Chronic low back pain

Chronic low-back pain is an illness that shows a high prevalence worldwide. There is a set of causes that we can attribute to such condition. It does range from muscle contractures, arthritis, radiculopathies, degeneration of the intervertebral disc to pathologies such as cancer. Nevertheless, 90% of such pain has been classified as non-specific. In fact, the treatment for the illness is commonly oriented towards the symptoms. Rarely, it is investigated. To get the most of it, we are proposing a system to identify, analyze and generate a treatment for low-back pain. The system encompasses a se

The prevalence of chronic low back pain (CLBP) among the Pakistani population is reported to be as high as 78% leading to different physiological and psychosocial alterations. This randomized controlled trial was specifically designed to compare the biofeedback surface electromyography (sEMG) effectiveness for chronic low back pain in the Pakistani population.This was a single-centered study conducted on 100 CLBP patients randomized equally into two groups namely; Group A (intervention group, n=50) and Group B (Control Group, n=50) to receive sEMG therapy and continued care, respectively. All

We explored the potential of altering movement-evoked pain in individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) by manipulating visual proprioceptive cues through virtual reality (VR). Additionally, we investigated whether individuals with higher levels of pain, kinesiophobia, disability and catastrophizing might demonstrate greater susceptibility to visual feedback manipulation. In this cross-sectional study, 50 patients with non-specific chronic LBP extended their lumbar spine until the onset of pain. This was done both without the use of VR and using the VR. The visual feedback regarding the amo
