise has mental health benefits adults experiencing chronic low back pain (CLBP). The aim of this study was examine feasibility two intervention protocols commonly clinical practice treating pain, but with differing dose, on symptoms. Methods Forty men and women (mean age = 35) persistent (>3 months), non-specific were recruited into randomised trial...
Chronic low back pain disorders (CLBDs) present a substantial societal burden; however, optimal treatment remains debated. To date, pairwise and network meta-analyses have evaluated individual modes, yet comparison of wide range common treatments is required to evaluate their relative effectiveness. Using meta-analysis, we aim the effectiveness (acupuncture, education or advice, electrophysical agents, exercise, manual therapies/manipulation, massage, McKenzie method, pharmacotherapy,...
