Nerve glide exercise for back pain that travels down the leg
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve-gliding exercise for people with back pain that spreads into the leg. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain and improve movement without needing surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had low back pain that shoots into your leg for at least 3 weeks.
- Your pain is at least a 3 out of 10 on a pain scale.
- You must be able to understand and follow instructions in Turkish.
- You have not had spinal surgery or a spinal injury in the past.
- You are not pregnant, not obese (BMI under 30), and have no unstable spine conditions.
- You have not had physical therapy or steroid injections for this problem in the last 3 months.

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 study tests whether specific leg exercises, called nerve gliding exercises, can reduce leg pain and improve balance and movement in people with a slipped disc in the lower spine that causes pain down one leg. It may be a good option if you haven't had spinal surgery or recent steroid injections.
This study tests a type of physical therapy exercise called 'neural tissue mobilization' (nerve gliding) done on the arm opposite to your pain, to see if it can relieve arm pain caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. You'll be asked to do specific exercises, and the goal is to reduce your pain and improve your ability to move your arm.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy for low back pain and leg pain caused by nerve irritation (called lumbar radiculopathy). One group gets standard spinal movement treatment, and the other gets that treatment plus a technique called 'neural flossing' that helps the nerves slide smoothly. The goal is to see if adding neural flossing gives better pain relief and improvement.
This study tests whether gentle stretching exercises targeting the sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help reduce leg pain and improve how your body perceives pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to standard care to see if it works.
This trial compares two simple exercises (SNAG and SNME) to see which works better for people with long-lasting sciatic leg pain. If you have had pain going down one leg for over 3 months and have not had treatment in the last month, this study may help find relief.
