NCT ID NCT07667062
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week program of myofascial release—a manual therapy using sustained gentle pressure on the lower back—can reduce pain and improve movement in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. 65 participants will receive either the real therapy or a sham version. Researchers will measure changes in tissue stiffness, pain confidence, and daily function.
