First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 34 times

Summary

This study aimed to compare two non-drug treatments—diaphragmatic breathing exercises and myofascial release (a type of massage)—for people with chronic low back pain. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain, improves flexibility, and lowers disability. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
