Can a simple leg maneuver ease nerve pain in the lower back?
NCT ID NCT07726823
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests two hands-on therapy techniques—Mulligan Bent Leg Raise and spinal mobilization with leg movement—to see which better reduces pain, improves nerve mobility, balance, and daily function in people with lumbar radiculopathy (a pinched nerve in the lower back causing leg pain). About 52 adults aged 20 to 40 with a confirmed disc bulge will be assigned to one of the two methods. The goal is to find a more effective non-drug approach for this common condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- manual therapy techniques: Mulligan Bent Leg Raise and spinal mobilization with leg movement
- What this could lead to
- If one technique proves more effective, it could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option for managing lumbar radiculopathy symptoms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Manual therapy may not work for everyone and carries minor risks like temporary discomfort.
