Psoas muscle release for recent low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether releasing the psoas muscle (a deep muscle in your lower back and hip) can help reduce recent, non-specific low back pain. It's designed for people aged 18 to 30 who've had low back pain for less than a month.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
