Nerve gliding moves for strength and endurance in athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle nerve-stretching technique (neurodynamics) can improve leg strength and endurance in athletes. If you're 18–30, currently active in sports or intense training, and have no recent leg injury or surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old.
- You currently play an organized sport or do structured strength training for an athletic event like a marathon, CrossFit, or Hyrox.
- You have no leg injury or surgery in the past 3 months, and no leg surgery in the past year.
- You can fully bend and straighten both legs without pain.
- You have no nerve or muscle condition (like stroke, multiple sclerosis) that affects your legs.
- You do not take medications or supplements that change how your muscles work or get tired.

This study tests whether gentle stretching exercises targeting the sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help reduce leg pain and improve how your body perceives pain. Researchers will compare this treatment to standard care to see if it works.
This trial compares two hands-on physical therapy techniques—one that stretches the sciatic nerve and one that moves it gently—to see which works better for sciatica pain that has lasted several months. You'll receive one of these treatments to help reduce leg pain and improve your ability to walk and move.
This study measures how stiff the sciatic nerve is using ultrasound while you do gentle leg movements. It compares people with sciatica to healthy volunteers to understand nerve changes.
This trial tests whether moving your hip in different directions (like bringing your leg in or out) while doing nerve stretches can affect flexibility in healthy, active adults. If you exercise regularly and have had no recent injuries, this may be a fit.
This trial tests a nerve-gliding exercise for people with back pain that spreads into the leg. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain and improve movement without needing 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.
