Psoas muscle treatment for longtime cleaners with low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment for the psoas muscle, a deep muscle in the lower back, to see if it can reduce chronic low back pain in cleaning professionals. If you've had back pain recently and have been cleaning for years, this might help you find relief.

This trial tests a physical therapy stretching method called PNF on the hip and hamstring muscles to see if it reduces chronic low back pain. It may help if you have had non-specific low back pain for over 3 months with tightness in your hips or legs.
This trial compares two gentle stretching techniques to see which one better eases chronic low back pain. It may help if you have had ongoing pain for months and are looking for a non-surgical treatment.
This trial tests a gentle muscle stretching method (muscle energy technique) on the latissimus dorsi muscle to see if it reduces pain, improves daily function, and increases spine movement in people with long-term low back pain.
This study tests two hands-on treatments—strain counter strain and muscle energy technique—to ease low back pain and improve movement. It may help if you have had low back pain for 3–6 months and have specific tender spots in your back muscles.
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.
