NCT ID NCT07524686
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different hands-on treatments for people with lower back pain that shoots down the leg (lumbar radiculopathy). Twenty adults received either spinal mobilization with leg movement or nerve gliding exercises for six weeks. The goal was to see which therapy better reduces pain and improves daily function and hip movement.
