Brief Summary

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

According to the French National Health Agency, the use of manual therapy techniques is "possible" \[grade B\] as part of a multimodal combination of treatments for low back pain. These include so-called "neurodynamic" neural mobilisations, which aim in particular to desensitise the pain system and activate descending inhibitory pathways, with effects on pain and function in patients with nerve-related low back pain. Most of the available evidence does not explain the mechanisms involved in neural mobilisation in the slump position. Pain reduction is observed in more areas of the body with sliding techniques than with traction techniques.

In this cross-over, randomised controlled trial, we therefore hypothesise that the neurodynamic sliding technique in the slump position acts on mechanisms linked to central pain modulation processes
