NCT ID NCT07278193
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding dynamic stretching to foam rolling helps people with piriformis syndrome more than foam rolling alone. Forty adults aged 35–50 with buttock pain will do either foam rolling or foam rolling plus dynamic stretches for several weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, hip movement, and quality of life.
