First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study examined 103 adults with chronic non-specific low back pain to understand how body awareness, central sensitization (overactive pain signaling), disability, and muscle endurance are related. Researchers measured pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, and trunk muscle endurance. The goal was to uncover factors that might contribute to ongoing pain and reduced function, which could inform future treatments.
