CHRONIC LOW-BACK PAIN (CLBP)

This study tested whether a treatment that addresses physical, psychological, and social factors works better than standard physical therapy for chronic low back pain. Eighty adults with pain lasting over 12 weeks took part. The experimental group received added therapies like co…

This study looked at whether combining virtual reality with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can help people with chronic low back pain. 52 adults took part. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce pain, fear of movement, and improve motivation. The study compare…

This study tested whether a 4-week online mindfulness program (including meditation and chair yoga) could reduce pain severity in office workers with non-specific chronic low back pain. 104 participants were randomly assigned to either the mindfulness group or usual care. The mai…

This study looked at whether combining pain education with physical therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and healthy lifestyle changes can better help people with chronic low back pain than education alone. Sixty adults with pain lasting at least six months took part. The go…

This study tested whether 14 weeks of supervised exercise (aerobic and resistance training) could reduce chronic low back pain in 57 adults. Researchers looked at changes in brain connectivity and immune-related gene activity to understand how exercise might relieve pain. The goa…

This study tested two types of core muscle training in 48 adults with chronic low back pain. One group used suspension exercises (like slings), the other used pressure biofeedback to guide movements. Both groups trained three times a week for four weeks. Researchers measured chan…

This study tested a robotic device called LumbaCure that gently moves the lower back to help people with chronic low back pain. 50 adults used the device for 15 minutes during their regular exercise sessions. The goal was to see if it reduces disability and pain better than exerc…

This pilot study tested whether a single session of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can change how people with chronic low back pain feel pressure, cold, and heat. Forty adults received 2,000 magnetic pulses to the brain. The goal was to see if this non-invasi…

This study looked at two treatments for chronic low back pain in women who had a C-section within the past 6-8 months. 36 women aged 25-35 were split into two groups: one received therapeutic ultrasound, the other electrical dry needling. The goal was to see which method better r…

This study looked at how dry needling works for people with chronic low back pain. Researchers studied 56 adults to find out which factors make the treatment effective. The goal is to use this knowledge to offer more personalized care for back pain sufferers.

This study followed 50 people with chronic low back pain for 10 years after they had a procedure that punctured a spinal disc. Researchers used MRI scans to check if the punctured disc wore out faster than expected. The main goal was to see if the puncture itself caused extra dam…

This study surveyed 330 physiotherapists in Belgium and the Netherlands about their knowledge and beliefs regarding chronic pain and physical activity. It also tested whether an e-learning module could improve their understanding. The goal is to help physiotherapists better suppo…

This study looked at whether physical tests for core strength and function in people with chronic low back pain can be done just as accurately over video as in person. Thirty-six adults completed tests like planks and chair stands both face-to-face and via a secure video call. Th…
