Study explores physiotherapy for back spasms in ER
NCT ID NCT06987656
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 150 adults who came to the emergency room with sudden low back spasms. Researchers compared those who got only standard pain medication to those who also received physiotherapy, including manual therapy and TENS. The goal was to see if adding physiotherapy improved pain, satisfaction, and reduced return visits. Since this is a retrospective study, it can suggest trends but not prove what works best.
