LUMBAR RADICULOPATHY

This study looked at two different physical therapy methods for people with low back pain that travels down the leg (lumbar radiculopathy). Twenty adults were split into two groups: one received spinal mobilization with leg movement, and the other received nerve gliding exercises…

This study tested whether a specific exercise method (McKenzie technique) works better than usual physical therapy for people with long-term back and leg pain caused by a pinched nerve. 28 adults aged 30-60 with a sideways tilt of the lower spine took part. Researchers measured p…

This study looked at a procedure called epiduroscopic adhesiolysis, which uses a tiny camera to see inside the spine and break up scar tissue, for people with long-term back and leg pain. It included 141 adults, some who had prior back surgery and some who had not. The goal was t…

This study tested if a gentle hands-on therapy called Maitland mobilization can improve walking patterns in people with chronic low back and leg pain caused by a pinched nerve. 46 adults aged 35-45 with pain lasting over 12 weeks received either Maitland mobilization plus standar…

This study tested whether applying steroids during minimally invasive back surgery for a herniated disc helps reduce pain and disability sooner. 90 adults took part and were randomly assigned to receive steroids or not during the procedure. The goal was to see if this simple addi…

This study tested two different physical therapy techniques for people with leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back (lumbar radiculopathy). 72 adults were split into two groups: one did dynamic stretching plus standard physiotherapy, and the other did slider nerve ex…

This study looked at 64 adults with lower back and leg pain caused by a slipped disc. Researchers measured how well they could sense their hip joint position and compared it to any pelvic asymmetry. The goal was to understand the connection between pelvic alignment, joint awarene…

This study tested whether doctors who practice on a 3D virtual reality simulator before performing difficult lumbar steroid injections can do the procedure faster and more accurately. Thirty patients with challenging back conditions took part. The goal was to see if VR training i…
