First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a specialized posture-correction exercise program (Mirror Image Spine Correction) with standard physiotherapy for adults with sciatica. Over 12 weeks, 64 participants will receive supervised sessions three times per week. The main goal is to see if the new exercises improve nerve health measured by MRI, along with pain and disability. The trial is not yet recruiting.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective exercise-based treatment for sciatica that targets posture and nerve health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 64 participants, and it uses an imaging measure rather than a proven clinical outcome. The exercises may not outperform standard physiotherapy.
