Myofascial release for chronic low back pain in CrossFit athletes
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a hands-on or tool-assisted muscle release technique can reduce long-term low back pain and improve posture in people who do CrossFit. If you have had low back pain for at least 12 weeks and do CrossFit regularly, this study may help you find relief.

This trial tests whether adding dry cupping therapy to McKenzie back exercises helps people with long-lasting, non-specific low back pain. It may help reduce pain and improve back function, depending on whether you fit the study’s safety and eligibility rules.
This study tests whether a special stretching technique for the connective tissue in your lower back can help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low back pain (pain lasting 3 months or more). You would attend physiotherapy sessions and do regular stretches.
This study tests whether a combination of guided movement exercises and “fascial manipulation” (hands-on work on soft tissue) can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It may be an option if your back pain has not improved with non-surgery treatments or if you have post-surgery back pain.
This trial tests whether injecting sore “trigger points” in low back muscles helps improve chronic low back pain. It compares treatments in people with specific low back muscle pain patterns and excludes several other causes of pain.
This trial tests two different kinesio taping methods for people with chronic low back pain. The goal is to see how taping affects the fascia (connective tissue) in the lower back and whether it can help relieve pain.
This trial tests two hands-on therapies—dry cupping and a special massage technique—to see which works better for long-term low back pain caused by muscle knots. You may be able to join if your pain has lasted over 3 months and you have trigger points.
