First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study aimed to compare two hands-on treatments—diaphragm breathing exercises and myofascial release (a type of massage)—for people with long-lasting low back pain. Researchers planned to enroll 44 adults aged 20–45 and measure pain, flexibility, and disability over 4 weeks. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
