Core exercises plus brain tasks for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing core (stability) exercises along with simple cognitive (thinking) tasks can reduce long-lasting low back pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least 3 months and you can safely take part in exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’ve been told by an orthopedic clinician that you have chronic, non-specific low back pain
- Your back pain has lasted at least 3 months
- Your pain is at least 3 out of 10 (or higher) on a pain scale
- You feel pain when standing still (quiet standing)
- Your thinking/memory test result is above 24 (mini-mental state exam, MMSE)
- You have no signs of nerve involvement, and no prior surgery on your lower back

This study tests whether core strengthening exercises can improve balance in older adults with chronic low back pain. If you're 65 or older and have had low back pain for at least 3 months, this may help you improve stability and reduce discomfort.
This study compares two sets of exercises (called McGill and Sahrmann) to see which is better at reducing chronic low back pain. If you have had non-specific low back pain for more than 12 weeks, this trial may help you strengthen your core and feel better without surgery or medication.
This study tests whether a specific type of exercise that strengthens your core (the muscles around your belly and back) helps people with long-lasting low back pain. It aims to see if these exercises reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests if core and breathing exercises can improve balance and body awareness in people with chronic low back pain. The exercises are gentle and focus on strengthening the muscles that support your spine.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for people with long-term low back pain. It tests whether core strengthening exercises are better than general exercises at reducing pain and improving function.
This study compares two types of exercise programs—moderate load eccentric core exercises and Pilates—to see which is more effective for people with long-lasting low back pain that isn't caused by a specific medical condition.
