NCT ID NCT07549009
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 128 women with chronic low back pain to see if the position of the uterus (tipped forward or backward) affects pain sensitivity. Researchers measured pain thresholds and used questionnaires to assess pain and related factors. No treatments were given—the goal was simply to understand the relationship better.
