Hip flexibility and chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the flexibility of hip muscles relates to pain and disability in people with chronic low back pain. It may help understand if improving hip flexibility can reduce back pain and improve daily function.

This trial tests whether a specific hip flexor stretching program can help reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain not caused by a specific injury, this could be a non-drug option to explore.
This study tests a muscle training program for the hips to see if it reduces chronic low back pain. It focuses on strengthening the muscles that flex and extend the hip, which may help support the lower back and decrease pain.
This trial measures how well you can use your arms and how strong your breathing and other muscles are if you have chronic low back pain. It aims to understand the links between these factors to improve future treatments.
This study tests whether a body awareness program can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with chronic low back pain. It compares the program to usual care to see if it can also help with the way your brain processes pain signals.
This study measures the strength and function of ankle muscles in people with chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Understanding how ankle muscles work may help explain why some people develop long-term low back pain.
This trial tests a physical therapy stretching method called PNF on the hip and hamstring muscles to see if it reduces chronic low back pain. It may help if you have had non-specific low back pain for over 3 months with tightness in your hips or legs.
