Objective: To compare the effectiveness of an integrated rehabilitation programme with an existing rehabilitation programme in patients with chronic low back pain. Design: A single-centre, pragmatic, two-arm parallel, randomized controlled trial (1:1 ratio). Setting: A rheumatology inpatient rehabilitation centre in Denmark. Subjects: A total of 165 adults (aged ⩾ 18 years) with chronic low back pain. Interventions: An integrated rehabilitation programme comprising an alternation of three weeks of inpatient stay and 12 weeks of home-based activities was compared with an existing rehabilitation programme of four weeks of inpatient stay. Main measures: Patient-reported outcomes were collected at baseline and at the 26-week follow-up. The primary outcome was back-specific disability (Oswestry Disability Index). Secondary outcomes included pain intensity (Numerical Rating Scale), pain self-efficacy (Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire), health-related quality of life (EuroQol-5 Domain 5-level (EQ-5D)), and depression (Major Depression Inventory). A complete case analysis was performed. Results: A total of 303 patients were assessed for eligibility of whom 165 (mean age: 50 years (SD 13) and mean Oswestry Disability Index score 42 (SD 11)) were randomized (83 to existing rehabilitation programme and 82 to integrated rehabilitation programme). Overall, 139 patients provided the 26-week follow-up data. Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were comparable between programmes. The between-group difference in the Oswestry Disability Index score when adjusting for the corresponding baseline score was −0.28 (95% confidence interval (CI): −4.02, 3.45) which was neither statistically nor clinically significant. No significant differences were found in the secondary outcomes. Conclusion: An integrated rehabilitation programme was no more effective than an existing rehabilitation programme at the 26-week follow-up.

Context: A simulated horseback riding (SHR) exercise is effective for improvement of pain and functional disability, but its comparative effectiveness with the other is unknown. Objective: The authors aimed to demonstrate the effect of a SHR exercise in people with chronic low back pain. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Settings: Community and university campus. Participants: A total of 48 participants with chronic low back pain were divided into 2 groups, and SHR exercises (n = 24) or stabilization (STB) exercises (n = 24) were performed. Interventions: The exercises were performed for 30 minutes, 2 days per week for 8 weeks. Main Outcome Measures: Numeric rating scale, functional disabilities (Oswestry disability index and Roland–Morris disability), and fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) scores were measured at baseline and at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months. Results: A 2-way repeated analysis of variance identified that between-group comparisons showed significant differences in the FABQ related to work scale (F = 21.422; P = .01). There were no significant differences in the numeric rating scale (F = 1.696; P = .21), Oswestry disability index (F = 1.848; P = .20), Roland–Morris disability (F = 0.069; P = .80), and FABQ related to physical scale (F = 1.579; P = .24). In within-group comparisons, both groups presented significant differences in numeric rating scale (both SHR and STB after 4 wk), Oswestry disability index (both SHR and STB after 6 mo), and Roland–Morris disability (SHR after 6 mo and STB after 8 wk) compared with baseline values. In FABQ-related physical (SHR after 4 wk) and work scales (SHR after 6 mo), there were only significant differences in the SHR compared with baseline values. Conclusions: SHR exercise for 8 weeks had a greater effect than STB exercise for reducing work-related FABQ. The SHR exercise performed in a seated position could substantially decrease pain-related fear disability in young adults with chronic low back pain.

AIM & Objective: The main purpose of this study was to assess the results of Homoeopathic treatment in the management of chronic low back pain and to provide evidence of impact on the patients in terms of health status and health related quality of life. Methods: It was a single-centred, prospective, interventional study conducted at MNR UHC Homeopathic OPD in Sangareddy, from Dec 2018 to Feb 2019. At 0 day (Baseline) and 90 days standardized measuring scale were used like, Oswestry Disability Index, SF-12 questionnaire. Homoeopathic treatment was given to patients suffering from chronic low back pain. Results: Estimation of the Oswestry Disability Index showed that: severity of pain, personal care, sitting, standing, social life and travelling score were significantly improved (P<0.05).Significant differences were also found in the Quality of Life (QOL)‑SF 12 in physical domain [difference -19 (95% CI: -6.47, -0.43)], and psychological domain [difference -19 (95% CI: -6.31, -0.29](p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Homoeopathic treatment has made significant improvement in the patients suffering from chronic low back pain pertaining to the symptom’s severity. Further Randomised control trail can be conducted for validation of the results.            Key words: Chronic Low Back pain, Homoeopathic, Oswestry disability.
