About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of ELDOA Stretching Combined With Standard Physiotherapy in Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain and Dural Hypomobility:
Adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP) frequently experience persistent pain, functional disability, and reduced quality of life despite receiving conventional physiotherapy. Dural hypomobility has been proposed as a contributing factor in some individuals with CLBP by limiting normal neural tissue mobility and increasing mechanosensitivity. ELDOA (Étirements Longitudinaux avec Décoaptation Ostéo-Articulaire) is a targeted stretching technique designed to improve spinal decompression, fascial mobility, and neural tissue mobility. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness in patients with CLBP and dural hypomobility remains limited.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ELDOA stretching combined with standard physiotherapy compared with standard physiotherapy alone in adults with chronic low back pain and dural hypomobility. Participants will receive treatment three times per week for six weeks. Pain intensity, disability, and dural mobility will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Slump Test before and after the intervention. The findings may provide evidence regarding the additional benefit of ELDOA as an adjunct to conventional physiotherapy in the management of chronic low back pain associated with dural hypomobility.
Read the detailed description
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and is associated with persistent pain, reduced functional capacity, impaired quality of life, and substantial socioeconomic burden. Current clinical practice guidelines recommend non-pharmacological management, particularly exercise therapy and physiotherapy, as first-line treatment. Nevertheless, many individuals continue to experience pain and disability despite conventional rehabilitation.
Dural hypomobility has been suggested as a potential contributor to persistent low back pain. Restricted movement of the spinal dura mater may increase neural mechanosensitivity, alter neurodynamics, and contribute to pain during movement. The Slump Test is commonly used clinically to identify signs consistent with altered neural mobility or dural tension.
ELDOA (Étirements Longitudinaux avec Décoaptation Ostéo-Articulaire) is a specific therapeutic exercise technique developed to create targeted spinal decompression through fascial tensioning and segmental positioning. The technique aims to improve spinal alignment, fascial mobility, and neural tissue mobility while reducing mechanical stress on spinal structures. Although previous studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of ELDOA on pain and function in several musculoskeletal conditions, evidence regarding its effectiveness in adults with chronic low back pain accompanied by dural hypomobility is limited.
This study is designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Eligible adults aged 20 to 45 years with chronic low back pain lasting at least three months and presenting with a positive Slump Test will be recruited. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. The experimental group will receive standard physiotherapy consisting of hot pack application, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), manual therapy, and ELDOA stretching exercises. The control group will receive the same standard physiotherapy protocol without ELDOA. Both groups will receive treatment three times per week for six weeks.
The primary outcome will be pain intensity measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Secondary outcomes will include disability measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and dural mobility assessed using the Slump Test. Outcome measures will be recorded at baseline and after completion of the six-week intervention.
The study aims to determine whether adding ELDOA stretching to standard physiotherapy provides greater improvements in pain, disability, and dural mobility than standard physiotherapy alone. The results may contribute to evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for adults with chronic low back pain associated with dural hypomobility and help guide future physiotherapy practice.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ELDOA StretchingProcedure or surgery
Also called Dural Stretching
Participants will perform standardized ELDOA (Étirements Longitudinaux avec Décoaptation Ostéo-Articulaire) stretching exercises targeting the lumbar spine (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1). Each exercise will be performed for 2 sets of 5 repetitions with a 45-second hold and 15-second rest between sets. Treatment will be supervised by a physiotherapist and administered three times per week for six weeks in addition to standard physiotherapy.
Standard PhysiotherapyProcedure or surgery
Standard physiotherapy will consist of superficial heat therapy (hot pack for 10-15 minutes), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS, 80-100 Hz for 10-15 minutes), and manual therapy including myofascial release and soft tissue mobilization of the lumbar paraspinal muscles (5-10 minutes). Treatment will be provided three times per week for six weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Physiotherapy + ELDOA Stretching | Experimental | Participants assigned to this arm will receive standard physiotherapy consisting of hot pack application, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and manual therapy, together with ELDOA stretching exercises. Treatment will be provided three sessions per week for six weeks. Receives: Procedure: ELDOA Stretching; Procedure: Standard Physiotherapy |
| Standard Physiotherapy | Active comparator | Participants assigned to this arm will receive standard physiotherapy consisting of hot pack application, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and manual therapy. Treatment will be provided three sessions per week for six weeks. Receives: Procedure: Standard Physiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disability Measured by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
Disability related to chronic low back pain will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Scores range from 0% to 100%, with higher scores indicating greater disability. The outcome is the change in ODI score from baseline to Week 6.
Measured: Baseline and Week 6
Pain Intensity Measured by the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Pain intensity will be assessed using the 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. The primary outcome is the change in NPRS score from baseline to the end of the 6-week intervention.
Measured: Baseline and Week 6
Secondary outcomes (1)
Dural Mobility Assessed by the Slump Test
Dural mobility will be evaluated using the Slump Test. Improvement will be determined by changes in symptom reproduction and neural mobility findings between baseline and the end of the intervention.
Measured: Baseline and Week 6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing ELDOA Stretching and Standard Physiotherapy in people with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP), run by Ibadat International University, Islamabad at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 1 inclusion and 4 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 28 Jul 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 Pakistan. 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?
