Hip stretches may ease back pain from slipped spine bone
NCT ID NCT07547969
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a specific hip stretching technique can reduce back disability and pain in people with spondylolisthesis, a condition where a spine bone slips forward. Researchers will measure disability, pain, and how well the lower back bends. The study plans to include 32 women aged 40-60 with a mild form of the condition.
