Massage and core training for low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining connective tissue massage with core strengthening exercises helps reduce pain and improve function in people with mechanical low back pain. It involves supervised sessions twice a week for 8 weeks plus daily home exercises.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 55 years old.

- You can attend supervised sessions twice a week for 8 weeks and do daily home exercises.
- You have not had surgery on your lower spine.
- You do not have other conditions like inflammatory arthritis, tumors, infections, neurological disorders, or diabetes that affect the lower back.

This study tests a percussive massage treatment (using a device that provides tapping or vibration) with a heat attachment for people with long-lasting low back pain. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether a specific type of exercise that strengthens your core (the muscles around your belly and back) helps people with long-lasting low back pain. It aims to see if these exercises reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether adding electrical stimulation to a core exercise program helps relieve chronic low back pain. You would attend two sessions a week for six weeks.
This study tests whether a special type of massage (connective tissue massage) can help relieve chronic low back pain. If you have had low back pain for months, this treatment might offer a drug-free way to reduce discomfort.
This study tests whether doing core (stability) exercises along with simple cognitive (thinking) tasks can reduce long-lasting low back pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and you can safely take part in exercise.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for chronic mechanical lower back pain: lumbar stabilization exercises (focused on core strength) versus muscular chain therapy (full-body movement patterns). You'll participate in one of these exercise programs to see which helps reduce your pain more effectively.
