Relaxing muscle exercises after spine surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured “progressive muscle relaxation” routine can reduce pain and help recovery after spine surgery. You may be asked to learn and practice the relaxation steps even if you’ve never done them before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You recently had spine surgery (like discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, or foraminotomy)
- You agree to learn and practice progressive muscle relaxation exercises during the study
- You have no diagnosed nerve (neurologic), mental health (psychiatric), or movement/bone (orthopedic) problems that would stop you from learning or doing the exercises
- You have not learned or practiced progressive muscle relaxation exercises before

This study tests a digital, person-centered rehab program to help people recovering from surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis become more physically active. It aims to see if an online program can improve recovery and quality of life after surgery.
This trial studies whether doing back exercises before spine surgery helps improve recovery. If you are having spine surgery and can safely do physical therapy, you may be able to join.
This study is tracking how active people are before and after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (a common cause of back and leg pain in older adults). It aims to see if activity monitoring can help improve recovery.
This study tests whether adding pain neuroscience education to standard physical therapy before spinal surgery helps reduce pain and disability after surgery. This could help you recover better by understanding how pain works and learning coping strategies before your operation.
This study looks at how muscle degeneration relates to nerve-related symptoms in people with chronic low back pain. You may be eligible if you’ve tried non-surgical care but still need surgery to relieve nerve pressure.
This trial tests a program to help people recover better after back surgery for conditions like spinal stenosis or sciatica. It may help you get back to daily activities faster.
