Innovative Approaches in Managing Chronic Low Back Pain: A Comparative Assessment of Clinical Techniques

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug, Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of different clinical techniques in treating patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Two test groups will be included: one receiving conventional therapy (NSAIDs and other physical therapy techniques) and the other receiving a combination of neuromodulation and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Chronic pain, persisting for more than three months, inhibits natural pathways like GABA and promotes excitatory pathways, leading to increased inflammation. The study hypothesizes that neuromodulation via the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and PRP therapy will provide superior pain relief and functional improvement compared to conventional therapy.
