Summary

This study tests whether adding special exercises to standard treatment (ultrasound and TENS) can improve back muscle size, reduce pain, and increase mobility in people with chronic low back pain. Sixty adults aged 25-55 with pain lasting over 6 months will be split into three groups: one doing open-chain exercises, one doing closed-chain exercises, and one receiving only standard care. The goal is to find a better way to manage this common condition.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward more effective exercise programs for chronic low back pain, potentially reducing pain and improving function.
