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.

What this could lead to
If the results are positive, this could support adding physiotherapy to emergency care for acute back spasms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study that only looks at past records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients or settings.
