Leg rotation treatment for sciatica
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a two-leg rotation technique to relieve sciatica caused by lumbar disc problems. It may help if you have pain that travels from your lower back down past your knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have a disc problem in your lower back
- You have sciatica pain that goes down to your knee
- You have not had surgery on your lower back
- You do not have a severe disc injury causing loss of bladder or bowel control or muscle weakness
- You do not have piriformis syndrome (a muscle-related condition that mimics sciatica)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a specific back/nerve pain injection (an epidural injection) can help people with acute sciatica. You may qualify if your sciatica started a few weeks ago and your leg pain is still quite severe.
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 trial tests whether physical therapy can help people with a specific type of disc herniation (postero-lateral) by improving pain, stability, walking, and daily function. It may be a good fit if you have low back pain that spreads to your leg or stays in your back.
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 applying traction to the lower back (in either a face-down or face-up position) improves leg pain and function in people with nerve compression from a lumbar disc herniation. The traction is tailored to each patient's specific movement preference, which may offer more targeted relief.
This study tests whether combining three physical therapy techniques—spine mobilization, leg movements, and spinal traction—can reduce pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the lower back caused by a bulging disc. If it works, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
