Summary

This study tested whether adding a painless magnetic stimulation treatment to standard manual therapy (like massage and stretching) helps people with sciatica caused by a herniated disc. Forty adults were split into two groups: one got manual therapy alone, the other got manual therapy plus magnetic stimulation. After three weeks, researchers measured changes in pain, leg mobility, and daily function to see if the combo worked better.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Participants will be eligible for enrollment if they meet all of the following conditions: * Adults aged 18 to 64 years with a diagnosis of unilateral lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy (LDHR), established by a spine specialist and confirmed by lumbar MRI demonstrating disc pathology at L4/L5 or L5/S1 impinging on the corresponding nerve root. * Presence of sciatica-dominant symptoms (radiating pain following the sciatic nerve distribution), accompanied by a positive Straight Leg Raise response consistent with nerve root irritation. * Symptom duration of at least 12 weeks, indicating a chronic and stable clinical presentation without major fluctuations. * Referral for physiotherapy management as part of conservative care. * Ability to comprehend study procedures and provide written informed consent prior to participation. Exclusion Criteria: * Candidates will be excluded if any of the following conditions are present: * Clinical "red flag" indicators such as cauda equina syndrome, suspected spinal infection, or oncologic disease. * Bilateral radicular involvement or symptoms inconsistent with a single-level LDHR. * Previous lumbar spine surgery or an upcoming surgical intervention scheduled during the study period. * Receipt of invasive pain-management procedures (e.g., epidural steroid injections) within the last six weeks. * Coexisting severe neurologic, metabolic, or inflammatory rheumatologic diseases unrelated to the lumbar radiculopathy. * Contraindications to magnetic stimulation, including pacemakers, spinal or peripheral neurostimulators, cochlear implants, or clinically significant metallic implants in the stimulation field. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
