Nerve stretching in healthy adults: pain threshold study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle nerve stretching technique (called 'slump neurodynamic mobilization') in healthy adults to see if it changes how they sense pain. Researchers want to learn how much pressure feels uncomfortable before and after the exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 64 years old.
- You have never had a nerve stretching treatment called 'neurodynamic mobilization' before.
- You can read and speak French fluently.
- You do not have any current nerve pain, numbness, or tingling in your legs.
- You have not had a back or leg injury in the past year that kept you from daily activities.
- You have no major surgeries or serious conditions affecting your spine or legs.

This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation device can reduce pelvic pain. You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: stimulation over the spine, over a nerve bundle, or a placebo (sham) treatment. The study aims to find a new treatment option for people whose pain has not responded to standard therapies.
This study tests how well a simple physical exam maneuver (the slump lateral bending test) can identify nerve-related leg pain (lumbar radicular pain). If you have symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness down your leg that might be coming from a nerve, this study could help improve diagnosis.
This trial compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques—one that stretches the sciatic nerve and one that moves it gently—to see which works better for sciatica pain that has lasted several months. You'll receive one of these treatments to help reduce leg pain and improve your ability to walk and move.
This trial tests a combination of gentle nerve gliding exercises and muscle relaxation techniques for people with chronic leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests how sensitive healthy people's nerves are to mild electrical stimulation on the arm. It aims to understand normal nerve response and could help improve treatments for nerve-related conditions.
This study tests whether gentle stretching exercises targeting the sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help reduce leg pain and improve how your body perceives pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to standard care to see if it works.
