Movement therapy for nerve pain in the lower back and leg
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a specific movement training approach to see if it can improve symptoms of nerve pain in the lower back and leg, caused by a disc problem. The therapy focuses on improving how you control your movement to reduce pain and disability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a program called Move-MORE that combines exercise and mindfulness to help people with nerve-related leg pain (sciatica) that has lasted at least 3 months. You would use the program at home, attend weekly video sessions for 8 weeks, and complete questionnaires and daily surveys to see if the program improves your pain and quality of life.
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 tests whether combining three physical therapy techniques—spine mobilization, leg movements, and spinal traction—can reduce pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the lower back caused by a bulging disc. If it works, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy for low back pain and leg pain caused by nerve irritation (called lumbar radiculopathy). One group gets standard spinal movement treatment, and the other gets that treatment plus a technique called 'neural flossing' that helps the nerves slide smoothly. The goal is to see if adding neural flossing gives better pain relief and improvement.
This study tests two types of exercises to help reduce pain and improve movement in people with long-lasting leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It compares two different exercise approaches to see which works better.
This study tests a treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
