About this study
Official title: Using Wearable Monitoring Devices for Assessing Efficacy of Epidural Steroid Injection in Patients With Low Back Pain
Low back pain (Lower Back Pain ) is extremely common , affecting more than 80 % of the general population in the modern world , one is considered the most common cause of disability in people under the age of 45. Lower back pain represents a social problem and substantial economies in Western countries , also considered a first cause for orthopedic consultation. In recent decades , a number of methods developed for assessing the functional status of patients with low back pain , and over twenty -five generic methods available today for use in pain clinics , orthopedic clinics and in clinical trials A large part of the measures used to monitor the response of patients to treatment of low back pain based on self-report questionnaires ,on patients' pain intensity , quality of life measures , and functional status In recent years a number of wearable monitoring devices designed to help people assess the progress of sports activity , by measuring steps , pulse , and quality of sleep , in this study we will use these measures to assess treatment efficacy after steroid injection to the epidural space in patients with low back pain . And compare the results to those taken from subjective self-report questionnaires .

Low back pain (Lower Back Pain) is extremely common, affecting more than 80% of the general population in the modern world, one is considered the most common cause of disability in people under the age of 45. 2 Lower back pain represents a social problem and substantial economies in Western countries, such as also considered a first cause orthopedic advice ahead. 3 Over the past decades, developed a number of methods for assessing the functional status of patients with low back pain, 4-7 and over twenty-five generic methods available today for use in pain clinics, orthopedic clinics and in clinical trials. 8 A large part of the measures used to monitor the response of patients to treat low back pain based on self-report questionnaires on patients' pain intensity, quality of life measures, and functional status.measures which relate to such measures - reduction of pain, reduction in the consumption of medication relieve pain, improved mood, improved daily function, improved sleep patterns, back in daily life and work, a reduction in the consumption of health system resources, and reduction in disability benefits, sick leave, early retirement, and more. The existence of multiple assessment tools of this type suggests that there is no a single tool valid and reliable for assessing the severity of low back pain and its response to treatment. In addition, there is a problematic depending on the patient's self-report is subjective and often biased because of the possibility of secondary gain illness.
In recent years there has been great progress in the use of technologies of wearable monitoring both by the general population as part of the tracking of daily living and sports, as well as in a clinical setting. The use of cheap and simple devices give the user information about the number of steps performed during the day measuring heart rate and sleep quality .
In the present work the investigators will make use of wearable and affordable device that measures a number of steps and sleep quality monitoring recovery after epidural steroid injection for patients with low back pain. The indices will be accepted through this monitoring will be compared with subjective reports of participants and physician's assessment about the success of the treatment. investigators Will use the wearable monitoring type Xiaomi Mi Band for measuring steps and sleep quality the device was chosen because it is cheap, easy to use, has long battery life (two weeks between charges), and the participants can continue to wear it every hour of the day and while bathing. as a measure of subjective filled questionnaire by the participants,the investigators selected the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) . This questionnaire addresses aspects of wider life of the patient and is composed of 10 sections: pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, socializing, travel and employment.Each section includes values from 0 to 5 , with higher values representing higher functional limitation . The final score is obtained using a standard scoring .

| Xiaomi Mi Band | Experimental | participants will wear Xiaomi Mi Band .the device measures their daily steps number before and after epidural steroid injection for treatment of low back pain. Receives: Device: Xiaomi Mi Band |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
number of steps .
the investigators will be using the xiaomi mi band to measure the number of steps the participants make daily. from the day of making the decision for treatment (steroid injection for epidural space) until four weeks after treatment. this measures will be compared to the score taken from Oswestry disability index (ODI) Before treatment and on day 3,7,14 and 28 after treatment. Evaluating the treatment response by the treating pain physician using a scale from zero to ten, where (zero no response an 10 great response).
Measured: from the day of making the decision for treatment until four weeks after treatment.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
number of steps . (time frame: from the day of making the decision for treatment until four weeks after treatment.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02830607, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
