Cup therapy with McKenzie method for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a treatment that combines dry cupping therapy with the McKenzie exercise method can reduce pain for people with long-lasting low back pain. It is designed for patients who have had pain for more than 3 months and could help find new ways to manage pain.
