Chiropractic and Self-care for Back-Related Leg Pain
Description

The primary aims of the project are to determine the clinical efficacy of chiropractic Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT) plus self-care education versus self-care education alone in 192 patients with sub-acute and chronic Back Related Leg Pain (BRLP) in both the short-term (after 12 weeks) and long-term (after 52 weeks). The primary outcome variable is leg pain and secondary outcome variables include low back pain, disability, bothersomeness and frequency of symptoms, general health status, and fear avoidance behavior. Secondary aims are to describe and estimate between group differences in patient satisfaction, improvement, medication use, straight leg raise, torso endurance, and three biomechanical measures: continuous spinal motion, postural sway, and neuromuscular response to sudden load. Patient perceptions of treatment will also be assessed.

Integrated Supported Biopsychosocial Self-Management for Back Related Leg Pain
Description

Guidelines advocate several complementary modalities as alternatives to drugs and other invasive treatments for chronic low back pain (LBP) conditions. However, there is little high-quality research investigating treatments for back-related leg pain, one of the more severe and disabling presentations of LBP. The investigators are conducting a pilot study to assess the feasibility of a future phase II multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT). The future trial will assess the comparative effectiveness of a novel supported biopsychosocial self-management (SBSM) intervention versus Medical Care (MC).

Effect of Spinal Cord Stimulation on Gait and Balance in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients
Description

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) uses electrical signals to disrupt noxious signals arising from painful areas, thereby reducing pain perception. Successful SCS implants lead to a broad range of positive outcomes: 1) long-term pain can be expected to be reduced by at least by 50%; 2) quality of life as assessed by subjective measurements improves substantially; 3) patients can significantly reduce opioid medication intake.1 However, the impacts of SCS intervention on neuromuscular and biomechanical outcomes including gait and balance have not been fully explored. Fifty subjects with symptomatic leg pain and/or low back pain (LBP) who are deemed appropriate SCS candidates and are scheduled for surgery will undergo gait and balance analyses preoperatively as well as 6 weeks and 3 months post operatively. In addition, 50 control subjects having no pain will undergo 1 session of gait and balance assessment. Objective spine and lower extremity motion and neuromuscular control will be evaluated using dynamic surface EMG and a video motion capture system during functional evaluation. Also, explored will be the relationship of changes in gait and balance to psychosocial factors that have previously been shown to be correlated with SCS outcomes.

Improving Safety of Diagnosis and Therapy in the Inpatient Setting
Description

To improve the safety of diagnosis and therapy for a set of conditions and undifferentiated symptoms for hospitalized patients, the investigators will employ a set of methods and tools from the disciplines of systems engineering, human factors, quality improvement,and data analytics to thoroughly analyze the problem, design and develop potential solutions that leverage existing current technological infrastructure, and implement and evaluate the final interventions. The investigators will engage the interdisciplinary care team and patient (or their caregivers) to ensure treatment trajectories match the anticipated course for working diagnoses (or symptoms), and whether they are in line with patient and clinician expectations. The investigators will use an Interrupted time series (ITS) design to assess impact on diagnostic errors that lead to patient harm. The investigators will perform quantitative and qualitative evaluations using implementation science principles to understand if the interventions worked, and why or why not.

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) Treated With Abobotulinumtoxin A
Description

Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS) is a painful condition affecting runners and it is caused by a reversible increase in pressure within a closed compartment in the leg. Currently, to diagnose CECS, a large needle is placed into the muscle to measure pressure, which is invasive and painful. After diagnosis, the gold standard of treatment is surgery, which is also invasive, involves a prolonged return to play, and has a significant number of treatment failures. A growing literature has suggested alternative methods to both diagnosis and treatment that include the use of ultrasound to investigate muscle stiffness with shear wave elastography (SWE), and treatment with botulinum toxin injection into the muscle. The investigators propose a single-site randomized clinical trial to investigate the use of abobotulinumtoxinA in the treatment of CECS. Researchers also look to develop a non-invasive method for the diagnosis of CECS using SWE. To the researchers' knowledge, this is the first randomized study investigating the medication to treat this cause. The study will take place at Emory's outpatient sports medicine clinic. Potential participants will primarily be identified and recruited from the departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Orthopedics, Physical Therapy, and Sports medicine as a part of regular clinical care. Participants will be included in the randomized portion of the study if they meet the previously established diagnostic criteria for CECS with compartmental pressure testing. This would be a landmark study to provide evidence for the use of an abobotulinumtoxinA in the treatment of CECS, leading to the potential avoidance of a surgical procedure. It could also change the means of diagnosis without the use of painful and invasive needle pressure testing that would provide patients and athletes with ease of care.
