Study of a back manipulation for lumbar disc herniation
This study tests a specific type of back manipulation (Lever Positioning Manipulation) to understand how it affects the discs in the lower spine. It may help people with a herniated disc at L4-L5 find a non-surgical treatment option.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 20–60 - NCT07184554Recruiting
Nerve block for chronic back pain from disc herniation
This study tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) can help relieve chronic low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc at L4-L5 or L5-S1, when other treatments have not worked.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT05029726RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing medicine during back surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests a regional anesthesia (numbing medicine given near nerves) during minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps control pain around surgery and improves recovery comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT02257723Recruiting
Testing combined Korean herbal and therapy for hospitalized spine or joint pain
This trial studies whether a combined complementary treatment approach helps people who are hospitalized for spine or joint problems. It may help reduce the types of pain that come from those areas.
Seoul, Gangnam-GuAges Any age - NCT05963815Recruiting
Spine surgery follow-up using online patient-reported questionnaires
This study looks at recovery after planned (elective) surgery for common lower-back (“lumbar”) spine problems like slipped discs, disc bulges, and narrowing of the spinal canal. You may be asked to complete online questionnaires, and the study uses your answers to understand symptoms and outcomes after surgery.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–80 - NCT06143813Recruiting
Precision treatment for lumbar nerve pain with targeted block
This trial tests if a targeted nerve root injection can improve outcomes for people with persistent leg pain from a compressed nerve in the lower back, with the goal of tailoring surgery more precisely.
Aarhus CAges 18 years+ - NCT07837427Recruiting
Different water pressures during minimally invasive back surgery
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07799155Recruiting
Epidural steroid injection for leg pain from nerve compression
This study tests a common pain-relieving injection for people with nerve pain in the lower back and leg caused by a pinched nerve. It aims to see how well the injection reduces pain and improves quality of life.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07763522Enrolling by invitation
Measuring ankle strength in people with herniated disc weakness
This study tests a new way to measure ankle strength in people who have weakness from a herniated disc in the lower back. The goal is to confirm the measurement tool works well for tracking such weakness.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - NCT07722117Recruiting
Reiki for pain after back surgery
This trial tests if Reiki, a gentle hands-on energy therapy, can help reduce pain after lumbar (lower back) surgery. It may offer a drug-free option to help you feel better during recovery.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06651775Recruiting
High-Intensity Laser Therapy for Chronic Leg Pain from Herniated Disc
This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or surgery.
Ankara, CankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07515287Enrolling by invitation
Pilates for Back Pain Recovery in Middle-Aged Women
This study tests whether Pilates exercises can help women aged 45–60 with chronic lower back disc problems improve their balance, leg strength, and body awareness. Pilates focuses on core stability and controlled movement, which may help restore function lost due to the disc herniation.
Kahramanmaraş, onikişubatAges 45–60 - NCT06075979Recruiting
Microbes and spine health: a surgical study
This study looks at whether certain microbes (tiny living things) are linked to spine problems like herniated discs or narrow spinal canals. It involves people who need spine surgery, and the findings might help explain why some spines wear out faster.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–85 - NCT07413302Recruiting
Predicting recovery after back surgery for leg weakness
This study looks at which factors before surgery help predict how well leg weakness improves after a single-level microdiskectomy (minimally invasive back surgery for a slipped disk). It may help you understand what to expect if you are having this procedure.
KavalaAges 18 years+ - NCT07319156Recruiting
Arm position sense test in cervical radiculopathy
This study tests how well people with cervical radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain) can sense their arm's position. It aims to understand if this condition affects your body's awareness of where your arm is in space.
