CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN (CLBP)

This study tested whether a robotic seat called LumbaCure® could help people with chronic low back pain when added to standard physical therapy. Fifty participants were split into two groups: one used the device during their therapy sessions, and the other did standard exercises.…

This small pilot study tested whether a single session of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could reduce pain sensitivity in people with chronic low back pain. Researchers used a magnetic coil placed on the scalp to stimulate a specific brain area, measuring cha…

This study aimed to understand how a 14-week supervised exercise program helps people with chronic low back pain. Researchers tested 57 adults to see if exercise reduces pain by changing how specific brain regions communicate and by altering the activity of inflammation-related g…

This study aimed to see which of two exercise methods works better for easing chronic low back pain. Researchers compared suspension training (using hanging straps) to pressure biofeedback training (using a device to guide muscle control) in 48 young adults. The goal was to reduc…

This study compared two physical therapy treatments for women with long-lasting low back pain after a cesarean section. It tested whether therapeutic ultrasound or electrical dry needling was better at reducing pain and fear of movement. The trial involved 36 women who had their …

This study aimed to understand how physiotherapists treat chronic pain, focusing on cancer survivors and people with chronic low back pain. Researchers surveyed 330 physiotherapists in Belgium and the Netherlands about their knowledge, beliefs, and treatment decisions. They also …

This study aimed to find out if physical tests for low back pain can be done accurately over video call instead of in person. Researchers had 36 adults with chronic low back pain perform a series of strength and movement tests both face-to-face and remotely. The goal was to see i…
