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.

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 study tested whether a four-week resistance exercise program using the 45-degree Roman chair could reduce pain and improve back muscle function in 22 adults with chronic low back pain. Participants performed back extension exercises to exhaustion, and researchers measured pain sensitivity, muscle thickness, strength, and endurance. The goal was to see if this type of exercise could help manage long-term back pain.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
45-degree Roman chair exercise
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple exercise program to help manage chronic low back pain without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 22 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Exercise may not help everyone and could cause temporary soreness.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * chronic low back pain lasting ≥ 12 weeks * current pain intensity ≥ 3/10 but no higher than an 8/10 on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) within the past 48 hours * resistance trained (defined as 2x/week for the past 8-12 weeks) * able to read and speak English for informed consent and completion of questionnaires * willing and physically able to complete all testing and intervention sessions. Exclusion Criteria: * History of spinal surgery, fusion, or fracture within the past 6 months * diagnosed degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or spinal pathology that precludes safe exercise participation * use of an assistive device for walking (cane, walker) within the past year * pregnancy, due to contraindications for exercise testing and ultrasound -body weight ≥ 300 lbs., which exceeds the safe capacity of the Roman chair -- * current tobacco/nicotine use * current enrollment in physical therapy or structured rehabilitation for LBP, * cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, or systemic disease that increases risk during exercise * nociplastic pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia) or neurological conditions that confound EIH responses * inability to complete ≥ 8 Roman chair repetitions with proper form during screening * non-English speaking
