Spinal movement with leg exercises for nerve-related back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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 two types of exercises to help reduce pain and improve movement in people with long-lasting leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It compares two different exercise approaches to see which works better.
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 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 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 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 treatment that uses magnetic pulses through the spine to reduce nerve pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve in your lower back. The goal is to see if this painless, non-invasive therapy can help improve your symptoms.
