Summary

This trial tests whether adding spinal mobilization and manipulation to conventional physiotherapy can better ease pain, disability, fear of movement, and stiffness in people with non-specific low back pain lasting over 12 weeks. Adults aged 18 to 60 will be randomly assigned to receive either physiotherapy alone or physiotherapy plus these manual techniques over six weeks. The study compares outcomes between the two groups to see if the added hands-on approach brings extra benefit.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Spinal mobilization and manipulation added to conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to: If adding these hands-on techniques to standard physiotherapy proves effective, it could point toward a more powerful non-drug approach for managing chronic low back pain.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. Manual therapy also carries a small risk of soreness or rare complications, and the added benefit over physiotherapy alone remains unproven.
