ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different treatments for people suffering from non-specific low back pain, which is a common issue affecting many individuals. The trial aims to see how effective a combination of pressure biofeedback therapy—this helps support the lower back by adjusting pressure in the abdomen—and progressive muscle relaxation techniques—designed to reduce tension and improve flexibility—can be in helping patients manage their pain and improve their mobility. The trial is for adults aged 30 to 50 who have been experiencing low back pain for more than three months.

To participate, individuals should be diagnosed with chronic low back pain but should not have had any surgeries on their spine or other serious spine-related conditions. Those who join the trial can expect to receive either the combined treatment or just the muscle relaxation techniques to see which works better for reducing pain and improving their daily activities. This study is actively recruiting participants, and it provides an opportunity for those with chronic back pain to explore new ways to find relief.
