Risk factors for back muscles in spinal slippage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at back muscles in people with a spine condition where one bone slips forward over another. It aims to find factors that affect these muscles, which might help in planning treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the ligament in your lower back to understand how lumbar spinal stenosis develops. It involves analyzing tissue samples and may help find better ways to treat this condition.
This study compares two types of spine surgery for a common condition where a lower back bone slips forward. It aims to see which surgery works better to relieve pain and improve function.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for degenerative spondylolisthesis (a “slipped” lower-back vertebra) to see which works better for pain and walking. You may be considered if you need surgery after months of non-surgical treatments.
This study tests whether special hip stretching exercises help reduce pain and improve movement in women with a slipped vertebra in the lower back. Researchers will measure whether this hands-on treatment reduces disability and helps you move better.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive back surgery for patients with a single slipped vertebra in the lower back that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to find out which procedure—endoscopic decompression or MIS-TLIF (a fusion technique)—provides better relief and recovery.
This trial studies walking patterns and back muscle activity in older adults undergoing spine surgery for conditions like scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs. It aims to understand how these conditions affect movement and recovery.
