U.S., Dec. 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07285824) titled 'Virtual McKenzie Exercises and Centralization of Pain: A Pilot Study' on Dec. 03.
Brief Summary: Low back pain (LBP) is frequently managed in physical therapy using the McKenzie method, in which a patient's directional preference-most commonly extension-is used to guide treatment. Extension-based interventions are associated with symptom improvement and centralization in many individuals with LBP. At the same time, research in pain neuroscience has shown that people with LBP may have altered cortical representations of the low back, which may contribute to pain and disability. For patients who experience high pain levels or signific...
