Back and shoulder exercises for chronic low back pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have had low back pain for at least 3 months, caused by a mechanical issue (not a disease or infection).
- You have not had physical therapy for your back pain in the past month.
- Your pain level is moderate (3 to 6 on a 0-10 scale).
- Your back pain causes mild to moderate disability (score of 11-30 on a 50-point disability questionnaire).

This study tests whether different exercise programs can help reduce chronic low back pain. It looks at how exercise affects pain and daily function, and aims to find the best workout approach for people with long-lasting back pain.
This study tests a combination of two non-drug treatments for chronic low back pain: pain neuroscience education (learning about how pain works) and lumbar stabilization exercises (strengthening the muscles that support your spine). The goal is to reduce disability and the fear of movement that often comes with chronic pain.
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 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 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.
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.
