Trunk stabilization plus knee rehab for knee-spine syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding trunk stabilization exercises to standard knee osteoarthritis rehab can improve outcomes for people with both knee pain and low back pain. It may help if you have moderate knee arthritis and have had back pain for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This clinical trial is testing whether a special electrical stimulation therapy applied to the muscles of the lower back can improve spine and pelvic alignment in people who are having knee replacement surgery. If you have knee arthritis and also have spine/pelvis alignment problems, this therapy might help you stand straighter and recover more comfortably after surgery.
This trial tests whether a yoga program can improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and stiffness while improving mobility.
This trial tests whether spa therapy (balneotherapy) can help people with knee osteoarthritis. You would receive treatment at the Santenay spa as part of your regular care.
This pilot study tests whether a group exercise program can improve balance for people with knee osteoarthritis. You would join supervised exercise classes to see if they help with stability and daily movement.
This study looks at how moving your arms and legs might help reduce pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you will do some light exercise so researchers can see if it helps your knee feel better.
This study compares two different exercise programs—one focusing on upper back mobility and the other on hip mobility—both combined with core strengthening exercises, to see which works better for reducing pain and improving function in people with lower back arthritis. If you are in your 40s–60s with long-lasting back pain that radiates down your leg but not past your knee, this trial might offer a structured way to explore exercise-based treatment.
