Ankle Muscle Strength in Chronic Low Back Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study measures the strength and function of ankle muscles in people with chronic low back pain lasting over 3 months. Understanding how ankle muscles work may help explain why some people develop long-term low back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had low back pain for at least 3 months (not a recent injury)
- Your pain is located in the lower back area and rates at least 3 out of 10 in severity
- You have mild to moderate functional disability from your back pain (not severely disabled)
- Your BMI is under 30 (within a healthy weight range)

This study looks at how the way your back muscles work together (motor control) relates to the shape of your spine seen on X-rays, in people with long-lasting low back pain that isn't caused by a specific condition. If you join, you'll help researchers understand this link, which could lead to better treatments.
This trial measures how well you can use your arms and how strong your breathing and other muscles are if you have chronic low back pain. It aims to understand the links between these factors to improve future treatments.
This study looks at how the flexibility of hip muscles relates to pain and disability in people with chronic low back pain. It may help understand if improving hip flexibility can reduce back pain and improve daily function.
This study tests a muscle training program for the hips to see if it reduces chronic low back pain. It focuses on strengthening the muscles that flex and extend the hip, which may help support the lower back and decrease pain.
This trial tests whether a specific hip flexor stretching program can help reduce chronic low back pain. If you have ongoing back pain not caused by a specific injury, this could be a non-drug option to explore.
This study looks at how chronic low back pain changes the way your back muscles work and how you move when walking. By comparing people with and without back pain, researchers hope to better understand the condition and improve treatments.
