This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or surgery.
This study compares two treatments for long-lasting low back and leg pain caused by a herniated disc: high-intensity laser therapy and a steroid shot near the spine. Researchers want to see which option works better to reduce pain.
This study tests a high-intensity laser treatment to reduce hip pain and improve function in people with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (pain on the outside of the hip). It may help if you've had hip pain for at least 3 months and haven't had recent injections or other conservative treatments.
This study tests whether high-power laser therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with a herniated disc in the lower back that causes sciatica (pain going down the leg). It is a non-surgical treatment option that may help you avoid or delay surgery.
This study tests a combination of high-intensity laser therapy (a painless light treatment) and a gentle hands-on technique called 'Mulligan mobilization' to see if it helps reduce chronic low back pain. The goal is to find a non-surgical way to improve your pain and movement.
This study compares two treatments for a herniated disc in the lower back: laser treatment alone, or laser treatment plus a steroid injection around the nerve. It aims to see if adding the injection improves pain and function more than laser alone.
