New combo therapy aims to ease stubborn back pain without drugs
NCT ID NCT07556926
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will test whether adding high-intensity laser therapy to a hands-on technique called Mulligan mobilization can reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic low back pain. Fifty adults aged 18-60 will be split into two groups: one gets the combo treatment, the other gets mobilization alone. The goal is to see if the combination works better for pain, disability, and range of motion.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a more effective non-drug treatment for chronic low back pain.
