Comparing two exercise programs for chronic low back pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (Sahrmann and McGill) to see which one works better for non-specific low back pain (pain with no clear cause). If you join, your pain and function will be tracked over time to see if one approach helps more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with non-specific low back pain (pain not caused by a specific injury or disease).
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- Your back pain has lasted for at least 3 months.
- Your usual pain level is between 3 and 7 on a 0-to-10 scale.

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 compares two different exercise programs to see which one better improves muscle imbalance and pain in the lower back and hips (lower crossed syndrome). If you join, you will receive one of these exercise programs, which may help strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones.
This study compares two exercise programs for people with long-lasting low back pain (3 months or more). One program focuses only on the lower back, while the other adds shoulder blade exercises. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for chronic low back pain—one focusing on muscle control and the other on strengthening specific muscles. It aims to see which approach improves function and reduces pain more effectively.
This trial tests a combined exercise program with stretching, strength, and aerobic exercises to help relieve chronic lower back pain. It looks at whether specific movements can reduce pain and improve daily function.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for chronic low back pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower spine. It aims to see which treatment better strengthens the back muscles and reduces pain.
