Trans Cranial Direct Current Stimulation Along With Craniosacral Therapy on Sleep Disturbances in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Sleep problems in patients with CLBP are a very common complication and is the most neglected part of the management. Though previous literature suggested that sleep problems need to be managed in patients with CLBP, no physical therapy or manual therapy techniques has been checked for their efficacy to manage the same. Therefore, there is a need to check the efficacy of various physical therapy and manual therapy techniques so that sleep problems associated with CLBP can be managed effectively by physical means. The main purpose of the study is to check the efficacy of tDCS and CST to improve sleep, pain and quality of life in patients with CLBP.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sleep Disturbance Chronic Low-back Pain Device: Trans cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Other: Craniosacral therapy (CST) Other: tDCS+ CST Not Applicable

Study Design
Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 60 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Masking: Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Efficacy of Trans Cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Along With Craniosacral Therapy (CST) on Sleep Disturbances in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP)
Estimated Study Start Date : June 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 30, 2021
Estimated Study Completion Date : February 2, 2021
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: tDCS-Group
Participants of this arm will receive tDCS and Conventional therapy for 2 weeks.
Device: Trans cranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
Active tDCS will be applied for 20 minutes with 2 mA intensity. Anode will be placed at left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and cathode will be placed at the right cerebellar cortex.

Experimental: CST- Group
Participants of this arm will receive CST and Conventional therapy for 2 weeks.
Other: Craniosacral therapy (CST)
Craniosacral therapy will be given to all the participants which includes release of all major diaphragm, frontal lift, parietal lift, occipital lift, CV4 and dural tube rocking.

Active Comparator: combination of tDCS and CST
Participants of this arm will receive CST+ tDCS and Conventional therapy for 2 weeks.
Other: tDCS+ CST
This group will receive tDCS along with CST

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Polysomnography [ Time Frame: changes between baseline to 2 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    Polysomnographic parameters will be recorded.

  2. Pittsburgh sleep quality Index scale. [ Time Frame: changes between baseline to 2 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    Qualitative assessment of sleep will be recorded by this scale


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Modified Oswestry disability index [ Time Frame: changes between baseline to 2 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    Chronic low back pain-related disability will be recorded

  2. NPRS [ Time Frame: changes between baseline to 2 weeks and 6 weeks ]
    Pain intensity will be recorded
