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 whether releasing a specific tight muscle (the psoas) in the hip can help relieve recent low back pain. It's for young adults (18–30) whose pain started less than a month ago and who have a trigger point in that muscle.
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 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 study compares two types of gentle muscle-release techniques—post-isometric relaxation and myofascial release—to see which better relieves low back pain caused by lower cross syndrome, a common muscle imbalance. If you have ongoing back pain and tight hamstrings, this trial may offer a drug-free treatment option.
