NCT ID NCT07403110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at two physical therapy techniques—Kaltenborn mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation—for people with long-term low back pain. Fifty adults aged 25 to 45 with pain lasting over 3 months took part. The goal was to see if combining these methods works better than one alone for reducing pain and improving movement.
