Spinal Mobilization and Leg Movement for Lower Back Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining spinal mobilization (gentle hands-on therapy to move your spine) with leg movements—with or without a technique called neural flossing—helps relieve lower back pain that radiates down one leg with numbness and weakness. The goal is to find which approach works best for your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 50 years old
- You have lower back pain that radiates to one side of your leg, with numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness

- You do not have a broken spine or other spine injury
- You do not have disc herniation, piriformis syndrome, spine instability, or scoliosis

This study compares two types of gentle movement therapies to see which works better for leg pain caused by a mild disc problem in the lower back. It may help you if you have pain going down one leg and meet a few specific physical exam findings.
This study compares two gentle, hands-on physical therapy techniques to see which better relieves leg pain from a bulging lower back disc. Participants will receive one of the two treatments over several sessions.
This trial tests a combination of gentle nerve gliding exercises and muscle relaxation techniques for people with chronic leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. The goal is to see if these treatments can reduce pain and improve movement.
This study compares two gentle hand techniques (Maitland and Mulligan) to see which one better relieves leg pain from a pinched nerve in the lower back. If you have chronic sciatica-type pain, these treatments may help without surgery.
This study tests whether combining three physical therapy techniques—spine mobilization, leg movements, and spinal traction—can reduce pain and improve function in people with pinched nerves in the lower back caused by a bulging disc. If it works, it could offer a non-surgical treatment option.
This study tests if gentle nerve-sliding exercises can reduce pain, improve daily function, and help balance in people with leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It may be a good fit if your leg pain is worse than your back pain and certain movements make it better or worse.
