Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates the predictor value of manual test in lumbar chronic patients blocks. Bibliography has show limited evidence of clinical predictors in lumbar blocks. Prior to lumbar facet block or medial branch denervation patient will be evaluated with manual provocative segmental movements, lumbar sagittal range of motion, manual segmental movement and slump neural test . Immediate, one and six months effect will be registered.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Clinical tests have sown limit evidence to predict efficacy of lumbar facet blocks. Segmental mobility tests have been included into the protocol to evaluate the efficacy of the lumbar blocks.

Chronic low back pain patients will be tested to evaluate the predictor value of manual clinical tests.

Patients from the "Lozano Blesa" Hospital pain clinic will be evaluate before, one month and six months after the lumbar facet block.
