Various treatment options are available to treat LBP but with modest outcomes. Researchers have indicated that the use of a weak magnetic field has immediate and long-term benefits. Limited research has been done to ascertain the efficacy of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) for chronic low back pain (CLBP). Objective: To investigate the efficacy of PEMF therapy combined with exercise on cases of CLBP Study design: A Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial. Methods: 42 patients (22male, 20 female), mean age 42 years, divided into one of two groups: treatment group and control group. The primary outcome measure was (NPRS), Secondary outcome measures were RMDQ-24, PSQI- 6, GPE, and DASS-21 The outcomes were taken at baseline, then 20 minutes after intervention at weeks 3, 6, 9 and 13. Statistical Analysis: A paired t-test was used to compare the differences before and after the interventions for each of the two groups the treatment and control, in addition, an independent t-test was used to compare the two groups at three moments in time: before the intervention, during the intervention weeks 3 , 6 , 9 and at the completion of the treatment week 13. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: A statistically significant improvement in NPRS and RMDQ-24 score for the treatment group at weeks 3,6,9 and 13 (p < 0.05), For the control group there was a significant improvement in NPRS at week 6,9 and week13 (p < 0.05).The analysis of the RMDQ-24 score for the control group, showed no statistically significant difference in the RMDQ-24 score at weeks 3 and 6 However, there was a statistically significant improvement in the RMDQ-24 score in weeks 9 and 13 (p < 0.05), There was a statistically significant improvement in depression and stress scores in the treatment group mostly at week 13 (p < 0.05) For the control group there was a significant improvement in depression and stress scores at weeks 6,9 and 13 (p < 0.05). The analysis showed a significant difference between groups reported in stress score at weeks 9 and 13 only (p < 0.05), However, no difference between groups reported in PSQI-6 and GPE. Conclusion: PEMF therapy improves the outcome of CLBP patients. However, it is not the superior to other treatment options. On the other hand, these findings make it obvious that CLBP is a complex condition and difficult to identify an effective treatment. Therefore, each patient needs to be assessed to tailor a suitable treatment plan.4 0Item Restricted A Continuous Authentication Architecture Based on Blockchain Technology for Internet of Things Environment(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2020) Al Naji, Fatimah Hussain; زقروب، رشيد5 0Item Restricted A cultural planning approach to physical planning in Dammam Metropolitan Area, Saudi Arabia(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2021) Al-Abbad, Nada Abdullah Abbad; ابو بكر، إسماعيل ريمي19 0Item Restricted A Decision Support System for Petrol Stations’ Operation and Maintenance in Saudi Arabia(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2022) Abdrabalnabi, Amin Ibrahim; Qasem, Altayeb4 0Item Restricted A Feasibility Study of Solar PV System Applications on Office Buildings in Industrial City of Jubail, Saudi Arabia(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2022) Mohammed Ahmed Alghashmari; Almaziad, Faris Abdullah5 0Item Restricted A Genera Management Plan for a Potential Coastal Natural Resources Park(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1993) Al-Shehry, Ali Rezhen; Peronilla, Felix2 0Item Restricted A General Management Plan for a Potential & Coastal Natural Resources Park(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1993) Al-Shehry, Ali Rezhan; Felix, Peronilla22 0Item Restricted A Landscape Planning for the Jubail Marine Wildlife Sanctuary Terrestrial Area Using Geographic Information Systems(GIS)(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2001) Al-Sulbi, Ali Omer Mohammed; Al-Taisan, Abdulbaqi Mohammed4 0Item Restricted A Lightweight and Secure Anonymity Preserving Protocol for WBAN(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2021) Alqudaihi, Kawther Saleh Ali; Almuhaideb, Abdullah0 0Item Restricted A Modern Method for Preparation and Characterization of Some Novel Pyridazine Derivatives by Using Eco-Friendly Ultrasounds Irradiation(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2021) Al Saeed, Maryam Khalid Abdullah; Abubshai, Samar Abdulwahab; Abubshait, Haya Abdulwahab4 0Item Restricted A Multivariate City Classification A Tool for Urban Development in Saudi Cities(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1999) Al-Hamoud, Abdul Hakim; Banna, Omar5 0Item Restricted A new sense of history: Vision and form in Brithish drama after 1960 with special reference to Barnes, Bond, Osborne and Shaffer(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1995) Al-Dossary, Faiza Khalid Hammad; Mousa, Fatma Mahmoud1 0Item Restricted A Novel Blockchain Weighted Majority Consensus Algorithm (WMCA) For Enhancing the Security Level of Internet of Things(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2020) Alhejazi, Manal Mohamed Abdullatif; Mustafa, RamiNowadays, the internet developed rapidly around the world, according to this development the use of Internet of Things (IoT) and its applications grows in human life. IoT is defined as various heterogeneous objects that are connected to the internet and can identify themselves to other devices. Although the IoT holds a lot of chances for improving our life, but still it contains a lot of serious risks. This leads to focus on securing the IoT and develop security techniques that can increase the security level of IoT. Thus, it is important to find a way to secure IoT devices. A recent technology called blockchain is considered as a new move in the internet world. The blockchain is a peer to peer connections distributed system that performs transactions securely by using consensus algorithms without the need of trusted third party. Recently, the blockchain is used to secure IoT networks, but the researches in this area are not enough. This thesis first investigates the most used consensus algorithms in blockchain systems and then proposes a novel blockchain Weighted Majority Consensus Algorithm (WMCA) based on weighted majority algorithm in ensemble learning. Also, it defines the methodology, the pseudo code and the implantation of WMCA and discusses the WMCA evaluation and results. The obtained result shows that WMCA can detect participating nodes status. Then based on this detection, security actions will be taken to secure the system. As result, the WMCA will contribute in enhancing the security level of Blockchain based IoT systems.16 0Item Restricted A Novel Machine Learning–Based Technique to Detect Spam Email Attacks(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2020) Alqahtani, Faizah Hassan H; الحيدري، فهد عبد السلام11 0Item Restricted A Numerical Simulation for a Distribution of Univariate Complicated Probabilistic Transformations: A Computational Statistical Study for the Random Heat Equation(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 2020) Almutairi, Ibtesam Shafi; Elshekhipy, Abdelhafeez Ahmed0 0Item Restricted A Plan to Minimize Flood Hazard for Hafr Al - Batin City(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1998) Al-Aqeel, Khalid Badi; Awad, Mohammed5 0Item Restricted A Retrospective Clinical Study of Erythrasma in the Dermatology Clinic of King Fahd Hospital of the University(Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, 1998) Al-Afif, Khalid Abdullah; Al-Jabre, Salih0 0
