Biomechanical evaluation of lumbar disc herniation treatment using lever positioning manipulation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of different trigger modes of lever positioning manipulation (LPM) for treating lumbar disc herniation (LDH). It employs advanced 3D finite element technology and dynamic capture systems to analyze the biomechanical effects of LPM on patients with LDH. The study aims to clarify the clinical impact of LPM and to summarize the mechanical characteristics associated with different triggering modes. Additionally, it seeks to correlate LPM operation characteristics with individual patient traits and imaging parameters.
