Tests treatment safety and results for Voluntary
Official title Effectiveness of Neurodynamic Sliding Mobilisation in the "Slump" Position in Relation to the Perceptible Pain Threshold in Asymptomatic People
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06357715
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- According to the French National Health Agency, the use of manual therapy techniques is "possible" [grade B] as part of a multimodal combination of treatments for low back pain. These include so-called "neurodynamic" neural mobilisations, which aim in particular to desensitise the pain system and activate descending inhibitory pathways, with effects on pain and function in patients with nerve-related low back pain.
