Hip flexor stretching for chronic low back pain
Treatments studied
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific hip flexor stretching program can help reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain not caused by a specific injury, this could be a non-drug option to explore.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
