Suspension training vs biofeedback: which eases back pain best?
NCT ID NCT07448766
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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 changes in pain, range of motion, and muscle endurance to see which method worked better.

- Active substance
- suspension core muscle training and pressure biofeedback training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that simple core exercises are an effective way to reduce chronic low back pain without medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, short-term study with only 48 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require proper technique to avoid injury.
