Different positions for low back pain traction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how different body positions affect the results of a treatment called mechanical traction, which gently stretches the spine to relieve low back pain. It aims to find the best position for this therapy to help people with long-lasting back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a motorized lumbar support device to see if it can relieve non-specific lower back pain. It may help if your pain gets better with gentle stretching or pulling of the spine (called manual traction).
This study is testing two types of hands-on physical therapy treatments for persistent low back pain. It aims to see if these treatments help reduce pain and improve function in adults with long-lasting back pain that is not caused by a specific injury or disease.
This study compares two treatments for low back pain that has lasted more than six weeks: a special exercise program and a hands-on therapy that targets muscle knots (trigger points). The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves function.
This study tests whether a single session of TENS (a pain-relieving electrical treatment applied to the skin) can reduce stiffness in the lower back muscles of young adults with chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain, this treatment might help relax tight muscles.
This study compares two ways of stretching the lower back using a special table (traction) to relieve sciatica from a herniated disc. The goal is to find which position works best based on your specific symptoms.
