Clinical Trial: Energy Specific Far Infrared Radiation Treatment for Sciatica

Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Using Energy Specific Far Infrared Radiation Treatment for Sciatica.

Brief Summary: A preliminary study to determine the use of far infrared radiation for the treatment of back pain

Detailed Summary:

Sciatica is created by joint misalignment, muscle spasm and inflammation. Generally, sciatica is a combination of lower back pain, pain radiating into the buttock and possibly down the leg.

Far infrared radiation of the sciatic nerve, coupled with the stretching of the spinal cord, is a promising non-invasive method for treating sciatica.

Current Primary Outcome: The primary end point is to determine the therapeutic effects of far infrared radiation on the Sciatic nerve. [ Time Frame: 2 years and 6 months ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Far infrared treatment for other pain syndromes [ Time Frame: 2 years and 6 months ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
