Core stability versus aerobic exercise for chronic low back pain in women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise—core stability (strengthening your belly and back muscles) and aerobic (cardio) exercise—to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in women with long-term low back pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your low back pain has lasted more than 3 months
- Your back pain is not caused by pregnancy or childbirth
