Understanding back muscle control in disc injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.

This trial tests if a special exercise program that uses visual feedback helps people recover better after surgery for a herniated disc in the lower back. It may improve your recovery and reduce pain.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for chronic low back pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower spine. It aims to see which treatment better strengthens the back muscles and reduces pain.
This trial tests whether a special type of guided back and leg exercise works better than standard exercise to improve movement and reduce pain in people with a herniated (slipped) disc in the lower back. If you have had leg pain for at least four weeks and can attend therapy sessions, this study may help you recover more fully.
