Trial of two exercises for leg pain from sciatica
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two simple exercises (SNAG and SNME) to see which works better for people with long-lasting sciatic leg pain. If you have had pain going down one leg for over 3 months and have not had treatment in the last month, this study may help find relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques—one that stretches the sciatic nerve and one that moves it gently—to see which works better for sciatica pain that has lasted several months. You'll receive one of these treatments to help reduce leg pain and improve your ability to walk and move.
This study tests whether gentle stretching exercises targeting the sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help reduce leg pain and improve how your body perceives pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to standard care to see if it works.
This study tests whether a specialized physical therapy technique that gently mobilizes the sciatic nerve can reduce low back pain that radiates down the leg. If you have this type of pain, this trial may help you recover mobility and reduce discomfort.
This study tests whether combining a mild electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve with specific exercises can reduce leg pain from sciatica. It is for people whose nerve-related leg pain has lasted over 6 months and is at least a 3 out of 10 in intensity.
This study compares two types of nerve stretching exercises plus mild electrical pulses to see which better relieves low back pain that travels down your leg. It is for people with recent leg pain and no nerve damage or history of surgery.
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.
