ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating how the alignment of the spine and pelvis affects balance in teenagers who experience mechanical low back pain. Specifically, researchers want to understand how certain measurements, like the curve of the lower back and the position of the pelvis, relate to balance control in adolescents aged 15 to 18 who have been dealing with back pain for more than three months.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 15 and 18 years old and have chronic low back pain lasting longer than three months. However, those with previous spinal surgeries, deformities, or ongoing treatments for back pain will not be included. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo assessments that will help researchers learn more about the connection between back pain and balance, potentially leading to better treatment options for young people facing similar issues in the future. This trial is currently not yet recruiting participants.
