Tug-of-War for back pain: does stronger pull mean less sciatica?
NCT ID NCT02091791
Summary
This study tested whether using a stronger pulling force during lumbar traction treatment works better than a gentler force for reducing leg pain from acute sciatica caused by a slipped disc. Researchers compared the two approaches in 17 patients with recent sciatica symptoms. The goal was to see if higher force traction provides more pain relief and improves leg movement.
