What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
three dimensional lumbar myofascial releaseOther
Also called (3D) MFR
Three-dimensional (3D) MFR is a novel approach toward reducing fascial restrictions. It recognizes that fascia exists not only in a linear plane but also in complex multidirectional networks throughout the body.
conventional treatment.Other
conventional treatment, including selected physical therapy, flexibility exercise for the back, static back and abdomen exercises, and electrotherapy

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire
The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) has been found to possess adequate psychometric properties in low back pain (LBP) patients worldwide
Measured: four weeks
Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) a patient-completed questionnaire which gives a subjective percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living in those rehabilitating from low back pain
Measured: four weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
pressure pain algometer
Algometers are designed to quantify and document levels of tenderness via pressure pain threshold measurement and pain sensitivity via pressure pain tolerance measurement.
Measured: four weeks
visual analog scale
The pain VAS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, used to record patients' pain progression, or compare pain severity between patients with similar conditions
Measured: four weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing three dimensional lumbar myofascial release and conventional treatment. in people with Lumbar Radiculopathy, run by October 6 University at 1 site in Egypt.
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 4 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 25 Aug 2026. 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 Egypt. 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?
Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (time frame: four weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Aug 2026.
