An interventional study of PEMF and Hot pack in Lumbar Disc Herniation, sponsored by Birkan Sonel Tur. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-08-08.
Sponsored by Birkan Sonel Tur · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pulse magnetic field therapy on pain, functional status, and quality of life in patients with chronic radicular pain due to lumbar disc herniation.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a non-invasive, painless treatment for various injuries, bone related conditions and pains. However, further studies on PEMF effects on low back and radicular pain is needed due to lack of studies in this area.
478 studies on the registry are indexed under Intervertebral Disc Displacement; 104 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 63 across 344 interventional studies indexed under Intervertebral Disc Displacement.

Nottingham Health Profile (NHP)
Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) is a questionnaire designed to measure a patient's view of their own health status, in a number of areas. The NHP consists of two parts. The first part focuses on health and comprises 38 items which deal with pain, energy, sleep, mobility, emotional reaction and social isolation. All questions have only yes/no answer options and each section score is weighted. The higher the score, the greater the number and severity of problems. The highest score in any section is 100.
