This study focuses on people with long-lasting low back pain that likely comes from the small “facet” joints in the lower spine. It aims to better understand brain, psychological, and biology changes to help optimize treatment for this type of back pain.
This study looks at the tissue in your lower back using ultrasound and physical exams. It tests a treatment to see if it helps people with new or long-term low back pain, and also compares results to people without pain.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study checks whether a therapist’s judgment about how your back controls movement matches objective measurements (more technical testing). It may help improve how low back pain rehabilitation is assessed and planned.
This trial tests whether spinal manipulation (a hands-on treatment to gently move your spine) can quickly help people with recent low back pain. It's a short-term study that uses online questionnaires to see how well it works.
This study looks at how people feel about spinal manipulation therapy for long-term low back pain. It's for adults who have had pain in their lower back for more than three months and want to share their views on this type of treatment.
