Early movement and electrical therapy for back surgery recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two recovery methods after back surgery: early mobilization (starting to move soon after surgery) and electrical stimulation (using small electrical pulses to help muscles). It aims to see which approach improves functional recovery faster and better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of nerve gliding exercises (sciatic and femoral) combined with electrical muscle stimulation to treat low back pain that travels into the leg. It aims to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
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 adding electrical muscle stimulation to body awareness exercises helps reduce non-specific low back pain. If you have had low back pain for at least 3 months and are between 18 and 65, you may be able to join.
This early-stage study tests whether regular, skin-based electrical stimulation can help people with paralysis or weakness regain movement. You would attend frequent clinic sessions for months, while the team checks your ability to follow instructions and your safety.
This pilot study tests whether a special spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends gentle electrical signals to your spinal cord—can help you walk better if you have ongoing nerve pain in your lower back and leg after spine surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and improve your ability to move around.
This study tests whether non-invasive electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with physical therapy, can improve your ability to stand and walk after a spinal cord injury. It explores how your brain and spinal cord can adapt and rebuild connections to help you move better.
