Spinal mobilizations and exercises for lumbar spinal stenosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle spinal movements (Maitland and Mulligan techniques) combined with exercises to open the spinal canal can reduce pain and improve function in people with lumbar spinal stenosis caused by a slipped disc.

This study tests whether combining high-intensity laser therapy with hands-on spinal mobilization techniques can reduce chronic low back pain that has lasted at least 3 months. The goal is to see if this combination approach helps you feel better and move more easily.
This study tests whether combining spinal mobilization (gentle hands-on therapy to move your spine) with leg movements—with or without a technique called neural flossing—helps relieve lower back pain that radiates down one leg with numbness and weakness. The goal is to find which approach works best for your symptoms.
This study tests gentle back movements (not forceful adjustments) to see if they help relieve low back pain that has lasted more than 3 months. If you have low back pain without leg pain, this may be an option to try.
This study compares two gentle hand techniques (Maitland and Mulligan) to see which one better relieves leg pain from a pinched nerve in the lower back. If you have chronic sciatica-type pain, these treatments may help without surgery.
This trial tests if moving the neck and upper back joints can reduce pain and improve daily life for people with nagging neck pain (lasting more than 4 weeks). It aims to find a simple hands-on treatment to help you feel better and move easier.
