Measuring Reliability of Spine Mobilization in Low Back Pain

NCT07582705 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2026-05-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational study aims to learn how to measure joint motion and tissue response when pressure is applied to the back and examine how the nervous system responds to the applied pressure. This pressure or mobilization technique is a standard care but we currently do not have a method to measure this technique. Through this study, we hope to validate a tool that allows physical therapists to measure the pressure applied during spinal mobilization.

Participants will be asked to:

* Receive spinal mobilization
* Participate in pain threshold testing
* Answer questionnaires
