What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
kinetic controlOther
Kinetic Control uses the Movement Control Rating System based on motor tests, the purpose of which is to identify the place and direction of uncontrolled movements and exercises to re-educate motor control
Conventional physical therapy.Other
This group received only conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound,Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Kinetic control | Experimental | This group received kinetic control retraining protocol in addition to conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound,Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks. Receives: Other: kinetic control |
| Conventional physical therapy | Active comparator | This group received only conventional physical therapy. ( TENS, hot backs, Ultrasound, Nerve mobilization ) three sessions per week for 6 weeks. Receives: Other: Conventional physical therapy. |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Conventional physical therapy. in people with LUMBOSACRAL RADICULOPATHY and Chronic Low Back Pain, run by Madonna Maher Ezzat Yassa.
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 7 inclusion and 6 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Madonna Maher Ezzat (01204511549, madonna.maher@nub.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC ACTIVITY OF TRUNK MUSCLES (time frame: 6 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07079202, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 22 Jul 2025.
