Posterior-Chain Resistance Training Compared to General Exercise and Walking Programmes for the Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain in the General Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis showed that chronic posterior chain resistance training (PCRT) had a statistically significantly greater effect than general exercise (GE) on patients with chronic low back pain.

The Effect of Virtual Reality Training on Anticipatory Postural Adjustments in Patients with Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Preliminary Study.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of virtual reality training on postural control, measured by anticipatory and compensatory postural adjustments (APAs and CPAs, respectively), in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) and the potential neuromuscular mechanism of VR training were explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benefits of Adding Gluteal Dry Needling to a Four-Week Physical Exercise Program in a Chronic Low Back Pain Population. A Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: In chronic low back patients, adding dry needling to a four-week exercise program has an additional benefit in pain and sensitivity compared with adding sham dry needled to the same exercise program.

The Effectiveness Assessment of Massage Therapy Using Entropy-Based EEG Features Among Lumbar Disc Herniation Patients Comparing With Healthy Controls

TL;DR: The immediate effects of Chinese massage on four EEG rhythms indicated that the entropy-based features and permutation disalignment index (PDI) of EEG rhythms could be promising indices of the massage effectiveness for LDH patients and control group.

J-2156, a somatostatin receptor type 4 agonist, alleviates mechanical hyperalgesia in a rat model of chronic low back pain.

TL;DR: The SST4 receptor is worthy of further investigation as a target for discovery of novel analgesics for the relief of chronic LBP.

Grading the severity of chronic pain.

TL;DR: A Guttman scale analysis showed that pain intensity and disability measures formed a reliable hierarchical scale and may be useful when a brief ordinal measure of global pain severity is required.
