Efficacy of Mobilization With Movement on Conditioned Pain Modulation in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Mobilization with movement and Sham mobilization with movement for Chronic Low-back Pain. Completed, enrolled 58 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with chronic low back pain may have altered endogenous mechanisms, which can be evaluated with conditioned modulation paradigms. Mobilization with movement has demonstrated improvements in endogenous analgesic mechanisms in conditions such as knee osteoarthritis or lateral epicondylalgia. However, its effects have not yet been studied in patients with chronic low back pain. The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of mobilization with movement compared to placebo on endogenous mechanisms in patients with chronic low back pain.
