Nerve gliding exercises with or without shockwave for buttock pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for pain in the buttock that may spread down the back of the thigh. One group gets nerve gliding exercises alone, the other gets those exercises plus shockwave therapy, a treatment that uses sound waves to help healing.
