Myofascial release for wheelchair rugby players with spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can help improve 20-meter speed in wheelchair rugby athletes who have a cervical spinal cord injury. If you play wheelchair rugby, this might help you move faster on the court.

This study tests if a home-based virtual reality gaming program can improve heart health in people with spinal cord injury who use a wheelchair. It may help you become more active and reduce heart disease risk.
This study tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can reduce chronic low back pain. Myofascial release targets the connective tissue (fascia) around muscles to ease tightness and improve mobility.
This study tests if adding myofascial release (a type of hands-on therapy for tight muscles) to a standard self-stretching program helps relieve sciatica pain and improve movement. It's for people with long-standing (chronic) one-sided sciatica.
This trial tests if a hands-on or tool-assisted muscle release technique can reduce long-term low back pain and improve posture in people who do CrossFit. If you have had low back pain for at least 12 weeks and do CrossFit regularly, this study may help you find relief.
This study tests a gentle hands-on technique called myofascial release on the back, which may help relax the muscles and improve brain activity related to movement. It aims to see if this treatment has immediate effects on healthy young adults.
