Movement control therapy for back and leg pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a movement retraining approach for people with chronic low back pain caused by a slipped disc (L4-L5 or L5-S1) that also causes leg symptoms. It looks at whether this therapy helps improve movement and reduce pain.
