Brace and exercise for spondylolisthesis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with grade 1 or 2 spondylolisthesis (mild to moderate slippage)
- You have had nerve-related leg pain or long-lasting low back pain for more than 3 months
- You do not need surgery and have not had back surgery before
- You do not have other conditions like inflammatory arthritis, diabetes-related nerve damage, or heart disease
- You have not received this exact type of exercise therapy before

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 trial compares wearing a back brace (“orthosis”) versus not wearing one after surgery for a traumatic back fracture. It looks at whether the brace improves recovery and reduces problems after the operation.
This trial tests whether a single session of physiotherapy helps people recover after surgery for a slipped vertebra in the lower back (lumbar spondylolisthesis). You might join if you had a one-level fusion and meet a few simple health criteria.
This trial tests how different back braces affect how your spine moves. It is looking for healthy young adults to see if these braces change the way you bend or move your spine.
This trial compares two types of exercises (upper back mobility vs. hip mobility) combined with core strengthening to see which better reduces low back pain from lumbar spondylosis (wear and tear in the lower spine). It may help you if you've had pain for over 3 months and have not had spine or hip surgery.
This trial compares a newer, “cortical bone trajectory” method with more traditional open surgery and a minimally invasive approach for treating certain low-back slips. It looks at short-term outcomes to see which approach helps patients recover better and relieve leg symptoms.
