Understanding back muscle control in disc injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain controls back muscles in people with chronic disc injuries. It compares patients before surgery or physical therapy to healthy controls to better understand muscle function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a device that closes the gap in the spinal disc after surgery for a herniated disc. It looks at how well people recover and return to their normal activities.
This study looks at how fear of movement relates to physical function in people with long-term low back pain from a herniated disc. It may help understand how to improve daily activities.
This study looks at people who have a herniated disc in their lower back that is pressing on a nerve, but who have no back pain or leg pain. The goal is to understand this 'silent' condition and why some people have no symptoms.
This trial tests whether physical therapy can help people with a specific type of disc herniation (postero-lateral) by improving pain, stability, walking, and daily function. It may be a good fit if you have low back pain that spreads to your leg or stays in your back.
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 trial compares two types of exercise programs to see which one improves your sense of body position and walking pattern. It may help if you have long-lasting low back pain that gets worse with movement.
