Physiotherapy session after lower back fusion surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial studies how a single session of physiotherapy (exercises and hands-on care) affects patients who have recently had lumbar fusion surgery for spondylolisthesis. You will have one physiotherapy session, and the study will measure how it helps with pain and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have had a single-level lumbar fusion surgery (joining two vertebrae in your lower back) because of spondylolisthesis (a condition where one vertebra slips forward).
- You have not had any previous surgeries on your lower back.
- You do not have other lower back problems that needed surgery.
- You do not have nerve problems unrelated to your spondylolisthesis.
- You do not have conditions like inflammatory diseases, infections, cancer, or neuromuscular disorders.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests a less invasive spinal surgery using an endoscope (a small camera) to treat certain spine problems without fusing bones together, which may help you recover faster. It is for adults with specific types of back or leg pain from conditions like a failed previous fusion, a slipped vertebra, or a curved spine with narrowing.
This trial compares two approaches for chronic low back pain caused by worn discs: lumbar fusion surgery versus a structured multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. It aims to see which treatment provides better long-term relief and function.
This trial tests an early rehabilitation program for people having lumbar spinal fusion surgery to see if it helps them get back to daily life faster. It may be a good option if you live in Copenhagen or Frederiksberg and have had low back pain for more than three months.
This trial tests whether a spinal fusion surgery is better than staying with non-surgical treatments for people with long-term, severe low back pain from worn-out discs in the lower spine. It aims to find out which approach offers better pain relief and quality of life.
This trial tests if internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy can help people recover better after lumbar fusion surgery by reducing pain, strengthening back muscles, and improving outlook on recovery. You can participate from home using WiFi.
