Fear of movement may worsen back pain and disability, new study suggests
NCT ID NCT07674407
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how fear-avoidance beliefs—the fear that moving will cause more pain or injury—relate to trunk muscle endurance, balance, and daily function in people with lumbar disc herniation (a slipped disc). Researchers will measure these factors in 65 adults aged 18 to 65 who have had low back pain for at least 3 months. The goal is to understand how psychological factors like fear of movement might contribute to physical decline, which could lead to more comprehensive treatment approaches.
