Passive stretching of the hamstring muscles.
Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve.Other
Neurodynamic technique on the sciatic nerve.
Passive upper limb mobilisations.Other

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Passive hamstring stretch. | Experimental | Manual stretching of the hamstring muscles using the technique proposed by Henri Neiger. Receives: Other: Stretching of the hamstring muscles. |
| Longitudinal slippage of the sciatic nerve. | Experimental | Neurodynamic technique described by David Butler and Michael Shacklock. Receives: Other: Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve. |
| Passive upper limb mobilisations. | Active comparator | Control group. Passive mobilisation of the upper limbs. Receives: Other: Passive upper limb mobilisations. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.
The degree of elasticity of the hamstring musculature will be measured using the Goniometer by placing the hip in 90 degrees flexion and measuring the extension in degrees of the knee.
A pre-test and post-test measurement will be taken.
Measured: One month.

Primary outcome
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve.
Time frame: One month.
The degree of elasticity of the hamstring musculature will be measured using the Goniometer by placing the hip in 90 degrees flexion and measuring the extension in degrees of the knee. A pre-test and post-test measurement will be taken.
Results and safety
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Stretching of the hamstring muscles., Neural slippage of the sciatic nerve. and Passive upper limb mobilisations. in people with Hamstring Muscles and Sciatic Nerve, run by Universidad de Murcia at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Differences between passive stretching of the hamstring muscles and longitudinal sliding of the sciatic nerve. (time frame: One month.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2022.
