Motor control and X-ray in chronic low back pain study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how your motor control (how your muscles and brain work together) relates to X-ray findings in people with long-term low back pain. It aims to better understand the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two gentle exercise approaches—mind-body Pilates and pressure biofeedback—to see which helps more with chronic low back pain. You'll attend supervised sessions and learn techniques to improve your core strength and reduce pain.
This study looks at how well people with ongoing low back pain can control their lower back and hip muscles. The goal is to understand how these movement patterns may be related to their pain. This could help find better ways to treat chronic back pain.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This study checks whether a therapist’s judgment about how your back controls movement matches objective measurements (more technical testing). It may help improve how low back pain rehabilitation is assessed and planned.
This research study uses MRI brain scans to understand how chronic low back pain changes the way your brain processes touch and movement. You'll interact with a special touch-sensitive surface while your brain activity is recorded, helping researchers develop better pain treatments.
This study tests if a therapy that uses special sensors to help you relax your back muscles (called surface EMG biofeedback) can reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing low back pain for at least 3 months, you may be able to join.
