First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test whether adding a specific Mulligan mobilization technique to standard physiotherapy helps people with chronic low back pain more than physiotherapy alone. Thirty adults will be split into three groups: one gets hip rotation mobilization, another gets a straight-leg-raise mobilization, and the third gets only conventional physiotherapy. The treatments happen twice a week for four weeks, and researchers will measure pain, movement, and daily function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mulligan mobilization techniques (hip internal rotation or straight leg raise) plus conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding a specific hands-on technique to standard physiotherapy helps reduce pain and improve movement in people with chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two similar techniques, so any difference may be small.
