First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a technique called post isometric relaxation (PIR) can help people with Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome, a common cause of low back pain. The study will include 32 adults aged 20 to 45 who have this condition. Researchers will measure pain, muscle endurance, and disability before and after the treatment to see if PIR provides relief.
