Sacral Release and Lumbar Mobilization for Period Pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two hands-on physical therapy techniques—sacral release and lumbar mobilization—to see if they can reduce severe period pain. If you have significant menstrual pain that isn't caused by an underlying condition, this trial may help you find relief.
