Exercise therapy for chronic lower back pain in young adults
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for chronic mechanical lower back pain: lumbar stabilization exercises (focused on core strength) versus muscular chain therapy (full-body movement patterns). You'll participate in one of these exercise programs to see which helps reduce your pain more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 30 years old
- You have chronic lower back pain (mechanical, meaning not caused by nerve damage or serious structural disease) lasting more than a few weeks
- Your pain is located in the lower back area and rates above 4 on a pain scale
- You are able to participate in exercise-based interventions and physical activities
- You do not have structural spine problems (like slipped discs, bone spurs, fractures, curvature, or spondylolisthesis) confirmed by X-ray
- You have not had spine surgery or lower back/pelvis surgery in the past
