Immediate Effects of Manual and Verbal Cueing During Movement Control Training in Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
40 participantsStarted 2026-03-15
Plain-language summary
Chronic non-specific low back pain is commonly associated with impaired movement control. Movement control training is often used in rehabilitation, and different cueing methods may influence how patients perform and learn movements.
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the immediate effects of manual cueing and verbal cueing during movement control training in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either manual cueing or verbal cueing during a standardized movement training session.
The study will examine immediate changes in movement control performance, perceived difficulty, and related clinical outcomes following the intervention. The results of this study may help clinicians better understand how different cueing strategies influence movement performance in people with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
