Safe care for low grade back stress in teen soccer players
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a conservative approach (like rest and gradual activity) is safe for teenage soccer players with a mild stress reaction in the lower back bones. It is designed for young athletes who have pain with sports and want to avoid more aggressive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether a soft spinal brace (or no brace) helps children and teens with a new stress-type injury in the lower spine seen on MRI. It aims to see if bracing improves pain and healing when there is no fracture line.
This trial tests whether a bone stimulator device can help heal a specific type of spinal stress fracture (spondylolysis) in people aged 16 to 40 who are active in sports and plan to do physical therapy.
This trial compares two types of exercises (upper back mobility vs. hip mobility) combined with core strengthening to see which better reduces low back pain from lumbar spondylosis (wear and tear in the lower spine). It may help you if you've had pain for over 3 months and have not had spine or hip surgery.
This trial tests a stabilization training program using biofeedback (a device that shows you how your muscles are working) to treat chronic low back pain. It may help you strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce your pain.
This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests if a program of therapeutic exercise and education can help people with long-lasting low back pain. It focuses on improving movement and reducing disability.
