What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding ELDOA stretching — a technique that targets the spine and surrounding tissues — to standard physiotherapy can reduce pain and disability in adults with chronic low back pain and a condition called dural hypomobility (tightness in the spinal nerve lining). Participants will receive either standard physiotherapy alone or standard physiotherapy plus ELDOA stretching three times a week for six weeks. The study measures changes in pain, daily function, and nerve mobility to see if the extra stretching makes a meaningful difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ELDOA stretching (a targeted spinal decompression and neural mobility technique) combined with standard physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If effective, adding ELDOA stretching to standard physiotherapy could offer a simple, non-drug way to reduce pain and improve mobility in people with chronic low back pain linked to dural tightness.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. ELDOA stretching is a specific technique that requires a trained therapist, and its benefits over standard care alone are not yet proven.
