Study of Low Back Pain Using CERSR® Imaging Technology

29. juli 2011 opdateret af: Verium Diagnostics, Inc.

Observational Study of the Electrophysiological Course of Low Back Pain Using CERSR® Imaging Technology

The purpose of this research study is to measure with CERSR® (Computerized Electrophysiological Reconstruction of the Spinal Regions) the electrical signals made by the muscles in the lower back 1) when the subject has no low back pain 2) during the time low back pain begins, or 3) during the treatment and resolution of the low back pain, and 4) to study the changes which take place in these muscles as the pain improves with physical therapy treatment as an intervention. The hypotheses to be tested are 1) The CERSR® scan parameters for normal (pain-free) subjects are different from those of subjects with low back pain. 2) CERSR® scan aids the physician in determining a directed physical therapy treatment which leads to relief of low back pain following no more than eight weeks of physical therapy, as measured by relief of pain using a Visual Analog Scale and symptom improvement as measured using the Oswestry Disability Index.

Kohorter og interventioner

Gruppe / kohorte
Intervention / Behandling
Group A
Subjects who do not currently have low back pain.
Group B
Subjects who have low back pain at the time of the study, and who are currently being treated or have been previously treated for their low back pain and do not wish to receive further treatment for their pain.
Group C
Subjects who have low back pain at the time of the study, and wish to receive physical therapy to reduce their low back pain.
Andet: Physical Therapy
The physician will complete a physical exam as well as analyze a completed CERSR® scan study to determine the root cause of the low back pain. The physician will then prescribe a targeted physical therapy regime to address the cause of the low back pain.

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål
Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Change from Baseline in Pain Visual Analog Scale
Tidsramme: Upon enrollment (day 1 - baseline) and four weeks and eight weeks
The subjects will complete a form indicating their pain level upon enrollment. Subjects will then be scanned again at four weeks and at eight weeks. At the time of the scan subjects will also be asked to complete a follow up VAS. Upon completion of the study the change in VAS scores will be analyzed.
Upon enrollment (day 1 - baseline) and four weeks and eight weeks
